Why is there a price in the hand of a fool to buy wisdom, since he has no heart?

I will also give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.

For whoever finds me finds life, and shall obtain favor from Jehovah.

But he who sins against me does violence to his own soul; all who hate me love death.

He who loves his life will lose it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it unto eternal life.

For He who would love life and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips from speaking deceit.

My son, if you will receive my words, and treasure up my commandments within you,

yes, if you cry out for discernment, lifting up your voice for understanding;

then you shall understand the fear of Jehovah, and find the knowledge of God.

He lays up sound wisdom for the upright; a shield to those who walk in integrity,

Then you shall understand righteousness and justice and equity and every good path.

She is a tree of life to those who lay hold upon her, and happy is everyone who holds fast to her.

My son, do not let them depart from your eyes; keep sound wisdom and discretion,

And he taught me and said to me, Let your heart cling to my words; keep my commandments and live.

Do not forsake her, and she will preserve you; love her, and she will keep you.

let them not depart from your eyes; keep them in the center of your heart;

He who handles a matter wisely shall find good, and whoever trusts in Jehovah, happy is he.

for it is a pleasant thing if you keep them within you; they shall all be fixed upon your lips,

And Your servant is warned by them; in keeping them there is great reward.

He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and make Myself known to him.
