TSK · Proverbs 4:7

Giue me now wisdome & knowledge, that I may go out and go in before this people: for who can iudge this thy great people?

By thy precepts I haue gotten vnderstanding: therefore I hate all the wayes of falshoode.

Howe much better is it to get wisedome then golde? and to get vnderstanding, is more to be desired then siluer.

Bye the trueth, but sell it not: likewise wisdome, and instruction, and vnderstanding.

There is one alone, & there is not a second, which hath neither sonne nor brother, yet is there none end of all his trauaile, neither can his eye be satisfied with riches: neither doeth he thinke, For whome doe I trauaile and defraude my soule of pleasure? this also is vanitie, and this is an euill trauaile.

Then said I, Better is wisdome then stregth: yet the wisedome of the poore is despised, and his wordes are not heard.

For what shall it profite a man, though he should winne the whole world, if he lose his soule?

But God said vnto him, O foole, this night wil they fetch away thy soule fro thee: then whose shall those things be which thou hast prouided?
