Chapter 2: So one should seek wisdom like a treasure. On the
opposite side, this will keep him from the loose woman. Her house sinks down to death. those who go down do not come back.This loose woman has double meaning: it can mean literally a loose harlot or an adulteress. it can also mean personified folly. For just as wisdom comes to be personified, so also Folly. Those who follow the loose woman of folly at the end of their lives will groan and wish they had not despised wisdom. |
