²³ To work out evil devices is as laughter to a fool; so wisdom is to a man of understanding.

²⁰ Hear advice, and receive instruction, so that you may be wise in your latter end.

¹⁵ The heart of the prudent gets knowledge, and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge.

⁷ The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of knowledge; but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

²⁷ He who has knowledge uses few words; a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit. ²⁸ Even a fool, when he is silent, is counted wise, and he who shuts his lips is counted as a man of understanding.

¹⁶ Let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

¹⁵ See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, ¹⁶ redeeming the time, because the days are evil. ¹⁷ Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is.

¹³ Blessed is the man who finds wisdom, and the man who gets understanding. ¹⁴ For the profit from it is better than the gain from silver, and its produce more than fine gold; ¹⁵ she is more precious than rubies; and all the things you can desire are not to be compared with her. ¹⁶ Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand, riches and honor. ¹⁷ Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace. ¹⁸ She is a tree of life to those who lay hold upon her; and happy is everyone who keeps her.

¹⁷ But the wisdom that is from above is first truly pure, then peaceable, gentle, easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy.

⁵ But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and with no reproach, and it shall be given to him.
