How much better to get wisdom than gold, to choose understanding rather than silver!

Wisdom belongs to the aged, and understanding to the old.

Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom, and to depart from evil is understanding.

The godly offer good counsel; they teach right from wrong.

Whoever is wise, let him heed these things and consider the great love of the LORD.

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; all who follow his precepts have good understanding. To him belongs eternal praise.

Fear of the Lord is the foundation of true knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline.

Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD and shun evil.

Do not forsake wisdom, and she will protect you; love her, and she will watch over you. Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding.

Wisdom is found on the lips of him who has understanding, but a rod is for the back of him who is devoid of understanding

When words are many, sin is not absent, but he who holds his tongue is wise.

When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom.

The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, and he who wins souls is wise.

Know also that wisdom is sweet to your soul; if you find it, there is a future hope for you, and your hope will not be cut off.

To the man who pleases him, God gives wisdom, knowledge and happiness, but to the sinner he gives the task of gathering and storing up wealth to hand it over to the one who pleases God.

But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere.
