anger, he is also slow to answer so that he weighs the various

options of answer, and select a most appropriate answer. In crisis

situation, he can remain calms and give out good answers, share

good plans on how to mitigate the crisis. In situation of contenion

with angry customer, he is calm to think of a good answer to pacify

the anger, and solve the problem.

On the contrary, the wicked person speaks forth vanity and foul

speech. He is fast to respond and answer. When facing an angry

customer, he may just refuse to entertain the customer complaint,

and say something rash that increase the customer's anger further. In

dispute, he will inappropriate things that will fuel the dispute among

various disputing parties.

29 The LORDisfar from the wicked,

But He hears the prayer of the righteous. (Proverbs 15:29)

(NKJV)

The Lord loves the righteous person, and listens to the prayer and

supplication of the righteous. God is a fair, yet biased. God is fair

because he blesses the righteous and chastise the wicked. God is

also biased for the same reason, he is positively biased toward the

righteous and pour blessings upon the righteous. For the wicked, God

will be negatively biased having punishment in store for the wicked.

God sets himself at a distance from those that set him at

defiance: The wicked say to the Almighty, Depart from us, and he is,

accordingly, far fromthem; he does not manifest himself to them, has

no communion with them, will not hear them, will not help them, no,

not in the time of their need. They shall be for ever banished from his

presence and he wil l behold them afar off. Depart from me, you

cursed. He will draw nigh to those in a way of mercy who draw nigh

to him in a way of duty: He hears the prayer of the righteous, accepts

it, is well pleased with it, and will grant an answer of peace to it. It

is the prayer of a righteous manthat avails much.

(Proverbs 15:30)(NKJV)

30 The light of the eyes rejoices the heart,

Anda good report makes the bones healthy.[e]

30 The light of the eyes rejoices the heart,

and good news refreshes[c]the bones. (Proverbs 15:30) (RSV)

30 Light in a messengers eyes brings joy to the heart,

and good news gives health to the bones.(Proverbs 15:30)(NIV)

Good things that we see with our eyes wil l bring joy to the heart.

Example: parents seeing the children coming back for the family

reunion. Example: seeing one's favorite singer, actor or actress.

Example: seeing the letter of promotion and salary increase.

Example: seeing the new car or dream car.

Similarly, hearing good news also brings joy and gladness. Hearingthe news of children doing well in exam. Hearing news of best friend

getting married. These are some examples of good news which would

bring joy.

31 The ear that hears the rebukes of life

Will abide among the wise.

32 He who disdains instruction despises his own soul,

But he who heeds rebuke gets understanding.

33 The fear of the LORDisthe instruction of wisdom,

And before honor ishumility. (Proverbs 15:31-33) (NKJV)

31 He whose ear heeds wholesome admonition

will abide among the wise.32 He who ignores instruction despises himself,

but he who heeds admonition gains understanding.

33 The fear of the LORDis instruction in wisdom,

and humility goes before honor. (Proverbs 15:31-33) (RSV)

Characteristics of the wise person:

1) Be in company of other wise friends.

2) Listens to rebuke, reproof and correction.

3) Humble for knowledge and learning, and also a general attitude of

humility.

4) Fear the Lord, love God and obey God's commands.

5) Take heed of instruction and teaching.

It is the character of a wise man that he is very willing to be

reproved, and therefore chooses to converse with those that, both by

their words and example, will show him what is amiss in him: The ear

thatcan take the reproofwill love the reprover. Faithful friendlyreproofs are here called the reproofs of life, not only because they

are to be given in a lively manner, and with a prudent zeal.

Those that are so wise as to bear reproof well will hereby bemade

wiser(Prov. 9:9), and come at length to be numbered among the

wise men of the age, and will have both ability and authority to

The wisdom of those that are willing, not only to be taught, but to be

reproved: He that hears reproof, and amends the faults he is

reproved for, gets understanding, by which his soul is secured from

bad ways and directed in good ways.
