Listen to the words of the wise; apply your heart to my instruction.For it is good to keep these sayings in your heart and always ready on your lips.I am teaching you today— yes, you— so you will trust in the Lord.I have written thirty sayings for you, filled with advice and knowledge.In this way, you may know the truth and take an accurate report to those who sent you.

Unfriendly people care only about themselves; they lash out at common sense.

Teach us to realize the brevity of life, so that we may grow in wisdom.

Your laws are my treasure; they are my heart’s delight.I am determined to keep your decrees to the very end. Samekh

“ Come to me with your ears wide open. Listen, and you will find life. I will make an everlasting covenant with you. I will give you all the unfailing love I promised to David.

I have thought deeply about all that goes on here under the sun, where people have the power to hurt each other.

Anyone with ears to hear should listen and understand.”

In my search for wisdom and in my observation of people’s burdens here on earth, I discovered that there is ceaseless activity, day and night.

And the people of Berea were more open minded than those in Thessalonica, and they listened eagerly to Paul’s message. They searched the Scriptures day after day to see if Paul and Silas were teaching the truth.

I searched everywhere, determined to find wisdom and to understand the reason for things. I was determined to prove to myself that wickedness is stupid and that foolishness is madness.
