The Book of Wisdom in the Bible begins by teaching us that it is only through the path of righteousness ("Do to no one what you yourself hate" Tobit 4:15) that we can know God. Righteousness, as an attribute of God, is compassionate, benevolent, progressive, and expansive.
It is the task of the science of wisdom to teach man the correct path of life, to bless and prosper him. The vast majority of people when they need spiritual help look for self-help or motivation books, but the truth is that these people are deceived, in most cases, people fail due to ignorance, due to lack of wisdom to live. People get carried away by their fleeting desires, their passions, and forget the importance of assertiveness (precision and accuracy) in decisions, something in which wisdom is insistent.
There are many cases in the Bible on this subject, Cain killed his brother Abel out of passion; Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, allowed himself to be carried away by his own impulses, forgetting the wise advice of the elders, which led to the division of the Kingdom of Israel in two, with the assembly of Shechem.
If we live without wisdom we cannot be blessed people, we live in a universe governed by ethical laws, and that is indisputable, and wisdom takes these laws into account, and one of particular importance, the law of sowing and reaping, a cosmic law of balance, learning, and retribution: "For they sow the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind." Hosea 8:7.
The book of wisdom, with a beautiful thought, invites us to leave everything that is twisted, perverse, and convoluted, to accept the clarity of thought that comes with the science of God, we choose:
"For perverse counsels separate people from God,
and his power, put to the proof, rebukes the foolhardy.
Because into a soul that plots evil wisdom does not enter,
nor does she dwell in a body under debt of sin" Wisdom 1:3-4.
