TSK · Proverbs 4:7

Now give me wisdom and discernment so I can effectively lead this nation. Otherwise no one is able to make judicial decisions for this great nation of yours.”

Your precepts give me discernment. Therefore I hate all deceitful actions.

How much better it is to acquire wisdom than gold; to acquire understanding is more desirable than silver.

Acquire truth and do not sell it– wisdom, and discipline, and understanding.

A man who is all alone with no companion, he has no children nor siblings; yet there is no end to all his toil, and he is never satisfied with riches. He laments,“For whom am I toiling and depriving myself of pleasure?” This also is futile and a burdensome task!

So I concluded that wisdom is better than might, but a poor man’s wisdom is despised; no one ever listens to his advice.

For what benefit is it for a person to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his life?

But God said to him,‘You fool! This very night your life will be demanded back from you, but who will get what you have prepared for yourself?’
