The Blessings of Wisdom

The Blessings of Wisdom

13Blessed [is] the man who finds wisdom, the man who acquires understanding,

14for she is more profitable than silver, and her gain [is better] than fine gold.

15She is more precious than rubies; nothing you desire compares with her.

16Long life is in her right hand; in her left hand [are] riches and honor.

17All her ways are pleasant, and all her paths [are] peaceful.

18She is a tree of life to those who embrace her, and those who lay hold of her are blessed.

19The LORD founded the earth by wisdom and established the heavens by understanding.

20By His knowledge the watery depths were broken open, and the clouds dripped with dew.

21My son, do not lose sight of this: Preserve sound judgment and discernment.

22They will be life to your soul and adornment to your neck.

23Then you will go on your way in safety, and your foot will not stumble.

24When you lie down, you will not be afraid; when you rest, your sleep will be sweet.

25Do not fear sudden danger or the ruin that overtakes the wicked,

26for the LORD will be your confidence and will keep your foot from the snare.

27Do not withhold good from the deserving[fn] when it is within your power to act.

28Do not tell your neighbor, “Come back tomorrow [and] I will provide”—when you already have the means

29Do not devise evil against your neighbor, for he trustfully dwells beside you.

30Do not accuse a man without cause, when he has done you no harm.

31Do not envy a violent man or choose any of his ways;

32for the LORD detests the perverse but He is a friend to the upright.

33The curse of the LORD is on the house of the wicked, but He blesses the home of the righteous.

34He mocks the mockers, but gives grace to the humble.[fn]

35The wise will inherit honor, but fools are held up to shame.


3:27 Or from its owners

3:34 LXX The Lord opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble; cited in James 4:6 and 1 Peter 5:5
