Now as for these four youths, God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom; and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams.

Ahab said to Elijah, “Have you found me, my enemy?” He answered, “I have found you, because you have sold yourself to do that which is evil in Yahweh’s sight.

But there was no one like Ahab, who sold himself to do that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up.

They caused their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire, used divination and enchantments, and sold themselves to do that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, to provoke him to anger.

May Yahweh give you discretion and understanding, and put you in charge of Israel; that so you may keep the law of Yahweh your God.

But there is a spirit in man, and the Spirit of the Almighty gives them understanding.

Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!

“Every man has become brutish without knowledge. Every goldsmith is disappointed by his image; for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.

He changes the times and the seasons. He removes kings, and sets up kings. He gives wisdom to the wise, and knowledge to those who have understanding.

But Simon Peter, when he saw it, fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, “Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, Lord.”

Be of the same mind one toward another. Don’t set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Don’t be wise in your own conceits.

For we know in part and we prophesy in part;

For if a man thinks himself to be something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.

Don’t be deceived. God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.

But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceful, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.

You lust, and don’t have. You murder and covet, and can’t obtain. You fight and make war. You don’t have, because you don’t ask.

Let all them be shamed who serve engraved images, who boast in their idols. Worship him, all you gods!

The fear of Yahweh is the beginning of knowledge; but the foolish despise wisdom and instruction.

“How long, you simple ones, will you love simplicity? How long will mockers delight themselves in mockery, and fools hate knowledge?

but you have ignored all my counsel, and wanted none of my reproof;

Evil men don’t understand justice; but those who seek Yahweh understand it fully.

I said in my heart, “As for the sons of men, God tests them, so that they may see that they themselves are like animals.

For their princes are at Zoan, and their ambassadors have come to Hanes.

They don’t know, neither do they consider: for he has shut their eyes, that they can’t see; and their hearts, that they can’t understand.

But they are together brutish and foolish, instructed by idols! It is just wood.

For this cause, we also, since the day we heard this, don’t cease praying and making requests for you, that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding,

But be doers of the word, and not only hearers, deluding your own selves.

I was so senseless and ignorant. I was a brute beast before you.

Yahweh says, “Where is the bill of your mother’s divorce, with which I have put her away? Or to which of my creditors have I sold you? Behold, you were sold for your iniquities, and your mother was put away for your transgressions.

For Yahweh says, “You were sold for nothing; and you will be redeemed without money.”

“ ‘How do you say, “We are wise, and Yahweh’s law is with us?” But, behold, the false pen of the scribes has made that a lie.

Whoever therefore humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.

Most certainly I tell you, whoever will not receive God’s Kingdom like a little child, he will in no way enter into it.”

Most certainly, I tell you, whoever doesn’t receive God’s Kingdom like a little child, he will in no way enter into it.”

Now the natural man doesn’t receive the things of God’s Spirit, for they are foolishness to him, and he can’t know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

and to make all men see what is the administration of the mystery which for ages has been hidden in God, who created all things through Jesus Christ,

After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude, which no man could count, out of every nation and of all tribes, peoples, and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, dressed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands.

For he sees that wise men die; likewise the fool and the senseless perish, and leave their wealth to others.

A senseless man doesn’t know, neither does a fool understand this:

Then I said, “Woe is me! For I am undone, because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell among a people of unclean lips: for my eyes have seen the King, Yahweh of Armies!”

The princes of Zoan are utterly foolish. The counsel of the wisest counselors of Pharaoh has become stupid. How do you say to Pharaoh, “I am the son of the wise, the son of ancient kings?”

Every man has become brutish and without knowledge. Every goldsmith is disappointed by his engraved image; for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.

For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am fleshly, sold under sin.

For I don’t desire you to be ignorant, brothers, of this mystery, so that you won’t be wise in your own conceits, that a partial hardening has happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in,

Let no one deceive himself. If anyone thinks that he is wise among you in this world, let him become a fool, that he may become wise.

But if anyone thinks that he knows anything, he doesn’t yet know as he ought to know.

But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.
