JOD. Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: give me understanding, that I may learn thy commandments.

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.

And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.

Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.

For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.

If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.

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.

Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.

This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.

But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.

Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations, which shall hear all these statutes, and say, Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.

Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:

But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.

If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:

For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.

So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.

Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.

With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments.

I intreated thy favour with my whole heart: be merciful unto me according to thy word.

The proud have forged a lie against me: but I will keep thy precepts with my whole heart.
