Proverbs...on God's relationship to wisdom:



Pr.1:7 

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools [a] despise
wisdom and discipline. (NIV)



Pr.2:5-9:

5 then you will understand the fear of the LORD and find the knowledge of
God. 6 For the LORD gives wisdom, and from his mouth come knowledge and
understanding. 7 He holds victory in store for the upright, he is a shield
to those whose walk is blameless, 8 for he guards the course of the just
and protects the way of his faithful ones. 9 Then you will understand what
is right and just and fair--every good path. (NIV)



Pr.8:22-31:

22 The LORD brought me forth as the first of his works, [b] [c] before his
deeds of old; 23 I was appointed [d] from eternity, from the beginning,
before the world began. 24 When there were no oceans, I was given birth,
when there were no springs abounding with water; 25 before the mountains
were settled in place, before the hills, I was given birth, 26 before he
made the earth or its fields or any of the dust of the world. 27 I was there
when he set the heavens in place, when he marked out the horizon on the
face of the deep, 28 when he established the clouds above and fixed securely
the fountains of the deep, 29 when he gave the sea its boundary so the waters
would not overstep his command, and when he marked out the foundations of
the earth. 30 Then I was the craftsman at his side. I was filled with delight
day after day, rejoicing always in his presence, 31 rejoicing in his whole
world and delighting in mankind. (NIV)



Pr.9:10 

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy
One is understanding. (NIV)



Pr.22:17-19:

17 Pay attention and listen to the sayings of the wise; apply your heart
to what I teach, 18 for it is pleasing when you keep them in your heart
and have all of them ready on your lips. 19 So that your trust may be in
the LORD, I teach you today, even you. (NIV)
