Proverbs gives us the choice between two paths: the way of Wisdom and the way of Folly. Wisdom, it tells us, is “more precious than jewels, and nothing you desire can compare with her.” Folly, on the other hand, is “bitter wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword.” So why would we ever choose folly? Because our Enemy makes the way of death look good with shiny packaging and promises of delight. In order to choose the way of Wisdom, we need to learn to recognize the seduction of sin.
