Where Can One Look for Wisdom?

Where can one look for wis­dom?

Where un­der­stand­ing find?

Man does not grasp its val­ue—

More than can be mined.

It can’t be bought with fin­est gold

Silver

or jew­els so rare.

Priced far be­yond all ru­bies

Nothing can com­pare.

Where then does wis­dom come from?

Where un­der­stand­ing dwell?

God com­pre­hends the path­way

He alone knows well.

He views the ends of all the earth;

He sees the world He formed.

He has es­tab­lished wis­dom

Tested and con­firmed.

Fear of the Lord is wis­dom;

Seek it and you will find.

Cry out for un­der­stand­ing;

Let it fill your mind.

Search as for hid­den trea­sure;

Look for it ev­ery day.

This is the path to wis­dom;

Follow all the way.
