Scripture Focus: Proverbs 8:11 & 12, 32-36

11 Wisdom is better than pearls;
nothing is more delightful than she.

12 I, Wisdom, dwell with prudence;
I have found knowledge and discretion.

32 Now children, listen to me:
Happy are those who keep to my ways!
33 Listen to instruction, and be wise;
don’t avoid it.
34 Happy are those who listen to me,
watching daily at my doors,
waiting at my doorposts.
35 Those who find me find life;
they gain favor from the Lord.
36 Those who offend me injure themselves;
all those who hate me love death.
