Proverbs 17:24

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

Wisdom is before him that hath understanding; but the eyes of a fool are in the ends of the earth.

A scoffer seeks wisdom, and doesn't find it, but knowledge comes easily to a discerning person.

The heart of one who has understanding seeks knowledge, but the mouths of fools feed on folly.

The wise man's eyes are in his head, and the fool walks in darkness -- and yet I perceived that one event happens to them all.

Who is like the wise man? And who knows the interpretation of a thing? A man's wisdom makes his face shine, and the hardness of his face is changed.

If anyone desires to do his will, he will know about the teaching, whether it is from God, or if I am speaking from myself.

Why do you set your eyes on that which is not? For it certainly sprouts wings like an eagle and flies in the sky.

Turn my eyes away from looking at worthless things. Revive me in your ways.

Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the desire. This also is vanity and a chasing after wind.

For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, isn't the Father's, but is the world's.

They are all plain to him who understands, right to those who find knowledge.
