Wisdom The knowledge of wisdom shall be as honey unto your soul: when you find it there shall be a reward, and your expectation shall not fail - Proverbs 24:14. Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all your endeavors get understanding - Proverbs 4:7. The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way - Proverbs 14:8. How much better is it to get wisdom than gold, and to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver - Proverbs 16:16.
