A scoffer seeks wisdom and finds none,
But knowledge is easy to one who has understanding.

“They are all straightforward to him who understands,
And right to those who find knowledge.

Wisdom is in the presence of the one who has understanding,
But the eyes of a fool are on the ends of the earth.

Open my eyes, that I may behold
Wonderful things from Your law.

Your commandments make me wiser than my enemies,
For they are ever mine.

A fool does not delight in understanding,
But only in revealing his own mind.

Do you see a man wise in his own eyes?
There is more hope for a fool than for him.

To the law and to the testimony! If they do not speak according to this word, it is because they have no dawn.

“The wise men are put to shame,
They are dismayed and caught;
Behold, they have rejected the word of the Lord,
And what kind of wisdom do they have?

The eye is the lamp of the body; so then if your eye is clear, your whole body will be full of light.

At that time Jesus said, “I praise You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent and have revealed them to infants.

Jesus answered them, To you it has been granted to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been granted.

For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

but Israel, pursuing a law of righteousness, did not arrive at that law.

Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you thinks that he is wise in this age, he must become foolish, so that he may become wise.

If anyone supposes that he knows anything, he has not yet known as he ought to know;

But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him.

Know this first of all, that in the last days mockers will come with their mocking, following after their own lusts,
