You will be glad that you know these sayings and can recite them.
When you spoke to me, I was glad to obey, because I belong to you, the LORD All-Powerful.
Wisdom will control your mind, and you will be pleased with knowledge.
Words of wisdom make good sense; the thoughts of a fool make no sense at all.
Many are helped by useful instruction, but fools are killed by their own stupidity.
Listen, because what I say is worthwhile and right.
Your teachings are sweeter than honey.
Our sacrifice is to keep offering praise to God in the name of Jesus.
Have faith in me, and you will have life-giving water flowing from deep inside you, just as the Scriptures say.”
The right word at the right time is like precious gold set in silver.
Good judgment proves that you are wise, and if you speak kindly, you can teach others.
If you have good sense, it will show when you speak. But if you are stupid, you will be beaten with a stick.
Wisdom makes life pleasant and leads us safely along.
If you will teach me your laws, I will praise you
because they bring happiness like treasures taken in war.
They will always be my most prized possession and my source of joy.
With my own mouth, I tell others the laws that you have spoken.
They are worth more than the finest gold and are sweeter than honey from a honeycomb.
You priests should be eager to spread knowledge, and everyone should come to you for instruction, because you speak for me, the LORD All-Powerful.
I am teaching them today, so that you may trust the LORD.
My child, listen carefully to everything I say.
Don't forget a single word, but think about it all.
