For the Lord giveth wisdom: out of His mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.

To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity;

Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised.

Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? Who hath gathered the wind in his fists? Who hath bound the waters in a garment? Who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son’s name, if thou canst tell?

Whoso loveth wisdom rejoiceth his father: but he that keepeth company with harlots spendeth his substance.

He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.

Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth; a stranger, and not thine own lips.

As snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, so honour is not seemly for a fool.

Go not forth hastily to strive, lest thou know not what to do in the end thereof, when thy neighbour hath put thee to shame.

A wise man is strong; yea, a man of knowledge increaseth strength.
