Proverbs 4:5

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

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

"O ye children, how long will ye love childishness? How long will the scorners delight in scorning, and the unwise be enemies unto knowledge?

that thou wilt incline thin ears unto wisdom; apply thine heart then to understanding.

Well is him that findeth wisdom, and obtaineth understanding,

Take heed unto knowledge, O ye ignorant; be wise in heart, O ye fools.

What helpeth it to give a fool money in his hand, whereas he hath no mind to buy wisdom?

He accompanieth himself with all steadfast and healthsome doctrine, that hath a desire to it and is sequestered from company.

He that is wise loveth his own soul; and whoso hath understanding, shall prosper.

Labour for to get the truth, sell not away wisdom, nurture and understanding;

If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, which giveth to all men indifferently and casteth no man in the teeth; and it shall be given him.

And he did that pleased the LORD, and walked in the ways of David his father, bowing neither to the righthand nor to the left.

My foot doth keep his path; his highway have I holden, and will not go out of it.

Our heart is not turned back, neither our steps gone out of thy way,

The proud have had me exceedingly in derision; yet have I not shrinked from thy law.

To learn wisdom, instruction, understanding, prudence,

A wise heart laboureth for knowledge; and a prudent ear seeketh understanding.
