Proiverbs 5:1 My son, attend unto my wisdom, and bow thine ear to my understanding:
2 That thou mayest regard discretion, and that thy lips may keep knowledge.
Again we see wisdom at the start of this chapter asking us to stay focused on what God has entrusted us with. Also to apply the understanding of God to all the opportunities that come our way. To many times we find ourselves where we want to take control and do what we think is best. We need to use discretion and remember what we have learned so that when we speak it is with the knowledge gained from the wisdom God gave us. I believe we are reminded of this at the start of this chapter because we are going to see some things that help us to understand why we need wisdom and how we need to do all we can to maintain it.
