"WISDOM"

Psalms 1:7
"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline. "

Proverbs 1.   Exhortations to Embrace Wisdom
"⁸ Listen, my son, to your father's instruction
and do not forsake your mother's teaching.
⁹ They will be a garland to grace your head
and a chain to adorn your neck.

¹⁰ My son, if sinners entice you,
do not give in to them.
¹¹ If they say, "Come along with us;
let's lie in wait for someone's blood,
let's waylay some harmless soul;
¹² let's swallow them alive, like the grave, ^[2]
and whole, like those who go down to the pit;
¹³ we will get all sorts of valuable things
and fill our houses with plunder;
¹⁴ throw in your lot with us,
and we will share a common purse"-
¹⁵ my son, do not go along with them,
do not set foot on their paths;
¹⁶ for their feet rush into sin,
they are swift to shed blood.
¹⁷ How useless to spread a net
in full view of all the birds!
¹⁸ These men lie in wait for their own blood;
they waylay only themselves!
¹⁹ Such is the end of all who go after ill-gotten gain;
it takes away the lives of those who get it.
²⁹ Since they hated knowledge
and did not choose to fear the LORD ,
³⁰ since they would not accept my advice
and spurned my rebuke,
³¹ they will eat the fruit of their ways
and be filled with the fruit of their schemes.
³² For the waywardness of the simple will kill them,
and the complacency of fools will destroy them;
³³ but whoever listens to me will live in safety
and be at ease, without fear of harm. "

Proverbs 2.  Moral Benefits of Wisdom
"¹ My son, if you accept my words
and store up my commands within you,
² turning your ear to wisdom
and applying your heart to understanding,
³ and if you call out for insight
and cry aloud for understanding,
⁴ and if you look for it as for silver
and search for it as for hidden treasure,
⁵ then you will understand the fear of the LORD
and find the knowledge of God.
⁶ For the LORD gives wisdom,
and from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.
⁷ He holds victory in store for the upright,
he is a shield to those whose walk is blameless,
⁸ for he guards the course of the just
and protects the way of his faithful ones.
⁹ Then you will understand what is right and just
and fair-every good path.
¹⁰ For wisdom will enter your heart,
and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul.
¹¹ Discretion will protect you,
and understanding will guard you.

¹² Wisdom will save you from the ways of wicked men,
from men whose words are perverse,
¹³ who leave the straight paths
to walk in dark ways,
¹⁴ who delight in doing wrong
and rejoice in the perverseness of evil,
¹⁵ whose paths are crooked
and who are devious in their ways.

¹⁶ It will save you also from the adulteress,
from the wayward wife with her seductive words,
¹⁷ who has left the partner of her youth
and ignored the covenant she made before God. ^[1]
18 For her house leads down to death
and her paths to the spirits of the dead.
¹⁹ None who go to her return
or attain the paths of life.

²⁰ Thus you will walk in the ways of good men
and keep to the paths of the righteous.
²¹ For the upright will live in the land,
and the blameless will remain in it;
²² but the wicked will be cut off from the land,
and the unfaithful will be torn from it. "

Proverbs 3.   Further Benefits of Wisdom
"¹ My son, do not forget my teaching,
but keep my commands in your heart,
² for they will prolong your life many years
and bring you prosperity.

³ Let love and faithfulness never leave you;
bind them around your neck,
write them on the tablet of your heart.
⁴ Then you will win favor and a good name
in the sight of God and man.

⁵ Trust in the LORD with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
⁶ in all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make your paths straight. <sup>[1]

7</sup> Do not be wise in your own eyes;
fear the LORD and shun evil.
⁸ This will bring health to your body
and nourishment to your bones.

⁹ Honor the LORD with your wealth,
with the firstfruits of all your crops;
¹⁰ then your barns will be filled to overflowing,
and your vats will brim over with new wine.

¹¹ My son, do not despise the LORD's discipline
and do not resent his rebuke,
¹² because the LORD disciplines those he loves,
as a father ^[2] the son he delights in.

