Could the "her" we're to embrace to get understanding in Proverbs 4:7 be "her" called charity in 1Cor 13?

The word "her" is never used in Proverbs 4:7 in the origonal text of the bible translated into English.

Well, I was going to answer your question, but.......you've already answered it yourself!  I's all in the scriptures.\n\nTo quote just a part of Proverbs 4 - "Acquire wisdom, acquire understanding. Do not forget, and do not turn aside from the sayings of my mouth.  Do not leave it, and it will keep you. Love it, and it will safeguard you.  Wisdom is the prime thing. Acquire wisdom; and with all that you acquire, acquire understanding.  Highly esteem it, and it will exalt you. It will glorify you because you embrace it.  To your head it will give a wreath of charm; a crown of beauty it will bestow upon you.”

The word in the Greek Textus Receptus is agape, which means "charitable love."  (I would have included the Greek here, but my version of Yahoo! won't let me paste it in).  What do you mean in your question when you differentiate between human and agape love?  In any case, 1 Cor 13:4-13 explains what Paul means by charity.

I looked in 3 Different bible's and in the Halleys Handbook, and Ecclesiastes 7:13 means "Stop and think about everything that God causes to happen. You cannot change a thing, even if you think it is wrong."

Proverbs 3:5-6 “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will direct your paths.”

Amen! God created us FOR HIM- not the other way around.\nAll glory belongs to Him- we do not deserve His wonderful salvation or blessings- yet He does love us- and His ways are the right ways- I love this verse:\n\nPsalm 1:2\nBut his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night.\n\nPsalm 119:70\nTheir hearts are callous and unfeeling, but I delight in your law.

Seems to me if women simply knew their place as God intended this debate would be mute. Certainly this calls for a revival of teaching the true Word of God to bring things back into line with His command....... women should not sin this way and all of them will be smoted down for these transgressions or my name isn't Christian philosopher, Ohn Thuy Long \n\nThank you Ms Truthz and I can't wait to see what you have made me for dinner in the kitchen..'n I hope you got the laundry done cause I need a fresh shirt for Sunday services whilst you are cooking...mmm mmm that turkey smells like it was cooked by an angel from heaven...let anyone be eternally condemned if they don't smell that heaven is cookin' up somethin' good for ya....peeeewww wheeeee!\n\nwOrd

Yes.  There is a verse in the book of Job "the Lord giveth, the Lord taketh away, blessed be the name of the Lord".  I know that alot of people will laugh at me for saying this....but I had a cat that I loved and owned for 17 years.  I had to put her to sleep and I was hysterical, I was truly heartbroken.  I was sobbing with a broken heart, I missed her so much.  The Lord brought this verse before me, and right in the middle of my sobbing I said it out loud, and I meant it.  Blessed, blessed be the name of the Lord who gives and who takes away!  I was healed in that moment of the pain and the sorrow.  What was left was sweetness and the love that dear animal gave me for so many years.\n\nWhen in our pain we call out His name and exalt Him...oh, what His power can do.

I agree with you. It says in the bible that "HE" is a he. It even refers to him as a "HE". Anyways just writing for moral support, keep speaking the truth.

1 Corinthians, 13:\n\nIf I speak in human and angelic tongues, but do not have love, I am a resounding gong or a clashing cymbal.  And if I have the gift of prophecy and comprehend all mysteries and all knowledge; if I have all faith so as to move mountains but do not have love, I am nothing.  If I give away everything I own, and if I hand my body over so that I may boast but do not have love, I gain nothing.\n\nLove is patient, love is kind. It is not jealous, is not pompous, it is not inflated, it is not rude, it does not seek its own interests, it is not quick-tempered, it does not brood over injury, it does not rejoice over wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth. \n\nIt bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.  Love never fails.  If there are prophecies, they will be brought to nothing; if tongues, they will cease; if knowledge, it will be brought to nothing.  For we know partially and we prophesy partially, but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away. \n\nWhen I was a child, I used to talk as a child, think as a child, reason as a child; when I became a man, I put aside childish things.  At present we see indistinctly, as in a mirror, but then face to face.  At present I know partially; then I shall know fully, as I am fully known. \n\nSo faith, hope, love remain, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

