My absolute favorite part of this chapter is verse 13. It actually made me laugh out loud. Let me elaborate…
Verse 13 states, “A foolish women is clamorous; She is simple, and knows nothing.”
Let me put that in terms people today would understand, “Girl, you are obnoxious, conceded and stupid.”
That is just so funny to me. I can imagine a modern-day Solomon saying this to a foolish girl, and then the whole room going silent, with the occasional “Ooohhhhh” or “Oh snap.” Maybe even some nervous giggles.
If you don’t want to be this foolish girl that Solomon so bluntly describes, just follow verse 10.
“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.” So, to avoid being that obnoxious, cocky, and stupid girl, seek and love God with all your heart.
