Job
Yea, I attended unto you, and, behold, there was none of you that convinced Job, or that answered his words:
That thou shouldest take it to the bound thereof, and that thou shouldest know the paths to the house thereof?
Who is he that hideth counsel without knowledge? therefore have I uttered that I understood not; things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.
Psalms
To the chief Musician upon Nehiloth, A Psalm of David. Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation.
Because they regard not the works of the LORD, nor the operation of his hands, he shall destroy them, and not build them up.
Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near unto thee.
For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be.
Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver.
Before your pots can feel the thorns, he shall take them away as with a whirlwind, both living, and in his wrath.
They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.
Whoso is wise, and will observe these things, even they shall understand the lovingkindness of the LORD.
Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law; yea, I shall observe it with my whole heart.
JOD. Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: give me understanding, that I may learn thy commandments.
The righteousness of thy testimonies is everlasting: give me understanding, and I shall live.
Proverbs
A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:
And beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the youths, a young man void of understanding,
In the lips of him that hath understanding wisdom is found: but a rod is for the back of him that is void of understanding.
A scorner seeketh wisdom, and findeth it not: but knowledge is easy unto him that understandeth.
Wisdom resteth in the heart of him that hath understanding: but that which is in the midst of fools is made known.
The heart of him that hath understanding seeketh knowledge: but the mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness.
Wisdom is before him that hath understanding; but the eyes of a fool are in the ends of the earth.
Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding.
