"Who is like a wise man?
And who knows the interpretation of a thing?
A man’s wisdom makes his face shine,
And the sternness of his face is changed." v.1
Read chapter 8
Wisdom can change everything. When one has wisdom his perspectives change. Think of a court case of someone charged for murder. It's easy right off the bat to say he's guilty since he was brought in and named by officials that he's the prime suspect, but as the case unfolds with more and more evidence it becomes obvious he didn't do it and someone else did. Your perspective from the beginning to the end is completely changed.
This man that has wisdom has a shining, changed face; it is illuminated and confident. It's kind of like Moses after he spoke with God that it caused his face to shine and give him confident leadership of the people Israel.
How few there are today that "knows the interpretation of a thing." Those that can rightly expound, teach and satisfy himself and others in doubtful things.
Do you have a "wise man" in your life? When was a time when your perspectives changed after you got wisdom?
