God gave now these four springaldes cunning and learning in all scripture and wisdom: but unto Daniel specially, he gave understanding of all visions and dreams.
Is it not better then for a man to eat and drink, and his soul to be merry in his labour? Yea I saw that this also was a gift of God: For who will eat or go more lustily to his work than I? He giveth unto man, what it pleaseth him; whether it be wisdom, understanding, or gladness. But unto the sinner he giveth weariness and sorrow, that he may gather and heap together the thing, that afterward shall be given unto him whom it pleaseth God. This is now a vain thing, yea a very disquietness and vexation of mind.

If thou seekest after her as after money, and diggest for her as for treasures; then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God. For it is the LORD that giveth wisdom, out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding. He preserveth the welfare of the righteous, and defendeth them that walk innocently; He keepeth them in the right path, and preserveth the way of his saints. Then shalt thou understand righteousness, judgment and equity - yea, and every good path. When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and thy soul delighteth in knowledge; then shall counsel preserve thee, and understanding shall keep thee. That thou mayest be delivered from the evil way, and from the man that speaketh froward things; From such as leave the high street, and walk in the ways of darkness; Which rejoice in doing evil, and delight in wicked things: Whose ways are crooked, and their paths slanderous; That thou mayest be delivered also from the strange woman, and from her that is not thine own: which giveth sweet words, forsaketh the husband of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God. For her house is inclined unto death, and her paths into hell. All they that go in unto her, come not again, neither take they hold of the way of life. Therefore walk thou in the good way, and keep the paths of the righteous. For the just shall dwell in the land, and the innocent shall remain in it. But the ungodly shall be rooted out of the land, and the wicked doers shall be taken out of it.

But as it is written, "The eye hath not seen, and the ear hath not heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him." But God hath opened them unto us by his spirit. For the spirit searcheth all things, yea the bottom of God's secrets. For what man knoweth the things of a man: save the spirit of a man which is within him? Even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the spirit of God. And we have not received the spirit of the world: but the spirit which cometh of God, for to know the things that are given to us of God, which things also we speak - not in the cunning words of man's wisdom, but with the cunning words of the holy ghost, making spiritual comparisons of spiritual things. For the natural man perceiveth not the things of the spirit of God, for they are but foolishness unto him: Neither can he perceive them, because he is spiritually examined. But he that is spiritual discusseth all things: yet he himself is judged of no man. "For who knoweth the mind of the Lord, other who shall inform him?" But we understand the mind of Christ.
