A certain man lived in that city. He was poor but wise. He used his wisdom to save the city. But no one remembered that poor man.So I said,“ It’s better to be wise than to be powerful.” But people look down on the poor man’s wisdom. No one pays any attention to what he says.People should listen to the quiet words of those who are wise. That’s better than paying attention to the shouts of a ruler of foolish people.Wisdom is better than weapons of war. But one sinner destroys a lot of good.

Get wisdom, and get understanding. Don’t forget my words or turn away from them.Stay close to wisdom, and she will keep you safe. Love her, and she will watch over you.To start being wise you must first get wisdom. No matter what it costs, get understanding.Value wisdom highly, and she will lift you up. Hold her close, and she will honor you.She will set a beautiful crown on your head. She will give you a glorious crown.”

“ My children, listen to me. Blessed are those who keep my ways.Listen to my teaching and be wise. Don’t turn away from it.Blessed are those who listen to me. They watch every day at my doors. They wait beside my doorway.Those who find me find life. They receive blessing from the Lord.

King Solomon was richer than all the other kings on earth. He was also wiser than they were.People from the whole world wanted to meet Solomon in person. They wanted to see for themselves how wise God had made him.

A person who isn’t friendly looks out only for themselves. They oppose all good sense by starting fights.

Look for it as you would look for silver. Search for it as you would search for hidden treasure.

The queen of Sheba heard about how famous Solomon was. She also heard about how he served and worshiped the Lord. So she came to test Solomon with hard questions.She arrived in Jerusalem with a very large group of attendants. Her camels were carrying spices, huge amounts of gold, and valuable jewels. She came to Solomon and asked him about everything she wanted to know.Solomon answered all her questions. There wasn’t anything too hard for the king to explain to her.So the queen of Sheba saw how very wise Solomon was. She saw the palace he had built.She saw the food on his table. She saw his officials sitting there. She saw the robes of the servants who waited on everyone. She saw his wine tasters. And she saw the burnt offerings Solomon sacrificed at the Lord’ s temple. She could hardly believe everything she had seen.She said to the king,“ Back in my own country I heard a report about you. I heard about how much you had accomplished. I also heard about how wise you are. Everything I heard is true.But I didn’t believe those things. So I came to see for myself. And now I believe it! You are twice as wise and wealthy as people say you are. The report I heard doesn’t even begin to tell the whole story about you.How happy your people must be! How happy your officials must be! They always get to serve you and hear the wise things you say.May the Lord your God be praised. He takes great delight in you. He placed you on the throne of Israel. The Lord will love Israel for all time to come. That’s why he has made you king. He knows that you will do what is fair and right.”
