O ye simple, understand wisdom: and, ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart.
The call is addressed to the inexperienced to grasp wisdom and to the foolish to acquire a heart of understanding. It is heavenly wisdom speaking to the whole human family in wonderful instruction, which means the Lord is earnestly seeking to teach every soul willing to be taught. The need is to value that instruction, to have many things put in order, and to be led by the Lord with wisdom.
The Wisdom who calls speaks truth and righteousness, holds out instruction better than silver or gold, and trains the learner to hate evil. Receiving that wisdom brings life and secures the Lord's favor. Coming to know what true wisdom is requires true faith that embraces the entire person and raises the soul from an imperfect, undeveloped condition. This appeal belongs with special force to those living in a time when the binding claims of God's law are to be clearly upheld.
