The Blessings of Wisdom
Does not wisdom call? Does not understanding raise her voice?
-
They are all straight to him who understands, and right to those who find knowledge.
-
Take my instruction instead of silver, and knowledge rather than choice gold,
-
for wisdom is better than jewels, and all that you may desire cannot compare with her.
-
“I, wisdom, dwell with prudence, and I find knowledge and discretion.
-
I have counsel and sound wisdom; I have insight; I have strength.
-
The Way of Wisdom
Wisdom has built her house; she has hewn her seven pillars.
-
Leave your simple ways, and live, and walk in the way of insight.”
-
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is insight.
-
On the lips of him who has understanding, wisdom is found, but a rod is for the back of him who lacks sense.
-
The wise lay up knowledge, but the mouth of a fool brings ruin near.
-
Doing wrong is like a joke to a fool, but wisdom is pleasure to a man of understanding.
-
The mouth of the righteous brings forth wisdom, but the perverse tongue will be cut off.
-
When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with the humble is wisdom.
-
With his mouth the godless man would destroy his neighbor, but by knowledge the righteous are delivered.
-
Whoever belittles his neighbor lacks sense, but a man of understanding remains silent.
-
Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but he who hates reproof is stupid.
-
A prudent man conceals knowledge, but the heart of fools proclaims folly.
-
By insolence comes nothing but strife, but with those who take advice is wisdom.
-
Every prudent man acts with knowledge, but a fool flaunts his folly.
-
A scoffer seeks wisdom in vain, but knowledge is easy for a man of understanding.
-
Leave the presence of a fool, for there you do not meet words of knowledge.
-
The wisdom of the prudent is to discern his way, but the folly of fools is deceiving.
