Get wisdom, get understanding. Forsake her not and she shall
preserve thee. Love her and she shall keep thee. Wisdom is
the principal thing. Therefore get wisdom. And with all thy
getting get understanding. Exalt her and she shall promote
thee. She shall bring you to honor when thou dost embrace her.
(Prov 4:5-8)
Happy is the man that findeth wisdom and the man that getteth
understanding. For the merchandise of it is better than the
merchandise of silver and the gain thereof than fine gold. She
is more precious than rubies. And all the things thou canst
desire are not to be compared unto her. Length of days is in
her right hand. And in her left hand riches and honour. Her
ways are ways of pleasantness and all her paths are peace. She
is a tree of life to them that lay hold on her. And happy is
every one that retaineth her. (Prov 3:13-18)
Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom. And to depart
from evil is understanding. (Job 28:28)
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. And the
knowledge of the holy is understanding. (Prov 9:10)
Forsake the foolish and live. And go in the way of
understanding. (Prov 9:6)
