So then, where does wisdom begin, and where is the place of understanding?
But, in truth, where is wisdom to be found, and where is the place of understanding?
It has been hidden from the eyes of all living things, just as the birds of the heavens escape notice.
God understands its way, and he knows its location.
And he said to man, "Behold the fear of the Lord. Such is wisdom. And to withdraw from evil, this is understanding."
For the Lord bestows wisdom, and out of his mouth, prudence and knowledge.
Every excellent gift and every perfect gift is from above, descending from the Father of lights, with whom there is no change, nor any shadow of alteration.
But if anyone among you is in need of wisdom, let him petition God, who gives abundantly to all without reproach, and it shall be given to him.