¹³ Blessed is the man who finds wisdom,
the man who gains understanding,
¹⁴ for she is more profitable than silver
and yields better returns than gold.
¹⁵ She is more precious than rubies;
nothing you desire can compare with her.
¹⁶ Long life is in her right hand;
in her left hand are riches and honor.
¹⁷ Her ways are pleasant ways,
and all her paths are peace.
¹⁸ She is a tree of life to those who embrace her;
those who lay hold of her will be blessed.

¹⁹ By wisdom the LORD laid the earth's foundations,
by understanding he set the heavens in place;
²⁰ by his knowledge the deeps were divided,
and the clouds let drop the dew.

²¹ My son, preserve sound judgment and discernment,
do not let them out of your sight;
²² they will be life for you,
an ornament to grace your neck.
²³ Then you will go on your way in safety,
and your foot will not stumble;
²⁴ when you lie down, you will not be afraid;
when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet.
²⁵ Have no fear of sudden disaster
or of the ruin that overtakes the wicked,
²⁶ for the LORD will be your confidence
and will keep your foot from being snared.

²⁷ Do not withhold good from those who deserve it,
when it is in your power to act.
²⁸ Do not say to your neighbor,
"Come back later; I'll give it tomorrow"-
when you now have it with you.

²⁹ Do not plot harm against your neighbor,
who lives trustfully near you.
³⁰ Do not accuse a man for no reason-
when he has done you no harm.

³¹ Do not envy a violent man
or choose any of his ways,
³² for the LORD detests a perverse man
but takes the upright into his confidence.

³³ The LORD's curse is on the house of the wicked,
but he blesses the home of the righteous.
³⁴ He mocks proud mockers
but gives grace to the humble.
³⁵ The wise inherit honor,
but fools he holds up to shame. "

Proverbs 4.   Wisdom Is Supreme
"¹ Listen, my sons, to a father's instruction;
pay attention and gain understanding.
² I give you sound learning,
so do not forsake my teaching.
³ When I was a boy in my father's house,
still tender, and an only child of my mother,
⁴ he taught me and said,
"Lay hold of my words with all your heart;
keep my commands and you will live.
⁵ Get wisdom, get understanding;
do not forget my words or swerve from them.
⁶ Do not forsake wisdom, and she will protect you;
love her, and she will watch over you.
⁷ Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom.
Though it cost all you have, ^[1] get understanding.
⁸ Esteem her, and she will exalt you;
embrace her, and she will honor you.
⁹ She will set a garland of grace on your head
and present you with a crown of splendor."

¹⁰ Listen, my son, accept what I say,
and the years of your life will be many.
¹¹ I guide you in the way of wisdom
and lead you along straight paths.
¹² When you walk, your steps will not be hampered;
when you run, you will not stumble.
¹³ Hold on to instruction, do not let it go;
guard it well, for it is your life.
¹⁴ Do not set foot on the path of the wicked
or walk in the way of evil men.
¹⁵ Avoid it, do not travel on it;
turn from it and go on your way.
¹⁶ For they cannot sleep till they do evil;
they are robbed of slumber till they make someone fall.
¹⁷ They eat the bread of wickedness
and drink the wine of violence.

¹⁸ The path of the righteous is like the first gleam of dawn,
shining ever brighter till the full light of day.
¹⁹ But the way of the wicked is like deep darkness;
they do not know what makes them stumble.

²⁰ My son, pay attention to what I say;
listen closely to my words.
²¹ Do not let them out of your sight,
keep them within your heart;
²² for they are life to those who find them
and health to a man's whole body.
²³ Above all else, guard your heart,
for it is the wellspring of life.
²⁴ Put away perversity from your mouth;
keep corrupt talk far from your lips.
²⁵ Let your eyes look straight ahead,
fix your gaze directly before you.
²⁶ Make level ^[2] paths for your feet
and take only ways that are firm.
²⁷ Do not swerve to the right or the left;
keep your foot from evil. "

Proverbs 5 .  Warning Against Adultery
"¹ My son, pay attention to my wisdom,
listen well to my words of insight,
² that you may maintain discretion
and your lips may preserve knowledge.
³ For the lips of an adulteress drip honey,
and her speech is smoother than oil;
⁴ but in the end she is bitter as gall,
sharp as a double-edged sword.
⁵ Her feet go down to death;
her steps lead straight to the grave. ^[1]
6 She gives no thought to the way of life;
her paths are crooked, but she knows it not.

