A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels – Proverbs 1:5 In this age of information, academic knowledge, social knowledge is plentiful, but wisdom is scarce. Wisdom means for more than knowing a lot, it’s a basic attitude that affects every aspect of life. Majority of the time, people will not accept instruction, its our sin nature that keeps us from wanting to hear from anyone else other than our thinking and reasoning. A wise person is one who is teachable, they don’t think they know it all, but will accept sound advice. A wise person is slow to speak and quick to hear, they will discern if the instructions given is sound. In our order to increase in knowledge, one must be able to learn from others and apply what they have received.

Subtilty
To give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion – Proverbs 1:4
Subtilty is used in the Bible as a positive virtue as well as negative. When rendered as prudent, it’s positive, but when used as crafty, it’s negative. Wisdom will give a young man or woman who is easily lead astray or gullible the knowledge and the wisdom of how to turn from anything or anyone that would try to influence them in actions that are contrary to what they have been taught by their parents like ethics and morals.

Instuctions
To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity – Proverbs 1:3
In order to get wisdom, the individual must accept instructions, as well as inquire. As Christians, we need wisdom to live and achieve in this world; as well as need spiritual wisdom pertaining to the things of God.
