'Discernment' in the Bible

That prudence (good judgment, astute common sense) may be given to the naive or inexperienced [who are easily misled],And knowledge and discretion (intelligent discernment) to the youth,

yea, if thou criest after discernment and liftest up thy voice to understanding;

My son, do not let wisdom leave your sight. Carefully observe sound judgment and discernment,

“Get [skillful and godly] wisdom! Acquire understanding [actively seek spiritual discernment, mature comprehension, and logical interpretation]!Do not forget nor turn away from the words of my mouth.

“The beginning of wisdom is: Get [skillful and godly] wisdom [it is preeminent]!And with all your acquiring, get understanding [actively seek spiritual discernment, mature comprehension, and logical interpretation].

You who are naive, discern wisdom! And you fools, understand discernment!

Wisdom characterizes the speech of the discerning, but the rod is for the backs of those lacking discernment.

Carrying out a wicked scheme is enjoyable to a fool, and so is wisdom for the one who has discernment.

With his mouth the godless man destroys his neighbor,But through knowledge and discernment the righteous will be rescued.

When a land does wrong, it has many princes,But when the ruler is a man of understanding and knowledge, its stability endures.
