Proverbs 1:20, 20:15, 4:7, 24:5, 3:13; Psalm 90:12 [Portuguese]

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

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

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

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

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

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