⁸ Good and upright is the Lord: so he will be the teacher of sinners in the way.

¹⁵ For a sign that the Lord is upright; he is my Rock, there is no deceit in him.

⁵ But if any man among you is without wisdom, let him make his request to God, who gives freely to all without an unkind word, and it will be given to him.

⁸ I will give you knowledge, teaching you the way to go; my eye will be your guide.

¹³ But go and take to heart the sense of these words, My desire is for mercy, not offerings: for I have come not to get the upright, but sinners.

¹⁷ That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him;

¹⁸ And that having the eyes of your heart full of light, you may have knowledge of what is the hope of his purpose, what is the wealth of the glory of his heritage in the saints,

⁶ Seeing that it is God who said, Let light be shining out of the dark, who has put in our hearts the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

⁴⁴ No man is able to come to me if the Father who sent me does not give him the desire to come: and I will take him up from the dead on the last day.

⁴⁵ The writings of the prophets say, And they will all have teaching from God. Everyone whose ears have been open to the teaching of the Father comes to me.

¹³ If, then, you who are evil are able to give good things to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who make request to him?

²⁹ Take my yoke on you and become like me, for I am gentle and without pride, and you will have rest for your souls;

³⁰ For my yoke is good, and the weight I take up is not hard.

² And a number of nations will go and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will give us knowledge of his ways and we will be guided by his word: for from Zion the law will go out, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

⁷ The way of the good man is straight; the road of the upright is made smooth by you.

⁴ Whoever is simple, let him come in here; and to him who has no sense, she says:

⁵ Come, take of my bread, and of my wine which is mixed.

⁶ Give up the simple ones and have life, and go in the way of knowledge.

¹ My son, if you will take my words to your heart, storing up my laws in your mind;

² So that your ear gives attention to wisdom, and your heart is turned to knowledge;

³ Truly, if you are crying out for good sense, and your request is for knowledge;

⁴ If you are looking for her as for silver, and searching for her as for stored-up wealth;

⁵ Then the fear of the Lord will be clear to you, and knowledge of God will be yours.

⁶ For the Lord gives wisdom; out of his mouth come knowledge and reason:

²⁰ Wisdom is crying out in the street; her voice is loud in the open places;

²¹ Her words are sounding in the meeting-places, and in the doorways of the town:

²² How long, you simple ones, will foolish things be dear to you? and pride a delight to the haters of authority? how long will the foolish go on hating knowledge?

²³ Be turned again by my sharp words: see, I will send the flow of my spirit on you, and make my words clear to you.

⁶⁸ You are good, and your works are good; give me knowledge of your rules.
