'Wisdom' in the Bible

For knowing wisdom and instruction, For understanding sayings of intelligence,

For receiving the instruction of wisdom, Righteousness, judgment, and uprightness,

Fear of Jehovah is a beginning of knowledge, Wisdom and instruction fools have despised!

To cause thine ear to attend to wisdom, Thou inclinest thy heart to understanding,

For Jehovah giveth wisdom, From His mouth knowledge and understanding.

For wisdom cometh into thy heart, And knowledge to thy soul is pleasant,

O the happiness of a man who hath found wisdom, And of a man who bringeth forth understanding.
