So you may walk in the way of goodness, And keep [to] the paths of righteousness. Proverbs 2:20 (NKJV)
In the book of Proverbs wisdom is referred to with a feminine pronoun. For example, Proverbs 1:20-21 Wisdom shouts in the streets. She cries out in the public square. She calls to the crowds along the main street, to those gathered in front of the city gate
Like a woman is a companion and helper to the man, wisdom is our God assigned life companion and helper.
Wisdom delivers us from another dangerous woman called the immoral seductress (Proverbs 2:16-19) who represents the way of living that appears attractive but leads to destruction. This woman or way of living forsakes the covenant of God (Proverbs 2:17) which means rejecting relationship and fellowship with God. This leads to death (Proverbs 2:18). But wisdom rescues and keeps us from that woman or way and sets and keeps us in the way of goodness and the path of righteousness. Choose and treat wisdom as your lifetime companion and helper so you may live and walk in the way of goodness which is abundant life, perfect peace, fullness of joy, true rest and lasting fulfillment.
