## Daily verse reflections

Proverbs has 31 chapters, so it reads well one chapter a day for a month. Personal reflections from
that reading live in the [Wisdom](https://the-way.lewy.au/wisdom/) section rather than here, because they are
devotional notes rather than commentary:

## Attitudes

What attitudes are we taught.

!!! note "📖 Wisdom is following God's laws"

    And these laws are not a burden, but life.

!!! warning "⚖️ Any path away from God is death"

    The path apart from God is:

    - selfish
    - death
    - deceptive
    - seemingly good to the simple
