Colossians 1:9-11
For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray and make request for you, that ye may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding,to walk worthily of the Lord unto all pleasing, bearing fruit in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;strengthened with all power, according to the might of his glory, unto all patience and longsuffering with joy;

Ecclesiastes 9:13-18
I have also seen wisdom under the sun on this wise, and it seemed great unto me:There was a little city, and few men within it; and there came a great king against it, and besieged it, and built great bulwarks against it.Now there was found in it a poor wise man, and he by his wisdom delivered the city; yet no man remembered that same poor man.Then said I, Wisdom is better than strength: nevertheless the poor man’s wisdom is despised, and his words are not heard.The words of the wise heard in quiet are better than the cry of him that ruleth among fools.Wisdom is better than weapons of war; but one sinner destroyeth much good.

2 Samuel 20 16-2 Samuel 20 22
Then cried a wise woman out of the city, Hear, hear; say, I pray you, unto Joab, Come near hither, that I may speak with thee.And he came near unto her; and the woman said, Art thou Joab? And he answered, I am. Then she said unto him, Hear the words of thy handmaid. And he answered, I do hear.Then she spake, saying, They were wont to speak in old time, saying, They shall surely ask counsel at Abel: and so they ended the matter.I am of them that are peaceable and faithful in Israel: thou seekest to destroy a city and a mother in Israel: why wilt thou swallow up the inheritance of Jehovah?And Joab answered and said, Far be it, far be it from me, that I should swallow up or destroy.The matter is not so: but a man of the hill- country of Ephraim, Sheba the son of Bichri by name, hath lifted up his hand against the king, even against David; deliver him only, and I will depart from the city. And the woman said unto Joab, Behold, his head shall be thrown to thee over the wall.Then the woman went unto all the people in her wisdom. And they cut off the head of Sheba the son of Bichri, and threw it out to Joab. And he blew the trumpet, and they were dispersed from the city, every man to his tent. And Joab returned to Jerusalem unto the king.
