But whoever fails to find me harms himself; all who hate me love death.” ~ Proverbs 8:36If you stop and think about it, it is quite an amazing thing for "widsom" to claim that "she" is the only way to life. That if you spurn her as your first lover, you are in fact relegated to becoming a fool, someone whose life is leading only to the pathways of death. This it TOTALLY TRUE, since God is the author of wisdom from infinity past (see the rest of chapter 8 for this insight.) Interesting thought... and great verse..."wisdom" is totally justified in it's boastfulness then. [not like the picture!]

I like the picture - its a good visual representation of what we are trying to avoid.
"For whoever finds me finds life and receives favor from the Lord."
(8:35)
It turned out to be the verse immediately prior. To me it rang true and simply is so important. Wisdom is what we are searching for, trying to attain, and that is what the Lord wants.
