“And I, indeed I, have appointed with him Aholiab the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan; and I have put wisdom in the hearts of all the gifted artisans, that they may make all that I have commanded you:

And all the women whose hearts stirred with wisdom spun yarn of goats’ hair.

The People Give More than Enough

Then Moses called Bezalel and Aholiab, and every gifted artisan in whose heart the Lord had put wisdom, everyone whose heart was stirred, to come and do the work.

And God gave Solomon wisdom and exceedingly great understanding, and largeness of heart like the sand on the seashore.

Now all the earth sought the presence of Solomon to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.

Then God said to Solomon: “Because this was in your heart, and you have not asked riches or wealth or honor or the life of your enemies, nor have you asked long life—but have asked wisdom and knowledge for yourself, that you may judge My people over whom I have made you king—

And all the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.

God’s Works and Wisdom

“At this also my heart trembles, And leaps from its place.

Who has put wisdom in the mind? Or who has given understanding to the heart?

My mouth shall speak wisdom, And the meditation of my heart shall give understanding.

So teach us to number our days, That we may gain a heart of wisdom.

So that you incline your ear to wisdom, And apply your heart to understanding;

When wisdom enters your heart, And knowledge is pleasant to your soul,

A man will be commended according to his wisdom, But he who is of a perverse heart will be despised.

Wisdom rests in the heart of him who has understanding, But what is in the heart of fools is made known.

Wisdom Is Better Than Gold

The preparations of the heart belong to man, But the answer of the tongue is from the Lord.

Why is there in the hand of a fool the purchase price of wisdom, Since he has no heart for it?

And I set my heart to seek and search out by wisdom concerning all that is done under heaven; this burdensome task God has given to the sons of man, by which they may be exercised.

I communed with my heart, saying, “Look, I have attained greatness, and have gained more wisdom than all who were before me in Jerusalem. My heart has understood great wisdom and knowledge.”

And I set my heart to know wisdom and to know madness and folly. I perceived that this also is grasping for the wind.

I searched in my heart how to gratify my flesh with wine, while guiding my heart with wisdom, and how to lay hold on folly, till I might see what was good for the sons of men to do under heaven all the days of their lives.

I applied my heart to know, To search and seek out wisdom and the reason of things, To know the wickedness of folly, Even of foolishness and madness.

When I applied my heart to know wisdom and to see the business that is done on earth, even though one sees no sleep day or night,

“For you have trusted in your wickedness; You have said, ‘No one sees me’; Your wisdom and your knowledge have warped you; And you have said in your heart, ‘I am, and there is no one else besides me.’

By your great wisdom in trade you have increased your riches, And your heart is lifted up because of your riches),”
