Proverbs 10 - 12

Solomon speaks much of the connection between wisdom and integrity.  Wisdom allows one to lead a life that is unbroken at its core - a life of integrity.  The character of a wise man is well known - as are the character deficiencies of a foolish person.  While the fool suffers trouble and disaster, a wise man is able to weather those storms and emerge victorious, regardless of what may have been lost or destroyed in the process.  The wise seek out counsel and assistance from others, the fool consults himself and is proven to be in folly.  The life-paths of these individuals are clearly seen and greatly different from one another.
