  3. Beginning reminds me of God speaking to job. At the end of his book. Wisdom. Give me only my daily bread! Quite the women in the rest of these verses

  5. Wisdom shared about many aspects of the writers observations and first and foremost is the supremacy and the priority of God in comparison to man. And how true Proverbs 30:5 is….how comforting to have such a refuge available. And how wise to recognize the dangers of both having too much and having too little. And may we be ones whose hearts are true, humble and pure. And I like the pattern that comes at the end: 3 things I know/4 things are true..some very interesting and thought provoking observations in them as well….and btw, respecting father and mother is reenforced twice in the Proverb.

  6. We are just mere humans compared to God who is the creator of all things. Because he loves us, he gives his perfect word to guide us throughout our lives. It is wise to keep from telling lies and to only have just enough to live so you always depend on God. The observations listed here are interesting and makes me think how wise it is to live our lives according to the principles laid out in God’s word.
