Whence then cometh wisdom? and where is the place of understanding?

And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.

Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and bad: for who is able to judge this thy so great a people?

Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.

If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures;

For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.

The LORD by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath he established the heavens.

All this have I proved by wisdom: I said, I will be wise; but it was far from me.

I applied mine heart to know, and to search, and to seek out wisdom, and the reason of things, and to know the wickedness of folly, even of foolishness and madness:

For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.

Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?

In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