⁷ Now then, my sons, listen to me;
do not turn aside from what I say.
⁸ Keep to a path far from her,
do not go near the door of her house,
⁹ lest you give your best strength to others
and your years to one who is cruel,
¹⁰ lest strangers feast on your wealth
and your toil enrich another man's house.
¹¹ At the end of your life you will groan,
when your flesh and body are spent.
¹² You will say, "How I hated discipline!
How my heart spurned correction!
¹³ I would not obey my teachers
or listen to my instructors.
¹⁴ I have come to the brink of utter ruin
in the midst of the whole assembly."

¹⁵ Drink water from your own cistern,
running water from your own well.
¹⁶ Should your springs overflow in the streets,
your streams of water in the public squares?
¹⁷ Let them be yours alone,
never to be shared with strangers.
¹⁸ May your fountain be blessed,
and may you rejoice in the wife of your youth.
¹⁹ A loving doe, a graceful deer-
may her breasts satisfy you always,
may you ever be captivated by her love.
²⁰ Why be captivated, my son, by an adulteress?
Why embrace the bosom of another man's wife?

²¹ For a man's ways are in full view of the LORD ,
and he examines all his paths.
²² The evil deeds of a wicked man ensnare him;
the cords of his sin hold him fast.
²³ He will die for lack of discipline,
led astray by his own great folly. "

Proverbs 6.   Warnings Against Folly
"¹ My son, if you have put up security for your neighbor,
if you have struck hands in pledge for another,
² if you have been trapped by what you said,
ensnared by the words of your mouth,
³ then do this, my son, to free yourself,
since you have fallen into your neighbor's hands:
Go and humble yourself;
press your plea with your neighbor!
⁴ Allow no sleep to your eyes,
no slumber to your eyelids.
⁵ Free yourself, like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter,
like a bird from the snare of the fowler.

⁶ Go to the ant, you sluggard;
consider its ways and be wise!
⁷ It has no commander,
no overseer or ruler,
⁸ yet it stores its provisions in summer
and gathers its food at harvest.

⁹ How long will you lie there, you sluggard?
When will you get up from your sleep?
¹⁰ A little sleep, a little slumber,
a little folding of the hands to rest-
¹¹ and poverty will come on you like a bandit
and scarcity like an armed man. <sup>[1]

12</sup> A scoundrel and villain,
who goes about with a corrupt mouth,
¹³ who winks with his eye,
signals with his feet
and motions with his fingers,
¹⁴ who plots evil with deceit in his heart-
he always stirs up dissension.
¹⁵ Therefore disaster will overtake him in an instant;
he will suddenly be destroyed-without remedy.

¹⁶ There are six things the LORD hates,
seven that are detestable to him:
¹⁷ haughty eyes,
a lying tongue,
hands that shed innocent blood,
¹⁸ a heart that devises wicked schemes,
feet that are quick to rush into evil,
¹⁹ a false witness who pours out lies
and a man who stirs up dissension among brothers.

