"Jehovah Himself Gives Wisdom"

'The Upright Will Reside in the Earth'

Summing up the objective of his counsel on wisdom, Solomon states: "The purpose is that you may walk in the way of good people and that the paths of righteous ones you may keep." (Proverbs 2:20) What a wonderful purpose wisdom serves! It helps us lead a happy and satisfying life that meets with God's approval.

Consider also the grand blessings that are in store for those who "walk in the way of good people." Solomon continues: "The upright are the ones that will reside in the earth, and the blameless are the ones that will be left over in it. As regards the wicked, they will be cut off from the very earth; and as for the treacherous, they will be torn away from it." (Proverbs 2:21, 22) May you be among the blameless who will reside forever in God's righteous world. -2 Peter 3:13.
