Verse Concepts
Wisdom dwells with discretion and it finds knowledge and sound judgment. Respect for Jehovah means to hate evil. I hate: pride, and arrogance, the evil way, and the perverse mouth. Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I understand and I am very strong.
I have taught you laws and rules as Jehovah my God commanded me. You must obey them when you enter the land and take possession of it. Carefully obey the laws. For this will show your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations. They will hear all these statutes and say: 'Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.'
