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

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

The wise man's eyes are in his head; but the fool walketh in darkness: and I myself perceived also that one event happeneth to them all.

Who is as the wise man? and who knoweth the interpretation of a thing? a man's wisdom maketh his face to shine, and the boldness of his face shall be changed.

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

Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? for riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven.

Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity; and quicken thou me in thy way.

Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the desire: this is also vanity and vexation of spirit.

For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
