"Foolish people! How long do you want to be foolish? How long will you enjoy making fun of knowledge? Will you never learn?

Listen when I reprimand you; I will give you good advice and share my knowledge with you.

Listen to what is wise and try to understand it.

Look for it as hard as you would for silver or some hidden treasure.

Happy is anyone who becomes wise---who comes to have understanding.

Wisdom is more valuable than jewels; nothing you could want can compare with it.

Wisdom can make your life pleasant and lead you safely through it.

Are you immature? Learn to be mature. Are you foolish? Learn to have sense.

It does a fool no good to spend money on an education, because he has no common sense.

People who do not get along with others are interested only in themselves; they will disagree with what everyone else knows is right.

Do yourself a favor and learn all you can; then remember what you learn and you will prosper.

Truth, wisdom, learning, and good sense---these are worth paying for, but too valuable for you to sell.

But if any of you lack wisdom, you should pray to God, who will give it to you; because God gives generously and graciously to all.

He did what was pleasing to the LORD; he followed the example of his ancestor King David, strictly obeying all the laws of God.

I follow faithfully the road he chooses, and never wander to either side.

We have not been disloyal to you; we have not disobeyed your commands.

The proud are always scornful of me, but I have not departed from your law.

I have many enemies and oppressors, but I do not fail to obey your laws.
