  • Proverbs 1:1-7
    The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel:
    To know wisdom and instruction,
    To perceive the words of understanding,
    To receive the instruction of wisdom,
    Justice, judgment, and equity;
    To give prudence to the simple,
    To the young man knowledge and discretion—
    A wise man will hear and increase learning,
    And a man of understanding will attain wise counsel,
    To understand a proverb and an enigma,
    The words of the wise and their riddles.
    The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge,
    But fools despise wisdom and instruction.
     
  • Proverbs 4:7
    Wisdom is the principal thing;
    Therefore get wisdom.
    And in all your getting, get understanding.

     
  • Proverbs 8:1-11
    Does not wisdom cry out,
    And understanding lift up her voice?
    She takes her stand on the top of the high hill,
    Beside the way, where the paths meet.
    She cries out by the gates, at the entry of the city,
    At the entrance of the doors:
    " To you, O men, I call,
    And my voice is to the sons of men.
    O you simple ones, understand prudence,
    And you fools, be of an understanding heart.
    Listen, for I will speak of excellent things,
    And from the opening of my lips will come right things;
    For my mouth will speak truth;
    Wickedness is an abomination to my lips.
    All the words of my mouth are with righteousness;
    Nothing crooked or perverse is in them.
    They are all plain to him who understands,
    And right to those who find knowledge.
    Receive my instruction, and not silver,
    And knowledge rather than choice gold;
    For wisdom is better than rubies,
    And all the things one may desire cannot be compared with her.

     
  • James 3:17-18
    But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy. Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.
     
  • Psalm 90:12

  • Proverbs 2:1-5
    My son, if you receive my words,
    And treasure my commands within you,
    So that you incline your ear to wisdom,
    And apply your heart to understanding;
    Yes, if you cry out for discernment,
    And lift up your voice for understanding,
    If you seek her as silver,
    And search for her as for hidden treasures;
    Then you will understand the fear of the LORD,
    And find the knowledge of God.

     
  • Proverbs 3:13-15
    Happy is the man who finds wisdom,
    And the man who gains understanding;
    For her proceeds are better than the profits of silver,
    And her gain than fine gold.
    She is more precious than rubies,
    And all the things you may desire cannot compare with her.

     
  • Proverbs 7:1-5
    My son, keep my words,
    And treasure my commands within you.
    Keep my commands and live,
    And my law as the apple of your eye.
    Bind them on your fingers;
    Write them on the tablet of your heart.
    Say to wisdom, “You are my sister,”
    And call understanding your nearest kin,
    That they may keep you from the immoral woman,
    From the seductress who flatters with her words.
     
  • Proverbs 9:10
    " The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom,

    And the perverse mouth I hate.

    I love those who love me,
    And those who seek me diligently will find me.
    Riches and honor are with me,

    All those who hate me love death.”

    And he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city.

     
  • Ecclesiastes 7:8-9
    The end of a thing is better than its beginning;
    The patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.
    Do not hasten in your spirit to be angry,
    For anger rests in the bosom of fools.

     
  • Ecclesiastes 7:11-12
    Wisdom is good with an inheritance,
    And profitable to those who see the sun.
    For wisdom is a defense as money is a defense,
    But the excellence of knowledge is that wisdom gives life to those who have it.

     
  • Ecclesiastes 7:19
    Wisdom strengthens the wise
    More than ten rulers of the city.

     
  • Ecclesiastes 7:21-22
    Also do not take to heart everything people say,
    Lest you hear your servant cursing you.
    For many times, also, your own heart has known
    That even you have cursed others.

     
  • Ecclesiastes 7:26
    And I find more bitter than death
    The woman whose heart is snares and nets,
    Whose hands are fetters.
    He who pleases God shall escape from her,
    But the sinner shall be trapped by her.
