1. Introduction

Proverbs 15:14 New Living Translation (NLT)

¹⁴ A wise person is hungry for knowledge, while the fool feeds on trash.

2. Proverbs Warning!

a) Never be wise above "what is written"...

i) Imitate Jeremiah...

Jeremiah 15:16-17 New Living Translation (NLT)

¹⁶ When I discovered your words, I devoured them.
    They are my joy and my heart’s delight,
for I bear your name,
    O Lord God of Heaven’s Armies.
¹⁷ I never joined the people in their merry feasts.
    I sat alone because your hand was on me.
    I was filled with indignation at their sins.

ii) Imitate Job...

Job 23:12 New Living Translation (NLT)

¹² I have not departed from his commands,
    but have treasured his words more than daily food.
