Wisdom

At men's breakfast we were discussing wisdom from the context of Proverbs. 

Pro 3:5    Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

Pro 3:6    In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

Pro 3:7    Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.

Pro 3:13    Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.

Pro 3:19    The LORD by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath he established the heavens.

Pro 3:20    By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew.

Job 28:12    But where shall wisdom be found? and where is the place of understanding?

Job 28:20    Whence then cometh wisdom? and where is the place of understanding?

Job 28:28    And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.

Pro 2:6    For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.

John Gill writes..

Proverbs 2:6

For the Lord giveth wisdom,.... Natural wisdom in all its branches, with all its improvements, and in its utmost latitude and perfection; and spiritual wisdom, which lies in the knowledge of a man's self, his own folly, impurity, impotence, and misery; being wise unto salvation; in the knowledge of Christ, as the only way of salvation, and of God in Christ; in partaking of the true grace, which is wisdom in the hidden part; in being acquainted experimentally with the doctrines of the Gospel; and in walking wisely and circumspectly, and as becomes it, which is practical wisdom: and all this is the gift of God; as is also Christ, who is wisdom, and is given to be wisdom to his people. He is the gift of God to them, in all characters he bears, and relations he stands in; he is a very large comprehensive gift, an unspeakable one; which is given freely and liberally, and is never taken away again. Now this is said, partly to caution such who search after wisdom, and find it, not to attribute it to their diligence and industry, but to the grace of God; and partly as a direction where to go for it; and as an encouragement to hope to have it, since the Lord freely gives it, Jas 1:5;

out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding; by the prophets of the Old Testament who came with a "Thus saith the Lord", and were the mouth of the Lord to the people; from whence flowed the knowledge of divine things; of the will of God; of the Messiah, his person and offices; of his coming, sufferings, death and salvation by him: and by his Son, by whom he has spoke in these last days, and has declared all his mind; and by whom the doctrines of grace and truth, and the knowledge of them, are come fully and clearly, Heb 1:1; and by the Scriptures of truth, both of the Old and of the New Testament, which are the word of God; what are breathed by him and come out of his mouth, and are able to make men wise unto salvation: and by the ministers of the Gospel, who speak in the name of the Lord, and the Lord by them; and by means of whom he imparts much spiritual and evangelical knowledge to the sons of men; the mouth of a Gospel minister, who is the month of God to men, "speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment", Psa 37:30. This clause is added, to encourage to a search after wisdom in the use of means; namely, by attending on the word, and the ministry of it.

Act 28:25    And when they agreed not among themselves, they departed, after that Paul had spoken one word, Well spake the Holy Ghost by Esaias the prophet unto our fathers,

Act 28:26    Saying, Go unto this people, and say, Hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and not perceive:

Act 28:27    For the heart of this people is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes have they closed; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.

1Jn 1:1    That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life;

Joh 1:1    In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

Joh 1:2    The same was in the beginning with God.

Joh 1:3    All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
