Question

According to Proverbs, toward what does the way of wisdom lead?

folly
discernment
flourishing
confusion
destruction
knowledge
power and wealth

Answer 1

Choose: discernment; flourishing; knowledge; power and wealth.

Explanation (brief):
- Proverbs links wisdom with discernment and understanding (e.g. Prov. 2:2–6).
- Wisdom’s way brings life, pleasant paths and prospering (flourishing) rather than ruin (e.g. Prov. 3:13–18; 4:18).
- Wisdom is associated with knowledge (Prov. 1:2; 2:6).
- Proverbs also connects wisdom with honor, riches and influence (power) (Prov. 8:15–21; 3:16).

Folly, confusion and destruction are the results of the way of foolishness, not wisdom.
