“ 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 are put to shame, They are dismayed and caught; Behold, they have rejected the word of the Lord, So what kind of wisdom do they have?

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; All those who follow His commandments have a good understanding; His praise endures forever.

What do you know that we do not know? What do you understand that we do not?Both the gray haired and the aged are among us, Older than your father.

Wisdom is with the aged, And with long life comes understanding.

And King Rehoboam consulted with the elders who had served his father Solomon while he was still alive, saying,“ How do you advise me to answer this people?”Then they spoke to him, saying,“ If you will be a servant to this people today, and will serve them and grant them their request, and speak pleasant words to them, then they will be your servants always.”But he ignored the advice of the elders which they had given him, and consulted with the young men who had grown up with him and served him.He said to them,“ What advice do you give, so that we may answer this people who have spoken to me, saying,‘ Lighten the yoke which your father put on us’?”And the young men who had grown up with him spoke to him, saying,“ This is what you should say to this people who spoke to you, saying:‘ Your father made our yoke heavy, now you make it lighter for us!’ You should speak this way to them:‘ My little finger is thicker than my father’s waist!Now then, my father loaded you with a heavy yoke; yet I will add to your yoke. My father disciplined you with whips, but I will discipline you with scorpions!’ ”Then Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam on the third day, just as the king had directed, saying,“ Return to me on the third day.”And the king answered the people harshly, for he ignored the advice of the elders which they had given him,and he spoke to them according to the advice 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; because it was a turn of events from the Lord, in order to establish His word which the Lord spoke through Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.

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

I thought age should speak, And increased years should teach wisdom.But it is a spirit that is in mankind, And the breath of the Almighty gives them understanding.The abundant in years may not be wise, Nor may elders understand justice.So I say,‘ Listen to me, I too will tell what I think.’

Who among you is wise and understanding? Let him show by his good behavior his deeds in the gentleness of wisdom.

And to mankind He said,‘ Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; And to turn away from evil is understanding.’ ”

“ Therefore, everyone who hears these words of Mine, and acts on them, will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock.
