Wisdom and strength belong to God;
counsel and understanding are His.

God is wise and all-powerful.
Who has opposed Him and come out unharmed?

Yes, God is mighty, but He despises no one;
He understands all things.

He would show you the secrets of wisdom,
for true wisdom has two sides.
Know then that God has chosen to overlook some of your sin.

True wisdom and power belong to Him.
The deceived and the deceiver are His.

Where then does wisdom come from,
and where is understanding located?

So Elihu son of Barachel the Buzite replied:

I am young in years,
while you are old;
therefore I was timid and afraid
to tell you what I know.

Who put wisdom in the heart
or gave the mind understanding?

Our Lord is great, vast in power;
His understanding is infinite.

For the Lord gives wisdom;
from His mouth come knowledge and understanding.

I possess good advice and competence;
I have understanding and strength.

Who has directed the Spirit of the Lord,
or who gave Him His counsel?

I declare the end from the beginning,
and from long ago what is not yet done,
saying: My plan will take place,
and I will do all My will.

He made the earth by His power,
established the world by His wisdom,
and spread out the heavens by His understanding.

and declared:

May the name of God
be praised forever and ever,
for wisdom and power belong to Him.

for I will give you such words and a wisdom that none of your adversaries will be able to resist or contradict.

For who has known the mind of the Lord?
Or who has been His counselor?

Yet to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is God’s power and God’s wisdom,

that He lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding.

We have also received an inheritance in Him, predestined according to the purpose of the One who works out everything in agreement with the decision of His will,

All the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden in Him.

Now if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives to all generously and without criticizing, and it will be given to him.
