What does the Bible say about understanding in Proverbs?

Answered in 1 source

Proverbs teaches that understanding is a gift from God, distinguishing the wise from the foolish.

In Proverbs, particularly chapter 15, understanding is presented as a divine enlightenment given by God to His people. It is not mere intellectual knowledge, but a spiritual insight that allows one to see God and oneself accurately. The wise seek knowledge while the foolish feed on folly. Proverbs 15 highlights that those who receive understanding are characterized by their desire for knowledge and correction, which comes from recognizing one's need for God. This understanding ultimately leads to a life that reflects one's faith in Christ.
