The wisdom of a sensible person guides his way of life, but the stupidity of fools misleads them.
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. Good sense is shown by everyone who follows ⌞God’s guiding principles⌟. His praise continues forever.
I pray that my ways may become firmly established so that I can obey your laws.
Your hands created me and made me what I am. Help me understand so that I may learn your commandments.
Let me hear about your mercy in the morning, because I trust you. Let me know the way that I should go, because I long for you.
A wicked person earns dishonest wages, but whoever spreads righteousness earns honest pay.
The thoughts of righteous people are fair. The advice of wicked people is treacherous.
Stupidity is fun to the one without much sense, but a person who has understanding forges straight ahead.
Then you will understand what is right and just and fair— every good course ⌞in life⌟.
I walk in the way of righteousness, on the paths of justice,
But I saw that wisdom has an advantage over foolishness as light has an advantage over darkness.
Neither the wise person nor the fool will be remembered for long, since both will be forgotten in the days to come. Both the wise person and the fool will die.
Look up, and see those who are coming from the north. Where is the flock that was given to you—your beautiful sheep?
The wisdom of this world is nonsense in God’s sight. That’s why Scripture says, “God catches the wise in their cleverness.”
You were taught to change the way you were living. The person you used to be will ruin you through desires that deceive you.
So don’t be foolish, but understand what the Lord wants.
But evil people and phony preachers will go from bad to worse as they mislead people and are themselves misled.
Do any of you have wisdom and insight? Show this by living the right way with the humility that comes from wisdom.
