Uncover my eyes so that I may see the miraculous things in your teachings.
a wise person will listen and continue to learn, and an understanding person will gain direction—
A trustworthy witness does not lie, but a dishonest witness breathes lies.
Stay away from a fool, because you will not receive knowledge from his lips.
A mocker does not appreciate a warning. He will not go to wise people.
Why should a fool have money in his hand to buy wisdom when he doesn’t have a mind to grasp anything?
Wisdom is directly in front of an understanding person, but the eyes of a fool ⌞are looking around⌟ all over the world.
A fool does not find joy in understanding but only in expressing his own opinion.
Matters of wisdom are beyond the grasp of a stubborn fool. At the city gate he does not open his mouth.
Have you met a person who thinks he is wise? There is more hope for a fool than for him.
Everything I say is fair, and there is nothing twisted or crooked in it.
All of it is clear to a person who has understanding and right to those who have acquired knowledge.
They should go to the teachings and to the written instructions. If people don’t speak these words, it is because it doesn’t dawn on them.
Wise people are put to shame, confused, and trapped. They have rejected the Lord’s word. They don’t really have any wisdom.
Those who think they know something still have a lot to learn.
If any of you needs wisdom to know what you should do, you should ask God, and he will give it to you. God is generous to everyone and doesn’t find fault with them.
