1 Kings 3:9-28

9 So give your servant an understanding mind to govern your people, so I can discern between good and evil. Otherwise, how shall I be able to govern this great people of yours?" 10 The LORD was pleased that Solomon had asked for this, 11 And God said to him, Because your request is for this thing, and not for long life for yourself or for wealth or for the destruction of your haters, but for wisdom to be a judge of causes; 12 "I will do what you have asked. I will give you more wisdom and understanding than anyone has ever had. There has never been nor will ever be anyone like you. 13 And I have also given you what you have not asked, both riches and honor, so that there will not be any among the kings like you all your days. 14 And if you go on in my ways, keeping my laws and my orders as your father David did, I will give you a long life. 15 Solomon awoke; and behold, it was a dream. Then he came to Jerusalem, and stood before the ark of the LORD's covenant, and offered up burnt offerings, offered peace offerings, and made a feast for all his servants. 16 Then two prostitutes came to the king, and they stood before him. 17 One of them said: "Your Majesty, this woman and I live in the same house. I gave birth to a baby boy at home while she was there. 18 The third day after I delivered, this woman delivered also. We were together. There was no stranger with us in the house, just us two in the house. 19 And the son of this woman died at night, because she laid on it. 20 So she got up in the middle of the night, and she took my son from beside me while your servant was asleep, and she put him in her lap, and she put her dead son in my lap. 21 The next morning, I got up to nurse my son, and he was dead. But when I examined him carefully in the light of day, he turned out not to be my son whom I had borne!" 22 The other woman said: "The living child is mine, and the dead one is yours!" The first woman answered back: "The dead child is yours, and the living one is mine!" They argued before the king. 23 And the king said, This one says, This is my son, the living one, and your son the dead. And that one says, No, but your son is the dead, and my son the living. 24 And the king said—Bring me a sword! So they brought a sword before the king. 25 And the sovereign says, Cut the living child in two; and give half to the one and half to the one. 26 But the woman, whose child was alive, said to the king; (for her bowels were moved upon her child) I beseech thee, my lord, give her the child alive, and do not kill it. But the other said: Let it be neither mine nor thine; but divide it. 27 The king announced his decision: "Give the living child to the first woman. Don't kill him. She is his mother." 28 And when all Israel heard of the judgment which the king had given, they feared the king; for they saw that the wisdom of God was in him, to exercise justice.

1 Kings 4:29-34

29 God gave Solomon wisdom and exceptional insight, and very great understanding, even as the sand that is on the seashore. 30 And Solomon's wisdom was greater than the wisdom of all the sons of the east, and than all the wisdom of Egypt. 31 For he was wiser than all men; than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman, and Chalcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol: and his fame was in all the surrounding nations. 32 He spoke three thousand proverbs; and his songs numbered one thousand five. 33 He spoke of trees and plants, from the Lebanon cedars to the hyssop that grows on walls. He talked about animals, birds, reptiles, and fish. 34 People of all nations came to hear the wisdom of Solomon, sent by all kings of the earth, who had heard of his wisdom.

Who stretched a measuring line across it? 6 "On what were its foundations set and who laid its cornerstone? 7 while the morning stars sang together and all the sons of God shouted for joy? 8 "Who shut up the sea behind doors when it burst forth from the womb? 9 "When I made the clouds its garment and wrapped it in thick darkness, 10 when I fixed limits for it and set its doors and bars in place, 11 when I said: 'This far you may come and no farther'; here is where your proud waves halt? 12 "Have you ever commanded the morning, or shown the dawn its place? 13 »It might take the earth by the edges and shake the wicked out of it? 14 "The earth takes shape like clay under a seal. Its features stand out like those of a garment. 15 "The wicked are denied their light, and their upraised arm is broken. 16 "Have you journeyed to the springs of the sea or walked in the recesses of the deep? 17 "Have the gates of death been shown to you? Have you seen the gates of the shadow of death? 18 "Have you comprehended the vast expanses of the earth? Tell me, if you know all this. 19 "Where is the way to the dwelling of light?

You have lived so many years! 22 "Have you entered the storehouses of the snow or seen the storehouses of the hail? 23 "These I reserve for times of trouble, for days of war and battle. 24 "What is the way to the place where the lightning is dispersed, or the place where the east winds are scattered over the earth? 25 "Who cuts a channel for the torrents of rain, and a path for the thunderstorm? 26 "Who waters a land where no man lives, a desert with no one in it? 27 Who satisfies a desolate wasteland to make it sprout with grass? 28 Does the rain have a father? Or who fathers the drops of dew? 29 "From whose womb comes the ice? Who gives birth to the frost from the heavens 30 when the waters become hard as stone, when the surface of the deep is frozen?

Job 39:4-30

4 Their young are weaned and go to feed: they go forth, and return not to them. 5 Who freed the wild ass, and who loosed its bands? 6 Whose home I have constituted the steppe, And the salty wastes as his habitat? 7 He laughs at the turmoil of the city; he does not hear the driver's shouts; 8 The range of the mountains is his pasture, He searches after every green thing. 9 "Will the wild ox be content to serve you? Or will he stay by your feeding trough? 10 Can you hold the wild ox in the furrow with his harness? Or will he till the valleys after you? 11 "Will you rely on him for his great strength? Will you leave your heavy work to him? 12 "Can you trust him to bring in your grain and gather it to your threshing floor? 13 "The wings of the ostrich flap joyfully, but they cannot compare with the pinions and feathers of the stork. 14 "She lays her eggs on the ground and lets them warm in the sand. 15 "She is unaware that a foot may crush them, that some wild animal may trample them. 16 She mistreats her young as though they're not hers, and she has no fear that her labor may be in vain, 17 For God has taken wisdom from her mind, and given her no measure of knowledge. 18 And yet when she rets ready to run, she laughs at the horse and its rider." 19 "Do you give the horse his might? Do you clothe his neck with a mane? 20 Can you make him leap like a locust; the majesty of his snorting is terrifying? 21 He paws in the valley, and rejoices in his strength; he goes on to meet the weapons. 22 "It laughs at fear, is afraid of nothing, and does not back away from swords. 23 A quiver of arrows rattles against his side, along with a flashing spear and a lance. 24 Leaping in his excitement, he takes in the ground; he cannot stand still when the trumpets sound! 25 At the noise of the trumpets he saith, Aha! and he smelleth the battle afar off, the thunder of the captains, and the shouting. 26 Does the hawk fly by your wisdom, and stretch her wings toward the south? 27 Does the eagle mount up at your command and make his nest on high? 28 He dwells on the crags where he makes his home, there on the rocky crag is his stronghold. 29 From there he seeks food, his eyes observe from afar. 30 His young ones, also, sip up blood: and where the slain be, there is he.
