In contrast, the wise man is a doer of the Word. He doesn’t just listen—he applies what he learns. His wisdom is demonstrated through obedience to Jesus' teachings, which serve as a solid foundation for his life.

The wise person, however, responds differently. The word "nāḥaṯ" in the Hebrew text means "penetrates." A rebuke penetrates the heart and mind of the wise person, sinking deeply

 The wise person pays careful attention to correction. The word "heed" goes beyond simply hearing; it means to take it seriously and apply it.

The wise are known for their self-control and calm spirit. Instead of reacting out of fear or anxiety, the wise person holds their peace and takes the time to respond thoughtfully. The greatest antidote to a hasty spirit is love.

In contrast, the wise person demonstrates discernment, knowing when to speak and when to stay silent. The phrase "holds it back" in Hebrew suggests calming or pacifying one's spirit. This doesn’t mean suppressing emotions but managing them with intentionality and faith.

In contrast, the wise understand the power of silence. The key verse shows us that even if one lacks wisdom, remaining silent can give the appearance of understanding.

In contrast, the wise of heart receive commandments. This begins with humility—a willingness to accept advice, instruction, or correction, whether from God or others. The essence of wisdom is being teachable, marked by a heart that listens and is open to change.

 In contrast, the wise person "walks in wisdom." This verb, "walk," refers to one’s way of life—how they conduct themselves daily.

In Ephesians 5:15-16, Paul encourages believers to walk wisely, making the most of every opportunity.

Wisdom (chokmah) is the ability to apply that knowledge in daily life, making decisions that align with God’s will.

The wise embrace instruction and correction, viewing them as tools for growth and transformation. Humility before God is the starting point of wisdom.

There are both benefits and consequences: wisdom leads to life, while foolishness leads to destruction.

Fasting, coupled with prayer, can lead to supernatural breakthroughs. Jesus taught that certain spiritual challenges can only be overcome through fasting and prayer (Mark 9:29).
