Proverbs 4:11
Read this verse in depth with cross-references and study notes
God instructs us in wisdom's way and leads us in right paths that bring life.
Divine instruction comes with divine direction—God doesn't just tell us what wisdom is, He teaches us wisdom and then leads us in the upright paths where that wisdom is practiced. These paths are right and straight, free from the crooked ways of foolishness. Following God's leading means walking in wisdom that leads to life.
