Thank you all for the warm reception. I've been such a mopey figure all my life, never had the patience to read the bible, For decades it's wisdom had been mostly unknown to me. That's changing. There was a bible verse read to me in church about the nature of truth, it contrasted a man seeking answers from leaned men and a house wife who spent her time cleaning the house, and it was in that the real truth was having your house tidy and cared for. Does anyone know the bible verse I'm referring to?

It's strange, I read from the King James Bible, Proverbs 31
The words of king Lemuel, the prophecy that his mother taught him..
What, my son? and what, the son of my womb? and what the son of my vows?
...
Give her the fruit of her hands; and let her own words praise her in the gates.
it seemed similar but not as eloquent as the one I had read to me at a Quaker gathering those months ago. I don't know what version of the bible she was reading from, but it really spoke more to the nature of truth and not to seek wisdom from learned men. Men who pray for power. I'm ashamed to admit when she read it, I felt like it was speaking to me more than any other thing, like the words from her mouth were directed at me. I felt surreal, I felt humility. It was a powerful moment Like I had been long oblivious to sins, now exposed. I felt vulnerable, as if my sins were known to all.
