Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all your getting get understanding.

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

He that reproves a scoffer gets for himself shame: and he that rebukes a wicked man gets himself injury.

How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! and to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver!

Happy is the man that finds wisdom, and the man that gets understanding.

A wound and dishonor shall he get; and his reproach shall not be wiped away.

Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathers by labor shall increase.

He that refuses instruction despises his own soul: but he that hears reproof gets understanding.

Why is there a price in the hand of a fool to get wisdom, seeing he has no heart for it?

The heart of the prudent gets knowledge; and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge.

He that gets wisdom loves his own soul: he that keeps understanding shall find good.

An inheritance may be gotten hastily at the beginning; but the end thereof shall not be blessed.

The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a vanity tossed to and fro of them that seek death.

Lest you learn his ways, and get a snare to your soul.
