²⁰Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets

¹⁵There is gold, and a multitude of rubies: but the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel.

⁷Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.

⁵A wise man is strong; yea, a man of knowledge increaseth strength.

¹³Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.

¹²So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.

1 Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations.

2 Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.

3 Lord, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him! or the son of man, that thou makest account of him!

4 Man is like to vanity: his days are as a shadow that passeth away.

12 But thou, O Lord, shall endure for ever; and thy remembrance unto all generations.

15 Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us, and the years wherein we have seen evil.
