The Book of Wisdom 4:7-15: A Guide to Living a Virtuous LifeThe Book of Wisdom, also known as the Wisdom of Solomon, is a biblical book that is part of the Deuterocanonical books, which are considered canonical by Catholics and Eastern Orthodox Christians. The book is attributed to King Solomon, who is said to have written it as a guide for his son and successor, Rehoboam. In chapter 4, verses 7-15, we find a passage that offers valuable insights into the nature of wisdom and how it relates to living a virtuous life. The passage in question reads:
“For I have learned that there is no better thing for them to do but to rejoice and to do good as long as they live; and also that every man should eat and drink and enjoy the good of all his labor, it is the gift of God. I have seen everything in my days of vanity: there is a righteous man who perishes in his righteousness, and there is a wicked man who prolongs his life in his wickedness. Be not righteous overmuch, and be not wicked overmuch; why should you die before your time? It is good that you should take hold of this, and from that not let your hand go; but keep yourself from both. There is not a righteous man on earth who does only good and never sins. Therefore do not make yourselves too righteous, neither be too wise; why should you destroy yourself? But do not be too wicked, neither be a fool; why should you die before your time? It is good to take hold of one thing and not let go of the other; for he who fears God shall escape from both.” the book of wisdom 4 7-15
(Wisdom 4:7-15, ESV) In this passage, the author of the Book of Wisdom offers a nuanced view of wisdom and how it relates to living a virtuous life. The author notes that there is no better thing for people to do than to rejoice and do good as long as they live (verse 7). This suggests that wisdom involves finding joy and fulfillment in doing good and living a virtuous life. The Book of Wisdom 4:7-15: A Guide to
Never will there be a fancier temporary spacer than terrazzo- ha! It looks absolutely stunning.
haha right?!
I had been wondering how that thick grout line would hold up as most sanded grouts say max 1/2”! Thank you for sharing! It’s beautiful!!
Love it. I want to see your vanity! Also, are your terrazzo floors matte or glossy finish? X
I second this!! I actually came on here hoping we’d get a little morsel on the custom concrete vanity/sink. But perhaps she’s been giving it time just like this tile install before sharing.
Thank you for sharing! It turned out fabulous and I appreciate you wanting to make sure it held up well.
Hi sarah,
That tile is so beautiful! I want to do something similar in my shower but worried the thick grout will start to show cracks after awhile. Did you seal the grout in yours?
What mirror is that? I have been looking for a similar mirror? Is the mirror backlit?
Did you have to fill in the 1″ area of grout enough to cover the top and bottom of the tiles?
[…] matte white on the walls and the Natural Zellige on the floor. Read all about how we executed the wall tile treatment here. I designed the custom concrete vanity with an integrated sink and had it fabricated […]
I am curious if you could give any insight into how the application of the grout was done. How did you keep the one inch grout line looking smooth while also making sure to remove any grit haze from the tile? I would be afraid that as I wipe the grout off the tile face that I would mess up the finish of the thick grout line. I really want to try this but it makes me nervous!
Did you use a schluter tile edge strip where the tile transi to REGULAR wall?
Hi Gina!
No, Cle offered glazed trim tile so it looks like an edge so no need for a schluter.
