The wisdom of the prudent, is to understand his way, but, the folly of dullards, is a fraud.

The beginning of wisdom, is the reverence of Yahweh, Good discretion, have all that do them, His praise, endureth for aye.

Oh would that my ways might be settled! that I might keep thy statutes.

Give me understanding, that I may observe thy law, that I may keep it with a whole heart.

[YODH] Thine own hands, have made me, and formed me. Give me understanding, that I may learn thy commandments.

Then, shalt thou understand righteousness and justice, and equity - every noble course.

In the way of righteousness, I march along, in the middle of the paths of justice:

The lawless man, earneth the wages of falsehood, but, he that soweth righteousness, hath the reward of fidelity.

Lift up your eyes and see Them who are coming in from the North, - Where is The flock that was given thee, Thy beautiful flock?

and will say to my soul - Soul! thou hast many good things lying by for many years: be taking thy rest, eat, drink,be making merry!

That ye were to strip off - as regardeth the former behaviour - the old man, who corrupteth himself according to his deceitful covetings,

For this cause, do not become foolish, but have discernment as to what is the will of the Lord;

For this cause, we also, from the day when we heard of you , cease not, in your behalf, praying and asking - that ye may be filled unto the personal knowledge of his will, in all spiritual wisdom and discernment,

Whereas, wicked men and howling impostors, will force their way to the worse, deceiving and being deceived.

And that, from a babe, those sacred letters, thou hast known which are able to make thee wise unto salvation, through the faith which is in Christ Jesus:

Who is wise and well-instructed-among you? Let him show, out of his comely behaviour, his works, in meekness of wisdom.
