Proverbs 4:5

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

He did what the Lord approved and followed in his ancestor David's footsteps; he did not deviate to the right or the left.

My feet have followed his steps closely; I have kept to his way and have not turned aside.

We have not been unfaithful, nor have we disobeyed your commands.

Arrogant people do nothing but scoff at me. Yet I do not turn aside from your law.

The enemies who chase me are numerous. Yet I do not turn aside from your rules.

"How long will you simpletons love naivet?? How long will mockers delight in mockery and fools hate knowledge?

by making your ear attentive to wisdom, and by turning your heart to understanding,

Blessed is the one who finds wisdom, and the one who obtains understanding.

You who are naive, discern wisdom! And you fools, understand discernment!

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

Of what use is money in the hand of a fool, since he has no intention of acquiring wisdom?

One who has isolated himself seeks his own desires; he rejects all sound judgment.

The one who acquires wisdom loves himself; the one who preserves understanding will prosper.

Acquire truth and do not sell it -- wisdom, and discipline, and understanding.

But if anyone is deficient in wisdom, he should ask God, who gives to all generously and without reprimand, and it will be given to him.
