For the LORD gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.

For wisdom will enter your heart, and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul. Discretion will protect you, and understanding will guard you.

For the upright will live in the land, and the blameless will remain in it

For the LORD gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding

for wisdom will come into your heart, and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul; discretion will watch over you, understanding will guard you

For the upright will inhabit the land, and those with integrity will remain in it

For the LORD grants wisdom! From his mouth come knowledge and understanding.

For wisdom will enter your heart, and knowledge will fill you with joy. Wise choices will watch over you. Understanding will keep you safe.

For the LORD gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.

For wisdom will enter your heart, and knowledge will delight you. Discretion will watch over you, and understanding will guard you.

For the LORD giveth wisdom: Out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.

When wisdom entereth into thine heart, And knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul; Discretion shall preserve thee, Understanding shall keep thee

For the upright shall dwell in the land, And the perfect shall remain in it.

For the LORD gives wisdom; From His mouth come knowledge and understanding

When wisdom enters your heart, And knowledge is pleasant to your soul, Discretion will preserve you; Understanding will keep you

For the upright will dwell in the land, And the blameless will remain in it

And here’s why: GOD gives out Wisdom free, is plainspoken in Knowledge and Understanding. He’s a rich mine of Common Sense for those who live well, a personal bodyguard to the candid and sincere. He keeps his eye on all who live honestly, and pays special attention to his loyally committed ones.

So now you can pick out what’s true and fair, find all the good trails! Lady Wisdom will be your close friend, and Brother Knowledge your pleasant companion. Good Sense will scout ahead for danger, Insight will keep an eye out for you. They’ll keep you from making wrong turns, or following the bad directions Of those who are lost themselves and can’t tell a trail from a tumbleweed, These losers who make a game of evil and throw parties to celebrate perversity, Traveling paths that go nowhere, wandering in a maze of detours and dead ends.

So—join the company of good men and women, keep your feet on the tried-and-true paths. It’s the men who walk straight who will settle this land, the women with integrity who will last here. The corrupt will lose their lives; the dishonest will be gone for good.

For the LORD gives wisdom; From His mouth come knowledge and understanding.

For wisdom will enter your heart, And knowledge will be delightful to your soul; Discretion will watch over you, Understanding will guard you

For the upright will live in the land, And the blameless will remain in it

For the LORD gives [skillful and godly] wisdom; From His mouth come knowledge and understanding.

For [skillful and godly] wisdom will enter your heart And knowledge will be pleasant to your soul. Discretion will watch over you, Understanding and discernment will guard you

For the upright [those who are in right standing with God] will live in the land And those [of integrity] who are blameless [in God’s sight] will remain in it

For the LORD gives wisdom, and from his mouth comes knowledge and understanding.

For wisdom will enter your heart, and moral knowledge will be attractive to you. Discretion will protect you, understanding will guard you

For the upright will reside in the land, and those with integrity will remain in it
