“Where then does wisdom come from? And where is the place of understanding?
“But where shall wisdom be found? And where is the place of understanding?
It is hidden from the eyes of all living and concealed from the birds of the air.
“God understands the way to it, and he knows its place.
And he said to humankind, ‘Truly, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.’ ”
For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding;
Every generous act of giving, with every perfect gift, is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.
If any of you is lacking in wisdom, ask God, who gives to all generously and ungrudgingly, and it will be given you.
