32 "And now, O sons, listen to me: blessed are those who keep my ways.
33 Hear instruction and be wise, and do not neglect it.
34 Blessed is the one who listens to me, watching daily at my gates, waiting beside my doors.
35 For whoever finds me finds life and obtains favor from the LORD,
36 but he who fails to find me injures himself; all who hate me love death."
Wisdom, who is speaking here, is more than just practical benefits and prudence in decision making. It is the gateway to salvation. Realization of our helplessness and acceptance of the grace offered in Christ is not only the wisest decision, it leads to Godly wisdom. All who desire it, gain it.
