“He who listens to me [i.e., Wisdom] will dwell secure and will be at ease, without dread of evil.” (Proverbs 1:33, RSVCE)
The good life is one of security and ease. It is the reward of a life devoted to Wisdom. It is a simple, quiet, peaceful life in which nothing is desired other than Wisdom. Most men ruin themselves by the desire for pleasure, money and honor. The wise man seeks none of these and, consequently, enjoys the possession of that which he does seek.
