WIDSOM
James
1:5-8
5If any of you
lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth
to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
6But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.
7For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.
8A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.

WISDOM
1Now
therefore hearken, O Israel, unto the statutes and unto
the judgments, which I teach you, for to do them, that ye may live, and
go in
and possess the land which the LORD God of your fathers giveth you.
2Ye
shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither
shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of
the LORD
your God which I command you.
3Your
eyes have seen what the LORD did because of Baalpeor:
for all the men that followed Baalpeor, the LORD thy God hath destroyed
them
from among you.
4But
ye that did cleave unto the LORD your God are alive every
one of you this day.
5Behold,
I have taught you statutes and judgments, even as the
LORD my God commanded me, that ye should do so in the land whither ye
go to
possess it.
6Keep
therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and
your understanding in the sight of the nations, which shall hear
all these
statutes, and say, Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding
people.
7For
what nation is there so great, who hath God so nigh unto
them, as the LORD our God is in all things that we call upon him for?
8And
what nation is there so great, that hath statutes and
judgments so righteous as all this law, which I set before you this
day?
9Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou forget the things which thine eyes have seen, and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life: but teach them thy sons, and thy sons' sons;
1

appear unto
Solomon, and said unto him, Ask what I shall give thee.
8And
Solomon said unto God, Thou hast shewed great mercy unto David my
father, and
hast made me to reign in his stead.
9Now,
O LORD God, let thy promise unto David my father be established: for
thou hast
made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in multitude.
10Give
me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this
people:
for who can judge this thy people, that is so great?
11And
God said to Solomon, Because this was in thine heart, and thou hast not
asked
riches, wealth, or honour, nor the life of thine enemies, neither yet
hast
asked long life; but hast asked wisdom and knowledge for thyself, that
thou
mayest judge my people, over whom I have made thee king:
12Wisdom and knowledge is granted unto thee; and I will give thee riches, and wealth, and honour, such as none of the kings have had that have been before thee, neither shall there any after thee have the like.
