“Through wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding it is established:”
Proverbs 24:3 (KJV)
Commentary on Proverbs 24:3
A house is built 'through wisdom' and 'established' through understanding. The Hebrew 'banah' (built) and 'kun' (established/made firm) describe both construction and stability. 'House' refers to household, family, and estate—the comprehensive ordering of life. Wisdom isn't abstract philosophy but practical skill in living. Reformed theology sees wisdom as fearing God and keeping His commandments. A life built on God's truth stands firm; one built on folly collapses (Matthew 7:24-27). This applies to families, churches, businesses, and personal life.
