To do evil is like sport to a fool, but
a man of understanding has wisdom.
Proverbs 10:23

 

If any of you lacks wisdom, you should
ask God, who gives generously to all without
finding fault, and it will be given to you.

He who is slow to wrath has great understanding,
but he who is impulsive exalts folly.
Proverbs 14:29

 

So that you incline your ear to wisdom, and apply
your heart to understanding; yes, if you cry out for
discernment, and lift up your voice for understanding,
if you seek her as silver, and search for her as for
hidden treasures; then you will understand the fear
of the Lord, and find the knowledge of God.
