You had no control over it. So, you were born into a cursed world and you have to struggle with that your whole life. How’s that for starting off an encouraging message for you? Well, never worry and never fear. Because Funderman is here with some wisdom Bible verses to help you understand how God provides the tools you need to overcome the curses.
So, here’s a list of wisdom Bible verses.
First a few Psalms:
37:30 – The mouth of the righteous speaks wisdom, And his tongue talks of justice.
49:3 – My mouth shall speak wisdom, And the meditation of my heart shall give understanding.
51:6 – Behold, You desire truth in the inward parts, And in the hidden part You will make me to know wisdom.
90:12 – So teach us to number our days, That we may gain a heart of wisdom.
104:24 – O Lord, how manifold are Your works! In wisdom You have made them all.
111:10 – The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; A good understanding have all those who do His commandments.
136:5 – To Him who by wisdom made the heavens, For His mercy endures forever;
Now a few Proverbs:
1: 7 – The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, But fools despise wisdom and instruction.
2:2 – So that you incline your ear to wisdom, And apply your heart to understanding;
2:6 – For the Lord gives wisdom; From His mouth come knowledge and understanding;
2:7 – He stores up sound wisdom for the upright; He is a shield to those who walk uprightly;
2:10-11 – When wisdom enters your heart, And knowledge is pleasant to your soul, Discretion will preserve you; Understanding will keep you,
3:13 – Happy is the man who finds wisdom, And the man who gains understanding;
3:19 – The Lord by wisdom founded the earth; By understanding He established the heavens;
OK, that’s all for now. I shared seven short verses from each section to get you started. I think you can see how important wisdom is to God. And here’s a rhyme I wrote, 30 years ago, as I read the Bible and pondered wisdom one day. Just in case something a little more contemporary might help…
Get Wise
Don’t drink the wine of violence
Or eat the bread of hate.
You might just get away with it.
Can you afford to wait?
Don’t push and shove the simple.
Seek knowledge just like gold.
And in so doing you’ll lay up
Your treasures manifold.
A word to the confounded…
Pour light into your eyes.
If you expect more than neglect,
Get wisdom; yeah get wise.
Get wise to the deceiver.
Don’t harken to his lies.
Keep commanding understanding.
Get wisdom; yeah get wise.
Don’t walk, you, with the wicked.
Beware the scornful tongue.
Let never part your loving heart
And live forever young.
