Ecclesiastes 10:2
A wise man's heart inclines him to the right,
but a fool's heart to the left.
Tag: Right and Wrong have a Different Path
The above proverb is from Solomon’s collection in a book where he is drawing a conclusion from all his observations of life. He has tasted riches and experienced all types of stimulus and has concluded that there is a vast difference between wisdom and folly. There is no significance to “right” and “left” in the above verse. The point he is making is the contrast. Those who are “wise” make different choices than those who are “fools.” This might be what Amos was saying in his prophetic book:
Amos 3:3
“Do two walk together,
unless they have agreed to meet?
We can’t walk with God and play with fools. We can’t profess we love God and love the folly of this world. Like it or not, but faith followers should have a different path than those without faith. We are to come out from the world and to be separated:
2 Corinthians 6:17
Therefore go out from their midst,
and be separate from them, says the Lord,
and touch no unclean thing;
then I will welcome you,
In this life we will observe those who know not God go one way. We are to go the other.
