I saw

Wisdom is as good as an inheritance; yea, more excellent is it for them that see the sun.

Then said I, Wisdom is better than strength: nevertheless the poor man's wisdom is despised, and his words are not heard.

Get wisdom, get understanding; Forget not, neither decline from the words of my mouth;

How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! Yea, to get understanding is rather to be chosen than silver.

Then shall ye return and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not.

For, behold, the day cometh, it burneth as a furnace; and all the proud, and all that work wickedness, shall be stubble; and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith Jehovah of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.

Light

Truly the light is sweet, and a pleasant thing it is for the eyes to behold the sun.

NUN. Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, And light unto my path.

But the path of the righteous is as the dawning light, That shineth more and more unto the perfect day.

But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is the darkness!

The lamp of thy body is thine eye: when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when it is evil, thy body also is full of darkness.

For ye were once darkness, but are now light in the Lord: walk as children of light
