A scorner seeks wisdom, and finds it not: but knowledge is easy to him that understands.
Open you my eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of your law.
A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain to wise counsels:
A faithful witness will not lie: but a false witness will utter lies.
Go from the presence of a foolish man, when you perceive not in him the lips of knowledge.
A scorner loves not one that reproves him: neither will he go to the wise.
Why is there a price in the hand of a fool to get wisdom, seeing he has no heart to it?
Wisdom is before him that has understanding; but the eyes of a fool are in the ends of the earth.
A fool has no delight in understanding, but that his heart may discover itself.
Wisdom is too high for a fool: he opens not his mouth in the gate.
See you a man wise in his own conceit? there is more hope of a fool than of him.
All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; there is nothing fraudulent or perverse in them.
They are all plain to him that understands, and right to them that find knowledge.
To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.
The wise men are ashamed, they are dismayed and taken: see, they have rejected the word of the LORD; and what wisdom is in them?
And if any man think that he knows any thing, he knows nothing yet as he ought to know.
If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that gives to all men liberally, and upbraides not; and it shall be given him.
