I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts.
With the ancient is wisdom; and in length of days understanding.
And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of Yahweh, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.
Now Elihu had waited till Job had spoken, because they were elder than he.
The fear of Yahweh is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.
Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law; yea, I shall observe it with my whole heart.
Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him show out of a good manner of life his works with meekness of wisdom.
