Proverbs 4:5

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth.

“How long, O

naive ones, will you love being simple-minded?

And scoffers delight themselves in scoffing
And fools hate knowledge?

Make your ear attentive to wisdom,

Incline your heart to understanding;

How blessed is the man who finds wisdom

And the man who gains understanding.

“O

naive ones, understand prudence;

And, O fools, understand wisdom.

Why is there a price in the hand of a fool to buy wisdom,
When he has no sense?

He who separates himself seeks his own desire,
He

quarrels against all sound wisdom.

He who gets wisdom loves his own soul;
He who keeps understanding will find good.

Buy truth, and do not sell it,

Get wisdom and instruction and understanding.

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.

He did right in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the ways of his father David and did not turn aside to the right or to the left.

“My foot has held fast to His path;
I have kept His way and not turned aside.

Our heart has not turned back,
And our steps have not deviated from Your way,

The arrogant utterly deride me,
Yet I do not turn aside from Your law.

To know wisdom and instruction,
To discern the sayings of understanding,

The

mind of the prudent acquires knowledge,

And the ear of the wise seeks knowledge.
