"…4 he taught me and said, “Let your heart lay hold of my words; keep my commands and you will live. 5 Get wisdom, get understanding; do not forget my words or turn from them. 6 Do not forsake wisdom, and she will preserve you; love her, and she will guard you."
Proverbs 4:7
"Wisdom is supreme; so acquire wisdom. And whatever you may acquire, gain understanding."
Proverbs 16:16
"How much better to acquire wisdom than gold! To gain understanding is more desirable than silver"
Proverbs 1:22,23
"How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge? …"
It is impossible to follow Christ without wisdom. Those who have Christ will follow HIm because He imparts wisdom. Knowledge alone does not bring wisdom.
1 Corinthians 8:1-2 "1 Now about food sacrificed to idols: We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up. 2 The one who thinks he knows something does not yet know as he ought to know."
A man can have much knowledge and still be without good sense.
Proverbs 11:23 "23 The desire of the righteous leads only to good, but the hope of the wicked brings wrath.…"
Proverbs 2:6
"For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding;"
