Bible Commentary

Proverbs 8:19

Wisdom is not just better in principle — her outcomes (fruit) are practically superior to what wealth alone can produce. Wise living yields richer results than rich living.

Memory phrase: Wisdom's fruit is best of all.

Talk about it: What does it mean for wisdom to have 'fruit'? What good things does wisdom grow in your life?

Prayer: God, help me grow the fruit of wisdom in my life — fruit that is worth more than anything money can buy.
