H7200Then I saw[H8804] H3426thatH2451wisdomH3504excellethH5531follyH216, as far as lightH3504excellethH2822darkness.
G1063ForG2258ye were[G5713] G4218sometimesG4655darknessG1161, butG3568nowG5457are ye lightG1722inG2962the LordG4043: walk[G5720] G5613asG5043childrenG5457of light:
G1161ButG1437ifG4675thineG3788eyeG5600be[G5753] G4190evilG4675, thyG3650wholeG4983bodyG2071shall be[G5704] G4652full of darknessG1487. IfG3767thereforeG5457the lightG2076that is[G5748] G1722inG4671theeG4655be darknessG4214, how greatG4655is that darkness!
H216Truly the lightH4966is sweetH2896, and a pleasantH5869thing it is for the eyesH7200to behold[H8800] H8121the sun:
H7725Then shall ye return[H8804] H7200, and discern[H8804] H6662between the righteousH7563and the wickedH5647, between him that serveth[H8802] H430GodH5647and him that serveth[H8804] him not.
H1697NUN. Thy wordH5216is a lampH7272unto my feetH216, and a lightH5410unto my path.
H2451WisdomH2896is betterH3627than weaponsH7128of warH259: but oneH2398sinner[H8802] H6destroyeth[H8762] H7235much[H8687] H2896good.
H559Then said[H8804] H2451I, WisdomH2896is betterH1369than strengthH4542: nevertheless the poor man'sH2451wisdomH959is despised[H8803] H1697, and his wordsH8085are not heard[H8737] .
H2451WisdomH5810strengtheneth[H8799] H2450the wiseH6235more than tenH7989mightyH5892men which are in the city.
H2896How much betterH7069is it to get[H8800] H2451wisdomH2742than goldH7069! and to get[H8800] H998understandingH977rather to be chosen[H8737] H3701than silver!
H6608The entranceH1697of thy wordsH215giveth light[H8686] H995; it giveth understanding[H8688] H6612unto the simple.
H1270If the ironH6949be blunt[H8765] H7043, and he do not whet[H8773] H6440the edgeH1396, then must he put[H8762] H2428to more strengthH2451: but wisdomH3504is profitableH3787to direct[H8687] .
H2451The wisdomH6175of the prudentH995is to understand[H8687] H1870his wayH200: but the follyH3684of foolsH4820is deceit.
