Job 28:1-28
1) "Surely there is a mine for silver, And a place for gold which they refine.
2) Iron is taken out of the earth, And copper is smelted out of the ore.
3) Man sets an end to darkness, And searches out, to the furthest bound, The stones of obscurity and of thick darkness.
4) He breaks open a shaft away from where people live. They are forgotten by the foot. They hang far from men, they swing back and forth.
5) As for the earth, out of it comes bread; Underneath it is turned up as it were by fire.
6) Sapphires come from its rocks. It has dust of gold.
7) That path no bird of prey knows, Neither has the falcon‘s eye seen it.
8) The proud animals have not trodden it, Nor has the fierce lion passed by there.
9) He puts forth his hand on the flinty rock, And he overturns the mountains by the roots.
10) He cuts out channels among the rocks. His eye sees every precious thing.
11) He binds the streams that they don‘t trickle; The thing that is hidden he brings forth to light.
12) "But where shall wisdom be found? Where is the place of understanding?
13) Man doesn‘t know its price; Neither is it found in the land of the living.
14) The deep says, ‘It isn‘t in me.‘ The sea says, ‘It isn‘t with me.‘
15) It can‘t be gotten for gold, Neither shall silver be weighed for its price.
16) It can‘t be valued with the gold of Ophir, With the precious onyx, or the sapphire.
17) Gold and glass can‘t equal it, Neither shall it be exchanged for jewels of fine gold.
18) No mention shall be made of coral or of crystal: Yes, the price of wisdom is above rubies.
19) The topaz of Ethiopia shall not equal it, Neither shall it be valued with pure gold.
20) Whence then comes wisdom? Where is the place of understanding?
21) Seeing it is hidden from the eyes of all living, And kept close from the birds of the sky.
22) Destruction and Death say, ‘We have heard a rumor of it with our ears.‘
23) "God understands its way, And he knows its place.
24) For he looks to the ends of the earth, And sees under the whole sky.
25) He establishes the force of the wind; Yes, he measures out the waters by measure.
26) When he made a decree for the rain, And a way for the lightning of the thunder;
27) Then did he see it, and declare it. He established it, yes, and searched it out.
28) To man he said, ‘Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom. To depart from evil is understanding.‘"
Psalm 1:1-6
1) Blessed is the man who doesn‘t walk in the counsel of the wicked, Nor stand in the way of sinners, Nor sit in the seat of scoffers;
2) But his delight is in the law of Yahweh; On his law he meditates day and night.
3) He shall be like a tree planted by the streams of water, That brings forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also does not wither. Whatever he does shall prosper.
4) The wicked are not so, But are like the chaff which the wind drives away.
5) Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment, Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
6) For Yahweh knows the way of the righteous, But the way of the wicked shall perish. Psalm 2
Proverbs 2:1-6
1) My son, if you will receive my words, And store up my commandments within you;
2) So as to turn your ear to wisdom, And apply your heart to understanding;
3) Yes, if you call out for discernment, And lift up your voice for understanding;
4) If you seek her as silver, And search for her as for hidden treasures:
5) Then you will understand the fear of Yahweh, And find the knowledge of God.
6) For Yahweh gives wisdom. Out of his mouth comes knowledge and understanding.
Proverbs 3:1-18
1) My son, don‘t forget my teaching; But let your heart keep my commandments:
2) For length of days, and years of life, And peace, will they add to you.
3) Don‘t let kindness and truth forsake you. Bind them around your neck. Write them on the tablet of your heart.
4) So you will find favor and good understanding in the sight of God and man.
5) Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, And don‘t lean on your own understanding.
6) In all your ways acknowledge him, And he will direct your paths.
7) Don‘t be wise in your own eyes. Fear Yahweh, and depart from evil.
8) It will be health to your body, And nourishment to your bones.
9) Honor Yahweh with your substance, With the first fruits of all your increase:
10) So your barns will be filled with plenty, And your vats will overflow with new wine.
11) My son, don‘t despise Yahweh‘s discipline, Neither be weary of his reproof:
12) For whom Yahweh loves, he reproves; Even as a father the son in whom he delights.
13) Happy is the man who finds wisdom, The man who gets understanding.
14) For the gaining of it is better than the gaining of silver, The profit of it better than fine gold.
15) She is more precious than rubies. None of the things you can desire are to be compared to her.
16) Length of days is in her right hand. In her left hand are riches and honor.
17) Her ways are ways of pleasantness. All her paths are peace.
18) She is a tree of life to those who lay hold of her. Happy is everyone who retains her.
Proverbs 9:10
10) The fear of Yahweh is the beginning of wisdom. The knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
Ecclesiastes 7:11-12
11) Wisdom is as good as an inheritance. Yes, it is more excellent for those who see the sun.
12) For wisdom is a defense, even as money is a defense; but the excellency of knowledge is that wisdom preserves the life of him who has it.
Ecclesiastes 12:9-14
9) Further, because the Preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge. Yes, he pondered, sought out, and set in order many proverbs.
10) The Preacher sought to find out acceptable words, and that which was written blamelessly, words of truth.
11) The words of the wise are like goads; and like nails well fastened are words from the masters of assemblies, which are given from one shepherd.
12) Furthermore, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh.
13) This is the end of the matter. All has been heard. Fear God, and keep his commandments; for this is the whole duty of man.
14) For God will bring every work into judgment, with every hidden thing, whether it is good, or whether it is evil.
