How cometh a man then by wisdom? Where is the place that men find understanding? Verily, no man can tell how worthy a thing she is, neither is she found in the land of the living. "The deep sayeth, 'She is not in me.' The sea sayeth, 'She is not with me.' read more.
She cannot be gotten for the most fine gold, neither may the price of her be bought with any money. No wedges of gold of Ophir, no precious Onyx stones, no Sapphire may be compared unto her. No, neither gold nor Crystal, neither sweet odours nor golden plate. There is nothing so worthy, or so excellent, as once to be named unto her: for perfect wisdom goeth far beyond them all. The Topaz that cometh out of Ethiopia may in no wise be likened unto her: yea, no manner of apparel how pleasant and fair soever it be. "From where then cometh wisdom? And where is the place of understanding? She is hid from the eyes of all men; yea, and from the fouls of the air. Destruction and death say, 'We have heard tell of her with our ears.' But God seeth her way, and knoweth her place. For he holdeth the ends of the world and looketh upon all that is under the heaven. When he weighed the winds, and measured the waters; When he set the rain in order, and gave the mighty floods a law; Then did he see her, then declared he her, prepared her and knew her. And unto man he said, 'Behold, to fear the LORD is wisdom: and to forsake evil, is understanding.'"

Well is him that findeth wisdom, and obtaineth understanding, for the getting of it is better than any merchandise of silver, and the profit of it is better than gold. Wisdom is more worth than precious stones, and all the things that thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her. read more.
Upon her righthand is long life, and upon her left hand is riches and honour. Her ways are pleasant ways, and all her paths are peaceable. She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her, and blessed are they that keep her fast. With wisdom hath the LORD laid the foundation of the earth, and through understanding hath he established the heavens. Through his wisdom the depths break up, and the clouds drop down of the dew. My son, let not these things depart from thine eyes, but keep my law and my counsel: So shall it be life unto thy soul, and grace unto thy mouth. Then shalt thou walk safely in thy way, and thy foot shall not stumble. If thou sleepest thou shalt not be afraid, but shall take thy rest and sleep sweetly.

he taught me also, saying, "Let thine heart receive my words, keep my commandments, and thou shalt live. Get thee wisdom, get thee understanding, forget not the words of my mouth, and shrink not from them. Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee. The chief point of wisdom is that thou be willing to obtain wisdom, and before all thy goods to get the understanding. Make much of her and she shall promote thee: Yea, if thou embracest her, she shall bring thee unto honour. She shall make thee a gracious head, and garnish thee with the crown of glory." Hear, my son, and receive my words, that the years of thy life may be many. I will show thee the way of wisdom, and lead thee in the right paths. So that if thou goest therein, there shall no straitness hinder thee: and when thou runnest, thou shalt not fall. Take fast hold of doctrine, let her not go: keep her, for she is thy life.

Wisdom » What wisdom is
Then said I, "Wisdom is better than strength." Nevertheless, a simple man's wisdom is despised, and his words are not heard.
When an iron is blunt, and the point not sharpened, it must be whet again, and that with might. Even so doth wisdom follow diligence.
Wisdom shineth in the face of him that hath understanding; but the eyes of fools wander throughout all lands.
The chief point of wisdom is that thou be willing to obtain wisdom, and before all thy goods to get the understanding.
For wisdom is more worth than precious stones; yea, all the things that thou canst desire, are not to be compared unto it. "I, wisdom, have my dwelling with knowledge, and prudent counsel is mine own. With me is the fear of the LORD, and the eschewing of evil. As for pride, disdain, and evil way, and a mouth that speaketh wicked things, I utterly abhor them. read more.
I can give counsel, and be a guide: I have understanding, I have strength.
I can give counsel, and be a guide: I have understanding, I have strength.
Wisdom is a high thing; yea, even to the fool, for he dare not open his mouth in the gate.
Wisdom is better than riches; yea, much more worth than the eyesight. For wisdom defendeth as well as money, and the excellent knowledge and wisdom giveth life to him that have it in possession.
