Thematic Bible: What wisdom is


Thematic Bible



And I said, “Wisdom is better than strength, but the wisdom of the poor man is despised, and his words are not heeded.”

If the ax is dull, and one does not sharpen its edge,
then one must exert more strength;
however, the advantage of wisdom is that it brings success.

Wisdom is the focus of the perceptive,
but a fool’s eyes roam to the ends of the earth.


For wisdom is better than precious stones, and nothing desirable can compare with it. I, Wisdom, share a home with shrewdness and have knowledge and discretion. To fear the Lord is to hate evil. I hate arrogant pride, evil conduct, and perverse speech. read more.
I possess good advice and competence; I have understanding and strength.

Wisdom is inaccessible to a fool;
he does not open his mouth at the gate.

Wisdom is as good as an inheritance, and an advantage to those who see the sun. For wisdom is protection as money is protection, and the advantage of knowledge is that wisdom preserves the life of its owner.
