Proverbs 17:24

Tree of Life Version

Wisdom is before the person of understanding, but the eyes of a fool are on the ends of the earth.

See the chapter Copy

A wise man has his eyes in his head, while the fool walks in the darkness. Yet, I also came to realize that the same destiny befalls them both.

Who is like the wise person? Who knows the meaning of a matter? A person’s wisdom makes his face shine, transforming the harshness of his face.

For everything in the world—the desire of the flesh, the desire of the eyes, and the boasting of life—is not from the Father but from the world.

Better is what the eyes see than the pursuit of the soul’s desires. This too is fleeting and striving after wind.

A scoffer seeks wisdom yet finds none, but knowledge is easy to the discerning.

If anyone wants to do His will, he will know whether My teaching comes from God or it is Myself speaking.

When you cast your eyes 0n riches, it is gone; for it surely sprouts wings and flies off into the sky like an eagle.

A discerning heart seeks knowledge, but the mouth of fools feeds on folly.

Turn my eyes away from gazing at vanity but revive me in Your ways.

A foolish son is grief to his father and bitterness to her that bore him.
