Full of Grace, Seasoned with Salt: Female Foolery

Considering wisdom and foolishness, I decided to browse the book of Proverbs.

LIBER PROVERBIORUM 18: 5-7

Accipere personam impii non est bonum,
ut declines iustum in iudicio.
Labia stulti miscent se rixis,
et os eius plagas provocat.
Os stulti ruina eius,
et labia ipsius laqueus animae eius.


Learn to love the Law and meditate upon it; only then should one dare to teach about it... but to speak against it is the ultimate folly? If this is true, it's not a lesson that SSM advocates wish to learn. There are days when running away to the monastery is very appealing. Then again, if this counsel be good, I myself should heed it.

I should spend more time on the wisdom literature.
