I have counsel and sound knowledge, I have understanding, and I have might and power.  By me kings reign, and rulers decree justice.  By me princes rule, and nobles, even all the judges and governors of the earth.

I love those who love me, and those who seek me early and diligently shall find me.

But where shall wisdom be found?  And where is the place of understanding?

Man knows not the price of it, neither is it fund In the land of the living.  The deep says, “Wisdom is not in me,” and the sea says, “it is not with me.”

God understands the way to wisdom and he knows the place of it, wisdom is with God alone.

For he looks to the ends of the earth, and sees everything under the heavens.

But to man he said, “Behold the reverential fear of the Lord, that is wisdom, and to depart from evil is understanding.”

There is no wisdom or understanding or counsel that can prevail against the Lord.

Skillful and godly wisdom is more precious than rubies, and nothing you can wish for is to be compared to her. 

The beginning of wisdom is get wisdom – skillful and godly wisdom!  For skillful and godly wisdom is the principal thing.  And with all you have gotten, get understanding – discernment, comprehension and interpretation.

Prize wisdom highly and exalt hr, and she will exalt and promote you.  She will bring you to honor when you embrace her.

She shall give to your head a wreath of gracefulness, a crown of beauty and glory will she deliver to you!

Say to skillful and godly wisdom, you are my sister, regard understanding or insight as your intimate friend.

For whoever finds wisdom, finds life, and shall draw forth and obtain favor of the Lord.

Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser; teach a righteous man – one upright and in right standing with God – and he will increase in learning.

A man shall be commended according to his wisdom.  He who walks as a companion with wise men shall be wise.

He who gains wisdom love his own life; he who keeps understanding shall prosper and find good. 

Men of wisdom and good sense and learn by being instructed.  Hear my daughter and be wise and direct your mind in the way of the Lord. 

The words of a wise man’s mouth are gracious and win him favor.  But there is found in it a poor wise man, and he by his wisdom delivered the city.  Yet no man seriously remembered that poor man.

But I say that wisdom is better than might, though the poor man’s wisdom is despised and his words are not heeded.

The words of wise men heard in quiet are better than the shouts of him who rules among fools.  Wisdom is better than weapons of war.

But rather, what we are setting forth is a wisdom of God once hidden and now revealed to us by God.

If any of you is deficient in wisdom, let him ask of the giving God, who gives to everyone liberally and ungrudgingly, without reproaching or faultfinding, and it will be given to him.

That people may know skill and godly wisdom and instruction and discern and comprehend the words of understanding and insight.

Wisdom cries aloud in the street, she raises her voice in the markets.

She cries at the head of the noisy intersections, in the chief gathering places, at the entrance of the city gates she speaks.  I, wisdom, will pour out my spirit upon you, I will make my words known to you.

But whoso hearkens to me, wisdom, shall dwell securely and in confident trust, and shall be quiet without fear or dread of evil.

My daughter if you will receive my words and treasure up my commandments with you, making your ear attentive to skillful and godly wisdom and inclining and directing your hear and mind to understanding applying all your powers to the quest for it.

Yes, if you cry out for insight and raise your voice for understanding.  If you seek wisdom as silver, and search for skillful and godly wisdom as for hid treasures; then you will understand the reverent and worshipful fear of the Lord, and find the knowledge of our Omniscient God.

For the Lord gives skillful and godly wisdom; from his mouth comes knowledge and understanding.

He hides away sound and godly wisdom and stores it up for the righteous…he is a shield to those who walk uprightly and in integrity.

That he may guard the paths of justice.  Yet, he preserves the way of his saints.

Then you will understand righteousness, justice and fair dealing in every area and relation; yes, you will understand every good path.

For skillful and godly wisdom shall enter into your heart, and knowledge shall be pleasant to you.

Discretion shall watch over you, and understanding shall keep you.  To deliver you from the alien woman, from the outsider with her flattering words.

Happy, blessed, fortunate, enviable is the man who finds skillful and godly wisdom, and the man who gets understanding drawing it forth from God’s Word and life’s experiences.

For the gaining of it is better than the gaining of silver, and the profit of it than fine gold.

Length of days is in her right hand and in her left hand are riches and honor.

Her ways are highways of pleasantness and all of her paths are peace.  She is a tree of life to those who lay hold on her.  The Lord, by skillful and godly wisdom haws founded the earth.

My daughter, let them not escape from your sight, but keep sound wisdom and discretion.

And, they will be life to your inner self, and a gracious ornament to your neck, your outer self.
