I Chr. 22
22:11 Now, my son, the LORD be with thee; and prosper thou, and build
the house of the LORD thy God, as he hath said of thee.
22:12 Only the LORD give thee wisdom and understanding, and give
thee charge concerning Israel, that thou mayest keep the law of the
LORD thy God.
22:13 Then shalt thou prosper, if thou takest heed to fulfil the statutes
and judgments which the LORD charged Moses with concerning
Israel: be strong, and of good courage; dread not, nor be dismayed.
Prov 8
8:1 Doth not wisdom cry? and understanding put forth her voice?
8:2 She standeth in the top of high places, by the way in the places of
the paths.
8:3 She crieth at the gates, at the entry of the city, at the coming in at
the doors.
8:4 Unto you, O men, I call; and my voice is to the sons of man.
8:5 O ye simple, understand wisdom: and, ye fools, be ye of an
understanding heart.
8:6 Hear; for I will speak of excellent things; and the opening of my
lips shall be right things.
8:7 For my mouth shall speak truth; and wickedness is an abomination
to my lips.
8:8 All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; there is nothing
froward or perverse in them.
8:9 They are all plain to him that understandeth, and right to them that
find knowledge.
8:10 Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than
choice gold.
8:11 For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be
desired are not to be compared to it.
8:12 I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty
inventions.
8:13 The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the
evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.
8:14 Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have
strength.
8:15 By me kings reign, and princes decree justice.
8:16 By me princes rule, and nobles, even all the judges of the earth.
8:17 I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find
me.
8:18 Riches and honor are with me; yea, durable riches and
righteousness.
8:19 My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue
than choice silver.
8:20 I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of
judgment:
8:21 That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will
fill their treasures.
8:22 The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his
works of old.
8:23 I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth
was.
8:24 When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were
no fountains abounding with water.
8:25 Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought
forth:
8:26 While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the
highest part of the dust of the world.
8:27 When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass
upon the face of the depth:
8:28 When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the
fountains of the deep:
8:29 When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass
his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth:
8:30 Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his
delight, rejoicing always before him;
8:31 Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights were
with the sons of men.
8:32 Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: for blessed are they
that keep my ways.
8:33 Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not.
8:34 Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates,
waiting at the posts of my doors.
8:35 For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favor of the
LORD.
8:36 But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that
hate me love death.
Eph.1:17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: see Pr. 9
Pr.9:1 Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars:
Pr.9:2 She hath killed her beasts; she hath mingled her wine; she hath also furnished her table.
Pr.9:3 She hath sent forth her maidens: she crieth upon the highest places of the city,
Pr.9:4 Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,
Pr.9:5 Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled.
Pr.9:6 Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.
Pr.9:7 He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot.
Pr.9:8 Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.
Pr.9:9 Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.
Pr.9:10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.
Pr.9:11 For by me thy days shall be multiplied, and the years of thy life shall be increased.
Pr.9:12 If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself: but if thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear it.
Pr.9:13 A foolish woman is clamorous: she is simple, and knoweth nothing.
Pr.9:14 For she sitteth at the door of her house, on a seat in the high places of the city,
Pr.9:15 To call passengers who go right on their ways:
Pr.9:16 Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: and as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,
Pr.9:17 Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.
Pr.9:18 But he knoweth not that the dead are there; and that her guests are in the depths of hell.
