⁶ A scoffer seeks wisdom, and doesn't find it, But knowledge comes easily to a discerning person.

⁵ But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach; and it will be given to him.

¹⁴ Now the natural man doesn't receive the things of God's Spirit, for they are foolishness to him, and he can't know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

¹⁷ If anyone desires to do his will, he will know about the teaching, whether it is from God, or if I am speaking from myself.

⁴⁵ It is written in the prophets, 'They will all be taught by God.' Therefore everyone who hears from the Father, and has learned, comes to me.

¹¹ He answered them, "To you it is given to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven, but it is not given to them.

²⁴ Wisdom is before the face of one who has understanding, But the eyes of a fool wander to the ends of the earth.

²⁴ The path of life leads upward for the wise, To keep him from going downward to Sheol.

¹⁴ The heart of one who has understanding seeks knowledge, But the mouths of fools feed on folly.

⁹⁸ Your commandments make me wiser than my enemies, For your commandments are always with me.

⁹⁹ I have more understanding than all my teachers, For your testimonies are my meditation.

¹⁰⁰ I understand more than the aged, Because I have kept your precepts.

¹² What man is he who fears Yahweh? He shall instruct him in the way that he shall choose.
