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

He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly.

For I give you good doctrine, forsake ye not my law.

My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings.

For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.

Have not I written to thee excellent things in counsels and knowledge,

That I might make thee know the certainty of the words of truth; that thou mightest answer the words of truth to them that send unto thee?

The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.

The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.

Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.

My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding.

Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought:

But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:

Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints:

Wherefore, Job, I pray thee, hear my speeches, and hearken to all my words.

My words shall be of the uprightness of my heart: and my lips shall utter knowledge clearly.

And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,

Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.

Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.

Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.

And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:

For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.

That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.
