²⁴ Wisdom is before the face of him who has sense; but the eyes of the foolish are on the ends of the earth.

¹⁴ The wise man's eyes are in his head, but the foolish man goes walking in the dark; but still I saw that the same event comes to them all.

⁶ The hater of authority, searching for wisdom, does not get it; but knowledge comes readily to the open-minded man.

¹⁴ The heart of the man of good sense goes in search of knowledge, but foolish things are the food of the unwise.

⁵ Are your eyes lifted up to it? it is gone: for wealth takes to itself wings, like an eagle in flight up to heaven.

⁹ What the eyes see is better than the wandering of desire. This is to no purpose and a desire for wind.

¹ Who is like the wise man? and to whom is the sense of anything clear? A man's wisdom makes his face shining, and his hard face will be changed.

¹⁷ If any man is ready to do God's pleasure he will have knowledge of the teaching and of where it comes from--from God or from myself.

¹⁶ Because everything in the world, the desire of the flesh, the desire of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father but of the world.

³⁷ Let my eyes be turned away from what is false; give me life in your ways.
