People these days are too busy looking for wealth they forget that they may have all the riches in the world but without wisdom they will fail.
Who wouldn't want to have the wisdom of King Solomon right?

from those whose words are twisted.

feet that race to do wrong,
19 a false witness who pours out lies,
a person who sows discord in a family.

8 So don’t bother correcting mockers;
