¹⁵ The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge; and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge.

⁵ If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

¹⁴ The heart of him that hath understanding seeketh knowledge: but the mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness.

³⁹ And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word.

²³ Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.

⁹ Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.

⁷ Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.

⁵ A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:

⁹⁷ O how love I thy law! it is my meditation all the day.

⁹⁸ Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies: for they are ever with me.

⁹⁹ I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation.

¹⁰⁰ I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts.

¹⁰¹ I have refrained my feet from every evil way, that I might keep thy word.

¹⁰² I have not departed from thy judgments: for thou hast taught me.

¹⁰³ How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!

¹⁰⁴ Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way.

⁹ Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and bad: for who is able to judge this thy so great a people?
