Proverbs - Clamor

Proverbs 9:13

            A foolish woman is clamorous: she is simple, and knoweth nothing.

             

                        Clamorous.  What a word.  We would never want to be described as clamorous.  Some translations use the word ‘loud’.  This word means to murmur, make noise, to be troubled or to be in a commotion.  When we lack wisdom and just take life for what we see without His insight, we most likely will make a lot of noise. 

                        In the book of James we read; “Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.” (James 3:13) Wisdom from the Lord is associated with meekness - the quality of not having to draw attention to self and yield to that which is good.  If we find ourselves talking a lot about a situation we may find that we haven’t the wisdom yet on the matter.  Let us pull away from the clamor and quiet our hearts before the Lord seeking Him to guide and counsel us with wisdom that comes from above.
