The LORD by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath he established the heavens.

My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion:

Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth.

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

I have taught thee in the way of wisdom; I have led thee in right paths.

My son, attend unto my wisdom, and bow thine ear to my understanding:

Say unto wisdom, Thou art my sister; and call understanding thy kinswoman:

Doth not wisdom cry? and understanding put forth her voice?

O ye simple, understand wisdom: and, ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart.

For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.

I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions.

Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength.

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.

In the lips of him that hath understanding wisdom is found: but a rod is for the back of him that is void of understanding.

The lips of the righteous feed many: but fools die for want of wisdom.

It is as sport to a fool to do mischief: but a man of understanding hath wisdom.

The mouth of the just bringeth forth wisdom: but the froward tongue shall be cut out.

When pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly is wisdom.

He that is void of wisdom despiseth his neighbour: but a man of understanding holdeth his peace.

A man shall be commended according to his wisdom: but he that is of a perverse heart shall be despised.

Only by pride cometh contention: but with the well advised is wisdom.

A scorner seeketh wisdom, and findeth it not: but knowledge is easy unto him that understandeth.

The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way: but the folly of fools is deceit.

Folly is joy to him that is destitute of wisdom: but a man of understanding walketh uprightly.

The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour is humility.