Warning Against Adultery
²⁰ My son, keep your father's commands
and do not forsake your mother's teaching.
²¹ Bind them upon your heart forever;
fasten them around your neck.
²² When you walk, they will guide you;
when you sleep, they will watch over you;
when you awake, they will speak to you.
²³ For these commands are a lamp,
this teaching is a light,
and the corrections of discipline
are the way to life,
²⁴ keeping you from the immoral woman,
from the smooth tongue of the wayward wife.
²⁵ Do not lust in your heart after her beauty
or let her captivate you with her eyes,
²⁶ for the prostitute reduces you to a loaf of bread,
and the adulteress preys upon your very life.
²⁷ Can a man scoop fire into his lap
without his clothes being burned?
²⁸ Can a man walk on hot coals
without his feet being scorched?
²⁹ So is he who sleeps with another man's wife;
no one who touches her will go unpunished.
³⁰ Men do not despise a thief if he steals
to satisfy his hunger when he is starving.
³¹ Yet if he is caught, he must pay sevenfold,
though it costs him all the wealth of his house.
³² But a man who commits adultery lacks judgment;
whoever does so destroys himself.
³³ Blows and disgrace are his lot,
and his shame will never be wiped away;
³⁴ for jealousy arouses a husband's fury,
and he will show no mercy when he takes revenge.
³⁵ He will not accept any compensation;
he will refuse the bribe, however great it is. "

Proverbs 7
"¹ My son, keep my words
and store up my commands within you.
² Keep my commands and you will live;
guard my teachings as the apple of your eye.
³ Bind them on your fingers;
write them on the tablet of your heart.
⁴ Say to wisdom, "You are my sister,"
and call understanding your kinsman;
Choose my instruction instead of silver,
knowledge rather than choice gold,
¹¹ for wisdom is more precious than rubies,
and nothing you desire can compare with her.
¹² "I, wisdom, dwell together with prudence;
I possess knowledge and discretion.
¹³ To fear the LORD is to hate evil;
I hate pride and arrogance,
evil behavior and perverse speech.
¹⁴ Counsel and sound judgment are mine;
I have understanding and power.
¹⁵ By me kings reign
and rulers make laws that are just;
¹⁶ by me princes govern,
and all nobles who rule on earth.
¹⁷ I love those who love me,
and those who seek me find me.
¹⁸ With me are riches and honor,
enduring wealth and prosperity.
¹⁹ My fruit is better than fine gold;
what I yield surpasses choice silver.
²⁰ I walk in the way of righteousness,
along the paths of justice,
²¹ bestowing wealth on those who love me
and making their treasuries full. "

Proverbs 8. Wisdom's Call
"⁴ "To you, O men, I call out;
I raise my voice to all mankind.
⁵ You who are simple, gain prudence;
you who are foolish, gain understanding.
⁶ Listen, for I have worthy things to say;
I open my lips to speak what is right.
⁷ My mouth speaks what is true,
for my lips detest wickedness.
⁸ All the words of my mouth are just;
none of them is crooked or perverse.
⁹ To the discerning all of them are right;
they are faultless to those who have knowledge.
¹⁰ Choose my instruction instead of silver,
knowledge rather than choice gold,
¹¹ for wisdom is more precious than rubies,
and nothing you desire can compare with her.
¹² "I, wisdom, dwell together with prudence;
I possess knowledge and discretion.
¹³ To fear the LORD is to hate evil;
I hate pride and arrogance,
evil behavior and perverse speech.
¹⁴ Counsel and sound judgment are mine;
I have understanding and power.
¹⁵ By me kings reign
and rulers make laws that are just;
¹⁶ by me princes govern,
and all nobles who rule on earth. ^[1]
17 I love those who love me,
and those who seek me find me.
¹⁸ With me are riches and honor,
enduring wealth and prosperity.
¹⁹ My fruit is better than fine gold;
what I yield surpasses choice silver.
²⁰ I walk in the way of righteousness,
along the paths of justice,
²¹ bestowing wealth on those who love me
and making their treasuries full.
³² "Now then, my sons, listen to me;
blessed are those who keep my ways.
³³ Listen to my instruction and be wise;
do not ignore it.
³⁴ Blessed is the man who listens to me,
watching daily at my doors,
waiting at my doorway.
³⁵ For whoever finds me finds life
and receives favor from the LORD .
³⁶ But whoever fails to find me harms himself;
all who hate me love death. "
