Get wisdom. Get understanding. Don't forget, neither swerve from the words of my mouth.
He did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, and walked in the ways of David his father, and didn't turn aside to the right hand or to the left.
My foot has held fast to his steps. I have kept his way, and not turned aside.
Many are my persecutors and my adversaries. I haven't swerved from your testimonies.
The arrogant mock me excessively, but I don't swerve from your law.
Our heart has not turned back, neither have our steps strayed from your path,
How much better it is to get wisdom than gold! Yes, to get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver.
Why is there money in the hand of a fool to buy wisdom, seeing he has no understanding?
An unfriendly man pursues selfishness, and defies all sound judgment.
He who gets wisdom loves his own soul. He who keeps understanding shall find good.
Buy the truth, and don't sell it. Get wisdom, discipline, and understanding.
My son, don't forget my teaching; but let your heart keep my mitzvot:
Wisdom is supreme. Get wisdom. Yes, though it costs all your possessions, get understanding.
You simple, understand prudence. You fools, be of an understanding heart.
But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach; and it will be given to him.
