Proverbs 4:7-9
7. The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom, and whatever you get, get insight.
8. Prize her highly, and she will exalt you; she will honor you if you embrace her.
9. She will place on your head a fair garland; she will bestow on you a beautiful crown."
Proverbs 22:3 The wise man sees trouble and hides himself; the fool passes on and is taken in its snare.
Proverbs 9:12 If you are wise, you are wise for yourself; if you a fool, you alone will bear it.
Job 14:22 A man feels only the pain of his own body, and he mourns only for himself.
Wisdom 7:21-30
21. And now I understand everything, hidden or visible,
for Wisdom, the designer of all things, has instructed me.
22. For within her is a spirit intelligent, holy,
unique, manifold, subtle,
mobile, incisive, unsullied,
lucid, invulnerable, benevolent, shrewd,
23. irresistible, beneficent, friendly to human beings,
steadfast, dependable, unperturbed,
almighty, all-surveying,
penetrating all intelligent, pure and most subtle spirits.
24. For Wisdom is quicker to move than any motion;
she is so pure, she pervades and permeates all things.
25. She is a breath of the power of God,
pure emanation of the glory of the Almighty;
so nothing impure can find its way into her.
26. For she is a reflection of the eternal light,
untarnished mirror of God's active power,
and image of his goodness.
27. Although she is alone, she can do everything;
herself unchanging, she renews the world,
and, generation after generation, passing into holy souls,
she makes them into God's friends and prophets;
28. for God loves only those who dwell with Wisdom.
29. She is indeed more splendid than the sun,
she outshines all the constellations;
compared with light, she takes first place,
30. for light must yield to night,
but against Wisdom evil cannot prevail.
