I saw

Wisdom, like an inheritance, is a good thing; it benefits those who see the light of day.

So I concluded that wisdom is better than might, but a poor man's wisdom is despised; no one ever listens to his advice.

Acquire wisdom, acquire understanding; do not forget and do not turn aside from the words I speak.

How much better it is to acquire wisdom than gold; to acquire understanding is more desirable than silver.

Then once more you will see that I make a distinction between the righteous and the wicked, between the one who serves God and the one who does not.

"For indeed the day is coming, burning like a furnace, and all the arrogant evildoers will be chaff. The coming day will burn them up," says the Lord who rules over all. "It will not leave even a root or branch.

Light

Light is sweet, and it is pleasant for a person to see the sun.

(Nun) Your word is a lamp to walk by, and a light to illumine my path.

But the path of the righteous is like the bright morning light, growing brighter and brighter until full day.

But if your eye is diseased, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!

Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eye is healthy, your whole body is full of light, but when it is diseased, your body is full of darkness.

for you were at one time darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of the light --
