"By pride comes nothing but strife, But with the well-advised is wisdom." (Proverbs 13:10 NKJV)
He warns us about the attitude of arrogant know-it-alls; those who only listens their own foolish banter; and, believes it to be the only worthy opinion - their truth. They have bloated hearts, pompous minds, closed ears and widely opened mouths. They are closed to the good counsel of God's words of TRUTH. Standing ill-advised on the ominous ground of ungodliness, they perversely celebrate what is wrong. They call good evil and evil good. They assert that protecting the unborn babies is wrong and killing them is right. They thrive in chaos and strife. That's how run-away pride works in a person who rejects God, refuses to seek and get hold of wisdom from The Lord's holy and written Word.
The well-advised, evermore, gains wisdom and grows in the knowledge of God through faith in Christ Jesus. He seeks, reflects and listens to the counsel of God's Word of Truth. He is blessed, as it is written: "Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night." (Psalm 1:1, 2 ESV)
And I say, AMEN!
