The proverbs [truths obscurely expressed, maxims and parables] of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel:
That people may know skill and godly wisdom and instruction, discern and comprehend the words of understanding and insight.
If you will turn [repent] and give heed to my reproof, behold, I [Wisdom], will pour out my spirit upon you, I will make My words known to you.

Over the door of the school of Plato these words were written in Greek, “Let no one enter who is not a geometrician.”

But Solomon opens wide the doors of his Proverbs with a special message of welcome to the unlearned, the simple, the foolish, the young, and even to the wise, that all “may increase in learning.”

Read “the Wisdom of God” [v23] instead of “Wisdom” and see the wonderful power of this book.

    Plato was saying that he was arrogant. He didn’t know anything, he merely thought he did, and his work lead to the creation of politics and lawyers. What I fear is that 300 year later he had a second coming. You may be batting for the wrong side.

    Plato cannot repent.
