A scorner seeketh wisdom, and findeth it not: the learning of the wise is easy.
But if any of you want wisdom, let him ask of God, who giveth to all men abundantly, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he hath not yet known as he ought to know.
They are right to them that understand, and just to them that find knowledge.
The wise men are confounded, they are dismayed and taken: for they have cast away the word of the Lord, and there is no wisdom in them.
To the law rather, and to the testimony. And if they speak not according to this word, they shall not have the morning light.
Hast thou seen a man wise in his own conceit? there shall be more hope of a fool than of him.
A fool receiveth not the words of prudence: unless thou say those things which are in his heart.
Wisdom shineth in the face of the wise: the eyes of fools are in the ends of the earth.
A wise man shall hear and shall be wiser: and he that understandeth, shall possess governments.
A faithful witness will not lie: but a deceitful witness uttereth a lie.
Go against a foolish man, and he knoweth not the lips of prudence.
Wisdom is too high for a fool, in the gate he shall not open his mouth.
All my words are just, there is nothing wicked nor perverse in them.
A corrupt man loveth not one that reproveth him: nor will he go to the wise.
What doth it avail a fool to have riches, seeing he cannot buy wisdom? He that maketh his house high, seeketh a downfall: and he that refuseth to learn, shall fall into evils.
