Proverbs 4:5

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth.

“How long, foolish ones, will you love ignorance?
How long will you mockers enjoy mocking
and you fools hate knowledge?

listening closely to wisdom
and directing your heart to understanding;

Happy is a man who finds wisdom
and who acquires understanding,

Learn to be shrewd, you who are inexperienced;
develop common sense, you who are foolish.

Why does a fool have money in his hand
with no intention of buying wisdom?

One who isolates himself pursues selfish desires;
he rebels against all sound judgment.

The one who acquires good sense loves himself;
one who safeguards understanding finds success.

Buy—and do not sell—truth,
wisdom, instruction, and understanding.

Now if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives to all generously and without criticizing, and it will be given to him.

He did what was right in the Lord’s sight and walked in the ways of his ancestor David; he did not turn aside to the right or the left.

My feet have followed in His tracks;
I have kept to His way and not turned aside.

Our hearts have not turned back;
our steps have not strayed from Your path.

The arrogant constantly ridicule me,
but I do not turn away from Your instruction.

For learning what wisdom and discipline are;
for understanding insightful sayings;

The mind of the discerning acquires knowledge,
and the ear of the wise seeks it.
