For, behold, he who forms the mountains, creates the wind, declares to man what is his thought, who makes the morning darkness, and treads on the high places of the earth: Yahweh, the God of Armies, is his name.

For Yahweh gives wisdom. Out of his mouth comes knowledge and understanding.

Wisdom is supreme. Get wisdom. Yes, though it costs all your possessions, get understanding.

That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him.

A fool’s lips come into strife, and his mouth invites beatings.

The words of a wise man’s mouth are gracious; but a fool is swallowed by his own lips.

Let no one deceive himself. If anyone thinks that he is wise among you in this world, let him become a fool that he may become wise.

A fool has no delight in understanding, but only in revealing his own opinion.

Who is wise, that he may understand these things? Who is prudent, that he may know them? For the ways of Yahweh are right, and the righteous walk in them, but the rebellious stumble in them.

One who walks with wise men grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm.

I thank you and praise you, O God of my fathers, who have given me wisdom and might, and have now made known to me what we desired of you; for you have made known to us the king’s matter.

Get wisdom. Get understanding. Don’t forget, and don’t deviate from the words of my mouth.

One man esteems one day as more important. Another esteems every day alike. Let each man be fully assured in his own mind.

Learn to do well. Seek justice. Relieve the oppressed. Defend the fatherless. Plead for the widow.

Even a fool, when he keeps silent, is counted wise. When he shuts his lips, he is thought to be discerning.

Happy is the man who finds wisdom, the man who gets understanding.

For in much wisdom is much grief; and he who increases knowledge increases sorrow.

How much better it is to get wisdom than gold! Yes, to get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver.

Excellent speech isn’t fitting for a fool, much less do lying lips fit a prince.

Everyone therefore who hears these words of mine and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on a rock.

Because your loving kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise you. So I will bless you while I live. I will lift up my hands in your name.

He who gets wisdom loves his own soul. He who keeps understanding shall find good.

Don’t say, “Why were the former days better than these?” For you do not ask wisely about this.

He who guards his mouth guards his soul. One who opens wide his lips comes to ruin.

Therefore watch carefully how you walk, not as unwise, but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

I have taught you in the way of wisdom. I have led you in straight paths.

Yahweh’s law is perfect, restoring the soul. Yahweh’s covenant is sure, making wise the simple.

Now to him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to him be the glory in the assembly and in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and extol and honor the King of heaven; for all his works are truth, and his ways justice; and those who walk in pride he is able to abase.

Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by his good conduct that his deeds are done in gentleness of wisdom.

When pride comes, then comes shame, but with humility comes wisdom.

So you shall know wisdom to be to your soul. If you have found it, then there will be a reward: Your hope will not be cut off.

But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceful, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.

So teach us to count our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.

The wise in heart accept commandments, but a chattering fool will fall.

With his mouth the godless man destroys his neighbor, but the righteous will be delivered through knowledge.

Oh the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and the knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past tracing out!

This also comes out from Yahweh of Armies, who is wonderful in counsel, and excellent in wisdom.

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, and your ways are not my ways,” says Yahweh.

Walk in wisdom toward those who are outside, redeeming the time. Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.

But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.

A wise son makes a glad father; but a foolish son brings grief to his mother.

My son, if your heart is wise, then my heart will be glad, even mine.

The father of the righteous has great joy. Whoever fathers a wise child delights in him.

For whoever finds me finds life, and will obtain favor from Yahweh.

Many will purify themselves, and make themselves white, and be refined, but the wicked will do wickedly; and none of the wicked will understand, but those who are wise will understand.

That their hearts may be comforted, they being knit together in love, and gaining all riches of the full assurance of understanding, that they may know the mystery of God, both of the Father and of Christ.

Oh come, let’s worship and bow down. Let’s kneel before Yahweh, our Maker.

Haven’t you known? Haven’t you heard? The everlasting God, Yahweh, the Creator of the ends of the earth, doesn’t faint. He isn’t weary. His understanding is unsearchable.

Turn at my reproof. Behold, I will pour out my spirit on you. I will make known my words to you.

Honor widows who are widows indeed.

A fool despises his father’s correction, but he who heeds reproof shows prudence.

Or don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.

For if you thoroughly amend your ways and your doings, if you thoroughly execute justice between a man and his neighbor; if you don’t oppress the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widow, and don’t shed innocent blood in this place, and don’t walk after other gods to your own hurt, then I will cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers, from of old even forever more.

The fear of Yahweh is the beginning of wisdom. All those who do his work have a good understanding. His praise endures forever!

The fear of Yahweh is the beginning of wisdom. The knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.

The fear of Yahweh teaches wisdom. Before honor is humility.

The fear of Yahweh is the beginning of knowledge, but the foolish despise wisdom and instruction.

Pride only breeds quarrels, but wisdom is with people who take advice.

A fool shows his annoyance the same day, but one who overlooks an insult is prudent.

A fool vents all of his anger, but a wise man brings himself under control.

He who is slow to anger has great understanding, but he who has a quick temper displays folly.
