Proverbs 17:24

Hebrew Names version (HNV)

Wisdom is before the face of one who has understanding, but the eyes of a fool wander to the ends of the earth.

See the chapter Copy

Turn my eyes away from looking at worthless things. Revive me in your ways.

A scoffer seeks wisdom, and doesn't find it, but knowledge comes easily to a discerning person.

The heart of one who has understanding seeks knowledge, but the mouths of fools feed on folly.

A foolish son brings grief to his father, and bitterness to her who bore him.

Why do you set your eyes on that which is not? For it certainly sprouts wings like an eagle and flies in the sky.

The wise man's eyes are in his head, and the fool walks in darkness--and yet I perceived that one event happens to them all.

Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the desire. This also is vanity and a chasing after wind.

Who is like the wise man? And who knows the interpretation of a thing? A man's wisdom makes his face shine, and the hardness of his face is changed.

If anyone desires to do his will, he will know about the teaching, whether it is from God, or if I am speaking from myself.

For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, isn't the Father's, but is the world's.
