Proverbs 4:5

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

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

"You naive ones, how long will you love naivety And how long will scoffers delight in scoffing or fools hate knowledge?"

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

How joyful is the man who finds wisdom, and the man who gains understanding,

Understand prudence, you naive people; and gain an understanding heart, you foolish ones.

What is this? A fool has enough money to buy wisdom, but is senseless?

Whoever isolates himself pursues selfish ends; he resists all sound advice.

Whoever obtains wisdom loves himself, and whoever treasures understanding will prosper.

Purchase truth, but don't sell it; store up wisdom, instruction, and understanding.

Now if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives to everyone generously without a rebuke, and it will be given to him.

He practiced what the LORD considered to be right, following the example of his ancestor David, turning neither to the right nor to the left.

My feet stay where his footsteps lead; I kept on his pathway and haven't turned aside.

Our hearts have not turned away; our steps have not swerved from your path.

Even though the arrogant utterly deride me, I do not turn away from your instruction.

These proverbs are for gaining wisdom and discipline; for understanding words of insight;

The mind of a discerning person gains knowledge, while the ears of wise people seek out knowledge.
