“ How can you say,‘ We are wise, and the law of the Lord is with us’? But behold, the lying pen of the scribes has made it into a lie.The wise men shall be put to shame; they shall be dismayed and taken; behold, they have rejected the word of the Lord, so what wisdom is in them?

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; all those who practice it have a good understanding. His praise endures forever!

What do you know that we do not know? What do you understand that is not clear to us?Both the gray-haired and the aged are among us, older than your father.

Wisdom is with the aged, and understanding in length of days.

Then King Rehoboam took counsel with the old men, who had stood before Solomon his father while he was yet alive, saying,“ How do you advise me to answer this people?”And they said to him,“ If you will be a servant to this people today and serve them, and speak good words to them when you answer them, then they will be your servants forever.”But he abandoned the counsel that the old men gave him and took counsel with the young men who had grown up with him and stood before him.And he said to them,“ What do you advise that we answer this people who have said to me,‘ Lighten the yoke that your father put on us’?”And the young men who had grown up with him said to him,“ Thus shall you speak to this people who said to you,‘ Your father made our yoke heavy, but you lighten it for us,’ thus shall you say to them,‘ My little finger is thicker than my father’s thighs.And now, whereas my father laid on you a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke. My father disciplined you with whips, but I will discipline you with scorpions.’”So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the king said,“ Come to me again the third day.”And the king answered the people harshly, and forsaking the counsel that the old men had given him,he spoke to them according to the counsel of the young men, saying,“ My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add to your yoke. My father disciplined you with whips, but I will discipline you with scorpions.”So the king did not listen to the people, for it was a turn of affairs brought about by the Lord that he might fulfill his word, which the Lord spoke by Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.

Now Elihu had waited to speak to Job because they were older than he.

I said,‘ Let days speak, and many years teach wisdom.’But it is the spirit in man, the breath of the Almighty, that makes him understand.It is not the old who are wise, nor the aged who understand what is right.Therefore I say,‘ Listen to me; let me also declare my opinion.’

Who is wise and understanding among you? By his good conduct let him show his works in the meekness of wisdom.

And he said to man,‘ Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom, and to turn away from evil is understanding.’”

“ Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock.
