A wise man will hear and increase learning, And a man of understanding will attain wise counsel,

That the wise man may hear, and increase in learning; And that the man of understanding may attain unto sound counsels:

a wise man will listen and increase his learning, and a discerning man will obtain guidance—

A wise[ man] will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:

( Let the wise also hear and gain instruction, and let the discerning acquire guidance!)

“ Job, if you have understanding, listen to me. Pay attention to what I’m saying.

“ You men who have understanding have spoken. You wise men who hear me have said to me,

“ So listen to me, you men who have understanding. God would never do what is evil. The Mighty One would never do what is wrong.

Your commands make me wiser than my enemies, because your commands are always in my heart.I know more than all my teachers do, because I spend time thinking about your covenant laws.I understand more than the elders do, because I obey your rules.

While the prophet was still speaking, the king spoke to him. He said,“ Did I ask you for advice? Stop! If you don’t, you will be struck down.” So the prophet stopped. But then he said,“ I know that God has decided to destroy you. That’s because you have worshiped other gods. You haven’t listened to my advice.”

David said to Abigail,“ Give praise to the Lord. He is the God of Israel. He has sent you today to find me.May the Lord bless you for what you have done. You have shown a lot of good sense. You have kept me from killing Nabal and his men this day. You have kept me from using my own hands to get even.
