the right hand is the place of honor, and the left is an inferior position. The right hand is the place of skill, and the left is the place of awkwardness. The right hand is the place of uprightness, and the left is off the mark of righteousness. A wise person’s heart inclines to the right. Wisdom is proven by the way a person lives and acts. Foolishness is also proven by the way a person lives and acts.

It seems that one point is wisdom brings honor to a person. The Bible, especially in the wisdom literature, gives enough information about what is wise for a man or a woman to live perfectly wisely, bearing the image of God with honor. But to know what is wise and fail to live accordingly is the height of foolishness.

James 1:22 says, “Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.” Read the Bible to know what wisdom is, and obey the Bible to be wise.
