I love the saying, “Knowledge tells you that a tomato is a fruit, wisdom tells you not to put a tomato in a fruit salad” I first heard it from Richard Collins on Deovox. Clearly the Israelites prized wisdom. They prized it in their king, they said it was something so worth seeking after that the personified it as an almost godlike figure, appealing in the streets for followers. For them, it’s God’s best gift: “Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding.” (4:7)
