“Behold,  the fear of Yahuah, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.”

This week we continue into our study on the subject of the Seven Pillars of Wisdom as listed in Proverbs 8. Last week we saw how in the Book of Proverbs, Solomon often uses the metaphor of a woman to depict “wisdom” speaking to and warning mankind.
