Sabedoria
A sabedoria é um dos temas mais ricos da Bíblia. O temor do Senhor é seu princípio, e buscá-la vale mais que ouro ou prata. Deus promete dar sabedoria generosamente a quem pedir com fé.
O princípio da sabedoria
O temor do Senhor é o início de toda sabedoria verdadeira. Quem reverencia a Deus aprende a viver com discernimento e prudência.
7 The reverence of Yahweh, is the beginning of knowledge, Wisdom and correction, the foolish have despised.
10 The beginning of wisdom, is the reverence of Yahweh, and, the knowledge of the Holy, is understanding;
33 The reverence of Yahweh, is the correction of wisdom, and, before honour, is humility.
10 The beginning of wisdom, is the reverence of Yahweh, Good discretion, have all that do them, His praise, endureth for aye.
12 Yet where can, Wisdom, be found? And where is the place of understanding?13 Mortal knoweth not the way thereof, neither can it be found in the land of the living;14 The resounding deep, hath said, It is not in me! And, the sea, hath said, It is not with me!15 Pure gold cannot be given in its stead, neither can silver he weighed as the value thereof;16 It cannot be put into the scales against the gold of Ophir, with costly onyx, or sapphire;17 Neither gold nor crystal can compare with it, nor can, the exchange thereof, be a vessel of pure gold,18 Coral or crystal, cannot be mentioned, Yea, a possession, is wisdom, above red coral;19 The topaz of Ethiopia cannot compare with it, Against purest gold, can it not be weighed.20 Whence then cometh, wisdom? And where is the place of understanding?21 Seeing it hath been hid from the eyes of every living thing, and, from the bird of the heavens, hath it been concealed?22 Destruction and death, have said, With our ears, have we heard the report thereof!
Sabedoria como dom de Deus
A verdadeira sabedoria vem do alto. Deus a concede generosamente a quem pede com fé, sem lançar em rosto a fraqueza humana.

8 Let me hear, in the morning, thy lovingkindness, for, in thee, have, I trusted,Let me know the way in which I should walk, for, unto thee, have I uplifted my soul.
10 Teach me to do thy good pleasure, for, thou, art my God,Thy spirit, is good, thou wilt set me down to rest in a level land.11 For the sake of thy Name, O Yahweh, wilt thou give unto me life, In thy righteousness, wilt thou bring forth, out of distress, my soul;
11 Point out to me, O Yahweh, thy way,And guide me in a level path, because of mine adversaries.
