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

A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.

For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the LORD.

But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death.

He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.

For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile:

My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee;

Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding;

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

He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly.

Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yea, every good path.

She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her.

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

He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine heart retain my words: keep my commandments, and live.

Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee.

Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart.

He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good: and whoso trusteth in the LORD, happy is he.

For it is a pleasant thing if thou keep them within thee; they shall withal be fitted in thy lips.

Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.

He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
