( 51 ) Pr 10:14 � Wise "chakam" men lay up knowledge : but the mouth of the foolish is near destruction .

( 52 ) Pr 11:29 � He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind : and the fool shall be servant to the wise "chakam" of heart .

Winning souls makes us wise...
Witnessing is a part of Jesus work in us...
Fruit bearing is a sign of His powers working
in us..
( 54 ) Pr 12:15 � The way of a fool is right in his own eyes : but he that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise "chakam".
.. hearkeneth unto counsel is wise .
Notice the contrast to the wise, is the self powered "human-god"
who is right in his own eyes.
So the self indulgent is a poor listener,
So the self indulgent is not wise
So the self indulgent does not listen to others
So the self indulgent is not one who bears good fruit
The self indulgent is selfish, not willing to share or be cheerful.
( 55 ) Pr 12:18 � There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword : but the tongue of the wise "chakam" is health .
.. but the tongue of the wise ..
( 56 ) Pr 13:1 � A wise "chakam" son heareth his father's instruction : but a scorner heareth not rebuke .
.. wise ..
( 57 ) Pr 13:14 � The law of the wise "chakam" is a fountain of life , to depart from the snares of death .
.. wise ..
( 58 ) Pr 13:20 � He that walketh with wise "chakam" men shall be wise "chakam": but a companion of fools shall be destroyed . {destroyed: Heb. broken}
.. .. wise ..with wise men shall be wise ..
( 59 ) Pr 14:3 � In the mouth of the foolish is a rod of pride : but the lips of the wise "chakam" shall preserve them.

Notice the wise have sweet lips, but the self powered self indulgent
ones are rods of pride !!
( 60 ) Pr 14:16 � A wise "chakam" man feareth , and departeth from evil : but the fool rageth , and is confident .
.. wise ..
