First: Let's look at Agur's prayer (verses 7-9). The author is asking for two practical ways to glorify God. ① I pray that you can stay away from ‘false lies’ and ‘lie’s. This is because the most representative way to love this world is to pursue ‘the lust of the flesh’, ‘the lust of the eyes’ and ‘the pride of life’ (1 John 2:16). ②Thinking about material problems and praying. Because ☞riches--the possibility of denying and forgetting God (Deuteronomy 8:12-17) and making you think that you can live on your own enough, ☞poverty--the possibility of dishonoring God by robbing others Because there is. The author is making practical supplications in order to live a life that glorifies God.
Third: Let's examine the conduct and condition of the wise man (verses 24-33) ① What actions should the wise man practice? Like an ant--industrious, like a savannah--looking forward to danger and fortifying your abode, like a grasshopper--unity, like a lizard--be quick and wise, you can withstand the temptations of this world. Says. ② The qualifications of the wise are presented through the parable of the three animals. Like a lion--to have a fighting spirit that never retreats, like a hound--to take the initiative in solving problems, and like a male goat--to take the lead and act as a protector. When these three elements are in harmony, the wise person will be in a position to lead others and at the same time use God's wisdom effectively.

As such, God's people must prioritize using their wisdom to be on the lookout for possible crimes, and must also have a dignified attitude to boldly use their wisdom in any situation. Amen
