Bible verses about Wisdom

If anyone lacks wisdom, God gives generously without finding fault. These verses are for decisions, crossroads, and everyday discernment.

9The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way.

12What man is he that feareth the LORD? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose.

14The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant.

8I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.

9For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light.

17O God, thou hast taught me from my youth: and hitherto have I declared thy wondrous works.

12Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O LORD, and teachest him out of thy law;

4Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.

130The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.

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

7He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly.

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

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

26For God giveth to a man that is good in his sight wisdom, and knowledge, and joy: but to the sinner he giveth travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to him that is good before God. This also is vanity and vexation of spirit.

1And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:

2And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD;

3And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the LORD: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears:

21And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.

6I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;

7To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.

16And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in paths that they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them.

17Thus saith the LORD, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am the LORD thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go.

13And all thy children shall be taught of the LORD; and great shall be the peace of thy children.

7And I will give them an heart to know me, that I am the LORD: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God: for they shall return unto me with their whole heart.

20Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are his:

21And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding:

22He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him.
