Proverbs 17:24

Modern King James Version

Wisdom is before him who has understanding, but the eyes of a fool are in the ends of the earth.

See the chapter Copy

Turn away my eyes from seeing vanity; in Your way give me life.

A scorner seeks wisdom, and it is not found, but knowledge is easy to him who understands.

The heart of him who has understanding seeks knowledge, but the mouth of fools feeds on foolishness.

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

Will your eyes fly on it? And it is gone! For surely it makes wings for itself; it flies into the heavens like an eagle.

The wise man's eyes are in his head; but the fool walks in darkness; and I also knew that one event happens to all of them.

Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the desire. This is also vanity and vexation of spirit.

Who is as the wise? And who knows the meaning of a thing? A man's wisdom makes his face to shine, and the boldness of his face shall be changed.

If anyone desires to do His will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it is of God, or I speak from Myself.

because all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
