8 'I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go; I will give counsel, Mine eye being upon thee.'
8 O LORD, lead me in Thy righteousness because of them that lie in wait for me; make Thy way straight before my face.
11 Thou makest me to know the path of life; in Thy presence is fulness of joy, in Thy right hand bliss for evermore.
28 Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? His discernment is past searching out.
20 Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end.
9 They shall come with weeping, and with supplications will I lead them; I will cause them to walk by rivers of waters, in a straight way wherein they shall not stumble; for I am become a father to Israel, and Ephraim is My first-born.
35 For whoso findeth me findeth life, and obtaineth favour of the LORD.
12 Is wisdom with aged men, and understanding in length of days?--
13 With Him is wisdom and might; He hath counsel and understanding.
1 Then Job answered and said:
2 Of a truth I know that it is so; and how can man be just with God?
3 If one should desire to contend with Him, he could not answer Him one of a thousand.
4 He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength; who hath hardened himself against Him, and prospered?
33 The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour goeth humility.
19 The LORD by wisdom founded the earth; by understanding He established the heavens.
8 It hath been told thee, O man, what is good, and what the LORD doth require of thee: only to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God.
9 He guideth The humble in justice; and He teacheth the humble His way.
15 The way of a fool is straight in his own eyes; but he that is wise hearkeneth unto counsel.
8 For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways, saith the LORD.
30 The mouth of the righteous uttereth wisdom, and his tongue speaketh justice.
13 Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that obtaineth understanding.
11 And the LORD will guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make strong thy bones; and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.
10 Say not thou: 'How was it that the former days were better than these?' for it is not out of wisdom that thou inquirest concerning this.
1 Boast not thyself of to-morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.
18 Open Thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of Thy law.
12 So teach us to number our days, that we may get us a heart of wisdom.
3 Yea, if thou call for understanding, and lift up thy voice for discernment;
5 Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.
5 Evil men understand not justice; but they that seek the LORD understand all things.
2 When pride cometh, then cometh shame; but with the lowly is wisdom.
12 But wisdom, where shall it be found? And where is the place of understanding?
13 Man knoweth not the price thereof; neither is it found in the land of the living.
14 The deep saith: 'It is not in me'; and the sea saith: 'It is not with me.'
15 It cannot be gotten for gold, neither shall silver be weighed for the price thereof.
16 It cannot be valued with the gold of Ophir, with the precious onyx, or the sapphire.
17 Gold and glass cannot equal it; neither shall the exchange thereof be vessels of fine gold.
18 No mention shall be made of coral or of crystal; yea, the price of wisdom is above rubies.
19 The topaz of Ethiopia shall not equal it, neither shall it be valued with pure gold.
20 Whence then cometh wisdom? And where is the place of understanding?
21 Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living, and kept close from the fowls of the air.
22 Destruction and Death say: 'We have heard a rumor thereof with our ears.'
4 The Lord GOD hath given me the tongue of them that are taught, that I should know how to sustain with words him that is weary; He wakeneth morning by morning, He wakeneth mine ear to hear as they that are taught.
17 Now as for these four youths, God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom; and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams.
1 Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help, and rely on horses, and trust in chariots, because they are many, and in horsemen, because they are exceeding mighty; but they look not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither seek the LORD!
2 Yet He also is wise, and bringeth evil, and doth not call back His words; but will arise against the house of the evil-doers, and against the help of them that work iniquity.
5 That the wise man may hear, and increase in learning, and the man of understanding may attain unto wise counsels;
9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.
10 By pride cometh only contention; but with the well-advised is wisdom.
12 For wisdom is a defence, even as money is a defence; but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom preserveth the life of him that hath it.
6 For the LORD giveth wisdom, out of His mouth cometh knowledge and discernment;
28 Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise; and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed as a man of understanding.
10 Teach me to do Thy will, for Thou art my God; let Thy good spirit lead me in an even land.
11 For Thy name's sake, O LORD, quicken me; in Thy righteousness bring my soul out of trouble.
12 He that hath made the earth by His power, that hath established the world by His wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by His understanding;
23 It is of the LORD that a man's goings are established; and He delighted in his way.
26 For to the man that is good in His sight He giveth wisdom, and knowledge, and joy; but to the sinner He giveth the task, to gather and to heap up, that he may leave to him that is good in the sight of God. This also is vanity and a striving after wind.
105 NUN. Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
4 So shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and He shall give thee the petitions of thy heart.
23 I thank Thee, and praise Thee, O Thou God of my fathers, who hath given me wisdom and might, and hast now made known unto me what we desired of Thee; for Thou hast made known unto us the king's matter.
24 Thou wilt guide me with Thy counsel, and afterward receive me with glory.
16 And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not, in paths that they knew not will I lead them; I will make darkness light before them, and rugged places plain. These things will I do, and I will not leave them undone.
18 Every purpose is established by counsel; and with good advice carry on war.
6 and said to the judges: 'Consider what ye do; for ye judge not for man, but for the LORD; and He is with you in giving judgment.
11 Teach me Thy way, O LORD; and lead me in an even path, because of them that lie in wait for me.
5 Trust in the LORD with all thy heart, and lean not upon thine own understanding.
6 In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct thy paths.
20 Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end.
2 And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD.
3 And his delight shall be in the fear of the LORD; and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither decide after the hearing of his ears;
28 Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? His discernment is past searching out.
8 He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul; he that keepeth understanding shall find good.
105 NUN. Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
8 Cause me to hear Thy lovingkindness in the morning, for in Thee do I trust; cause me to know the way wherein I should walk, for unto Thee have I lifted up my soul.
3 He that guardeth his mouth keepeth his life; but for him that openeth wide his lips there shall be ruin.
1 The preparations of the heart are man's, but the answer of the tongue is from the LORD.
29 This also cometh forth from the LORD of hosts: Wonderful is His counsel, and great His wisdom.
16 How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! yea, to get understanding is rather to be chosen than silver.
23 O LORD, I know that man's way is not his own; it is not in man to direct his steps as he walketh.
8 The wise in heart will receive commandments; but a prating fool shall fall.
6 For the LORD giveth wisdom, out of His mouth cometh knowledge and discernment;
20 Daniel spoke and said: Blessed be the name of God from everlasting even unto everlasting; for wisdom and might are His;
24 How manifold are Thy works, O LORD! In wisdom hast Thou made them all; the earth is full of Thy creatures.
15 The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge; and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge.
4 Show me Thy ways, O LORD; teach me Thy paths.
5 Guide me in Thy truth, and teach me; for Thou art the God of my salvation; for Thee do I wait all the day.
130 The opening of Thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.
7 Be not wise in thine own eyes; fear the LORD, and depart from evil;
10 Whatsoever thy hand attaineth to do by thy strength, that do; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.
6 For with wise advice thou shalt make thy war; and in the multitude of counsellors there is safety.
2 A fool hath no delight in understanding, but only that his heart may lay itself bare.
5 Great is our Lord, and mighty in power; His understanding is infinite.
29 He that is slow to anger is of great understanding; but he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly.
22 When thou walkest, it shall lead thee, when thou liest down, it shall watch over thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.
9 A man's heart deviseth his way; but the LORD directeth his steps.
7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge; but the foolish despise wisdom and discipline.
1 BOOK I HAPPY IS the man that hath not walked in the counsel of the wicked, nor stood in the way of sinners, nor sat in the seat of the scornful.
2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in His law doth he meditate day and night.
