10. The Way of Wisdom
Job 28:12-13, 15, 20, 23, 28; Prov. 3:13-17; James 1:5
Leader reads the plain lines; the congregation reads the bold lines.
Where shall wisdom be found? and where is the place of understanding?
Man knoweth not the price thereof; neither is it found in the land of the living.
It cannot be gotten for gold, neither shall silver be weighed for the price thereof.
Whence then cometh wisdom? and where is the place of understanding?
God understandeth the way thereof, and he knoweth the place thereof.
And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.
Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.
For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.
Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour.
If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
