Bible verses about "knowledge" | YLT

¹ My son, if thou dost accept my sayings, And my commands dost lay up with thee, ² To cause thine ear to attend to wisdom, Thou inclinest thy heart to understanding, ³ For, if for intelligence thou callest, For understanding givest forth thy voice, ⁴ If thou dost seek her as silver, And as hid treasures searchest for her, ⁵ Then understandest thou fear of Jehovah, And knowledge of God thou findest. ⁶ For Jehovah giveth wisdom, From His mouth knowledge and understanding. ⁷ Even to lay up for the upright substance, A shield for those walking uprightly. ⁸ To keep the paths of judgment, And the way of His saints He preserveth. ⁹ Then understandest thou righteousness, And judgment, and uprightness—every good path.
¹⁰ For wisdom cometh into thy heart, And knowledge to thy soul is pleasant, ¹¹ Thoughtfulness doth watch over thee, Understanding doth keep thee, ¹² To deliver thee from an evil way, From any speaking froward things, ¹³ Who are forsaking paths of uprightness, To walk in ways of darkness, ¹⁴ Who are rejoicing to do evil, They delight in frowardness of the wicked, ¹⁵ Whose paths are crooked, Yea, they are perverted in their ways. ¹⁶ To deliver thee from the strange woman, From the stranger who hath made smooth her sayings, ¹⁷ Who is forsaking the guide of her youth, And the covenant of her God hath forgotten. ¹⁸ For her house hath inclined unto death, And unto Rephaim her paths. ¹⁹ None going in unto her turn back, Nor do they reach the paths of life. ²⁰ That thou dost go in the way of the good, And the paths of the righteous dost keep. ²¹ For the upright do inhabit the earth, And the perfect are left in it, ²² And the wicked from the earth are cut off, And treacherous dealers plucked out of it!

⁶⁶ The goodness of reason and knowledge teach me, For in Thy commands I have believed.

⁶ Cut off have been My people for lack of knowledge, Because thou knowledge hast rejected, I reject thee from being priest to Me, And thou forgettest the law of thy God, I forget thy sons, I also!

⁷ Be not wise in thine own eyes, Fear Jehovah, and turn aside from evil. ⁸ Healing it is to thy navel, And moistening to thy bones. ⁹ Honour Jehovah from thy substance, And from the beginning of all thine increase; ¹⁰ And filled are thy barns with plenty, And with new wine thy presses break forth. ¹¹ Chastisement of Jehovah, my son, despise not, And be not vexed with His reproof, ¹² For whom Jehovah loveth He reproveth, Even as a father the son He is pleased with.
¹³ O the happiness of a man who hath found wisdom, And of a man who bringeth forth understanding. ¹⁴ For better is her merchandise Than the merchandise of silver, And than gold—her increase. ¹⁵ Precious she is above rubies, And all thy pleasures are not comparable to her. ¹⁶ Length of days is in her right hand, In her left are wealth and honour. ¹⁷ Her ways are ways of pleasantness, And all her paths are peace. ¹⁸ A tree of life she is to those laying hold on her, And whoso is retaining her is happy. ¹⁹ Jehovah by wisdom did found the earth, He prepared the heavens by understanding. ²⁰ By His knowledge depths have been rent, And clouds do drop dew.
²¹ My son! let them not turn from thine eyes, Keep thou wisdom and thoughtfulness, ²² And they are life to thy soul, and grace to thy neck. ²³ Then thou goest thy way confidently, And thy foot doth not stumble. ²⁴ If thou liest down, thou art not afraid, Yea, thou hast lain down, And sweet hath been thy sleep. ²⁵ Be not afraid of sudden fear, And of the desolation of the wicked when it cometh. ²⁶ For Jehovah is at thy side, And He hath kept thy foot from capture.
²⁷ Withhold not good from its owners, When thy hand is toward God to do it . ²⁸ Say not thou to thy friend, `Go, and return, and to-morrow I give,' And substance with thee. ²⁹ Devise not against thy neighbour evil, And he sitting confidently with thee. ³⁰ Strive not with a man without cause, If he have not done thee evil. ³¹ Be not envious of a man of violence, Nor fix thou on any of his ways. ³² For an abomination to Jehovah is the perverted, And with the upright is His secret counsel. ³³ The curse of Jehovah is in the house of the wicked. And the habitation of the righteous He blesseth. ³⁴ If the scorners He doth scorn, Yet to the humble He doth give grace. ³⁵ Honour do the wise inherit, And fools are bearing away shame!

⁷ Fear of Jehovah is a beginning of knowledge, Wisdom and instruction fools have despised!