I don't, but that sounds like a great idea.  Hmmm, one that I like, that comes to mind right now is 1 John 4: 7-19.  Another one I like that emphasises being non-judgemental, is the one about Jesus talking to Mary of Samaria? at the well, the woman with the 5 husbands... not sure where it is.  Good luck and God Bless

Proverbs 3:27 says "Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, When it is in the power of your hand to do so."

Love = Charity\n\nIf either one fails, it was NOT real love or real charity to begin with. Which is why you can always trust God, people will let you down (or beat you down).

Proverbs 3\n\nFurther Benefits of Wisdom \n\n 1 My son, do not forget my teaching, \n       but keep my commands in your heart, \n 2 for they will prolong your life many years \n       and bring you prosperity. \n\n 3 Let love and faithfulness never leave you; \n       bind them around your neck, \n       write them on the tablet of your heart. \n\n 4 Then you will win favor and a good name \n       in the sight of God and man. \n\n 5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart \n       and lean not on your own understanding; \n\n 6 in all your ways acknowledge him, \n       and he will make your paths straight. [a] \n\n 7 Do not be wise in your own eyes; \n       fear the LORD and shun evil. \n\n 8 This will bring health to your body \n       and nourishment to your bones. \n\n 9 Honor the LORD with your wealth, \n       with the firstfruits of all your crops; \n\n 10 then your barns will be filled to overflowing, \n       and your vats will brim over with new wine. \n\n 11 My son, do not despise the LORD's discipline \n       and do not resent his rebuke, \n\n 12 because the LORD disciplines those he loves, \n       as a father [b] the son he delights in. \n\n 13 Blessed is the man who finds wisdom, \n       the man who gains understanding, \n\n 14 for she is more profitable than silver \n       and yields better returns than gold. \n\n 15 She is more precious than rubies; \n       nothing you desire can compare with her. \n\n 16 Long life is in her right hand; \n       in her left hand are riches and honor. \n\n 17 Her ways are pleasant ways, \n       and all her paths are peace. \n\n 18 She is a tree of life to those who embrace her; \n       those who lay hold of her will be blessed. \n\n 19 By wisdom the LORD laid the earth's foundations, \n       by understanding he set the heavens in place; \n\n 20 by his knowledge the deeps were divided, \n       and the clouds let drop the dew. \n\n 21 My son, preserve sound judgment and discernment, \n       do not let them out of your sight; \n\n 22 they will be life for you, \n       an ornament to grace your neck. \n\n 23 Then you will go on your way in safety, \n       and your foot will not stumble; \n\n 24 when you lie down, you will not be afraid; \n       when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet. \n\n 25 Have no fear of sudden disaster \n       or of the ruin that overtakes the wicked, \n\n 26 for the LORD will be your confidence \n       and will keep your foot from being snared. \n\n 27 Do not withhold good from those who deserve it, \n       when it is in your power to act. \n\n 28 Do not say to your neighbor, \n       "Come back later; I'll give it tomorrow"—\n       when you now have it with you. \n\n 29 Do not plot harm against your neighbor, \n       who lives trustfully near you. \n\n 30 Do not accuse a man for no reason— \n       when he has done you no harm. \n\n 31 Do not envy a violent man \n       or choose any of his ways, \n\n 32 for the LORD detests a perverse man \n       but takes the upright into his confidence. \n\n 33 The LORD's curse is on the house of the wicked, \n       but he blesses the home of the righteous. \n\n 34 He mocks proud mockers \n       but gives grace to the humble. \n\n 35 The wise inherit honor, \n       but fools he holds up to shame.
