  • Proverbs 1:2-7
    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.
     
  • James 1:4-5
    But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.
     
  • James 3:17
    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.
     
  • Psalm 90:12
    So teach us to number our days,
    That we may gain a heart of wisdom.
     
  • 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.

     
  • Proverbs 8:36
    But he who sins against me wrongs his own soul;
    All those who hate me love death.”
     
  • Proverbs 14:29
    He who is slow to wrath has great understanding,
    But he who is impulsive exalts folly.

     
  • Proverbs 16:32
    He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty,
    And he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city.

     
  • Ecclesiastes 7:8
    The end of a thing is better than its beginning;
    The patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.

     
  • 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.

     
  • James 3:15
    This wisdom does not descend from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic.
