Ephesians 5:17 Why be you not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is. If the mountains were pearl, if every sand of the sea were a diamond, it were not comparable to wisdom. Without wisdom a person is like a ship without a pilot, in danger to split upon rocks. The price of wisdom is above rubies. The ruby is precious stone, transparent, of a red fiery colour. It is reported of one of the kings of India, he wore a ruby of that bigness and splendour that he might be seen by it in the dark; but wisdom casts a more sparkling colour than the ruby; it makes us shine as angels. (J. Watson.) Parallel Verses KJV: Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.WEB: Therefore don't be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. |
