¹¹ The LORD hath made a faithful oath unto David, and he shall not shrink from it, "Of the fruit of the body shall I set upon thy seat. ¹² If thy children will keep my covenant, and my testimony that I shall learn them; their children also shall sit upon thy seat for evermore."

² that thou wilt incline thin ears unto wisdom; apply thine heart then to understanding. ³ For if thou criest after wisdom, and callest for knowledge; ⁴ If thou seekest after her as after money, and diggest for her as for treasures; ⁵ then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God. ⁶ For it is the LORD that giveth wisdom, out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.

⁵ Put thy trust in the LORD with all thine heart, and lean not unto thine own understanding. ⁶ In all thy ways have respect unto him, and he shall order thy goings.

¹³ Well is him that findeth wisdom, and obtaineth understanding, ¹⁴ for the getting of it is better than any merchandise of silver, and the profit of it is better than gold. ¹⁵ Wisdom is more worth than precious stones, and all the things that thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her. ¹⁶ Upon her righthand is long life, and upon her left hand is riches and honour. ¹⁷ Her ways are pleasant ways, and all her paths are peaceable. ¹⁸ She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her, and blessed are they that keep her fast.

⁷ The chief point of wisdom is that thou be willing to obtain wisdom, and before all thy goods to get the understanding.

⁸ The wisdom of him that hath understanding is to take heed unto his way; but the foolishness of the unwise deceiveth.

⁷ for he doth as a man that pescribeth a measure in his heart. He sayeth unto thee, "Eat and drink," whereas his heart is not with thee.

¹⁴ Amos answered, and said to Amaziah, "As for me I am neither prophet, nor prophet's son: but a keeper of cattle. Now as I was breaking down mulberries, and going after the cattle,

³³ But rather, seek ye first the kingdom of heaven, and the righteousness thereof; and all these things shall be ministered unto you.

⁷ "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: ⁸ For whosoever asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

²³ "And in that day shall ye ask me no question. Verily, verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the father in my name, he will give it you.

⁴ Pertained it not unto thee only? And after it was sold, was not the price in thine own power? How is it that thou hast conceived this thing in thine heart? Thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God."

¹⁶ to the one part are we the savor of death unto death; and unto the other part are we the savor of life unto life. And who is mete unto these things?

⁵ not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as it were of ourselves; but our ableness cometh of God;

²⁰ Unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly, above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,

⁹ Wherefore God hath exalted him, and given him a name above all names: ¹⁰ That in the name of Jesus should every knee bow, both of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under earth; ¹¹ and that all tongues should confess that Jesus Christ is the Lord unto the praise of God the father.

¹² for the word of God is quick, and mighty in operation, and sharper than any two edged sword: and entereth through, even unto the dividing asunder of the soul and the spirit and of the joints, and the marrow: and judgeth the thoughts and the intents of the heart.

⁵ If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, which giveth to all men indifferently and casteth no man in the teeth; and it shall be given him.

¹³ If any man be wise and endued with learning among you, let him show the works of his good conversation in meekness that is coupled with wisdom.

¹⁷ but the wisdom that is from above, is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without judging, and without simulation.

¹⁴ And this is the confidence that we have in him: that if we ask ought, according to his will, he heareth us. ¹⁵ And if we know that he hear us whatsoever we ask, we know that we shall have the petitions that we desire of him.
