There is just so much here! I don't think we can cover it all even if we had all day. With rich passages like these you just have to pick a couple thoughts meditate on them, and come back and pick up another truth for another day. Ch. 9 verse 10 says...
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is insight.
That sounds pretty foundational to me and it makes me think of James 3: 17
But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere.
Would it not be great to see more of that in our lives? It all starts with a proper knowledge and fear of God. When we know the Holy One; care more about what He says and thinks than what we feel; and in a practical way place Him over others and our things, THEN we will start at the beginning of wisdom.
