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.

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

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

How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! and to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver!

Wherefore is there a price in the hand of a fool to get wisdom, seeing he hath no heart to it?

Behold, I have taught you statutes and judgments, even as the LORD my God commanded me, that ye should do so in the land whither ye go to possess it.

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.

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?

And God said unto him, Because thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for thyself long life; neither hast asked riches for thyself, nor hast asked the life of thine enemies; but hast asked for thyself understanding to discern judgment;

And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
