“‘ How do you say,“ We are wise, and Yahweh’s law is with us?” But, behold, the false pen of the scribes has worked falsely.The wise men are disappointed. They are dismayed and trapped. Behold, they have rejected Yahweh’s word. What kind of wisdom is in them?

The fear of Yahweh is the beginning of wisdom. All those who do his work have a good understanding. His praise endures forever!

What do you know that we don’t know? What do you understand which is not in us?With us are both the gray- headed and the very aged men, much elder than your father.

With aged men is wisdom, in length of days understanding.

King Rehoboam took counsel with the old men, who had stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, saying,“ What counsel do you give me to answer these people?”They replied,“ If you will be a servant to this people today, and will serve them, and answer them with good words, then they will be your servants forever.”But he abandoned the counsel of the old men which they had given him, and took counsel with the young men who had grown up with him, who stood before him.He said to them,“ What counsel do you give, that we may answer these people, who have spoken to me, saying,‘ Make the yoke that your father put on us lighter?’”The young men who had grown up with him said to him,“ Tell these people who spoke to you, saying,‘ Your father made our yoke heavy, but make it lighter to us;’ tell them,‘ My little finger is thicker than my father’s waist.Now my father burdened you with a heavy yoke, but I will add to your yoke. My father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.’”So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the king asked, saying,“ Come to me again the third day.”The king answered the people roughly, and abandoned the counsel of the old men which they had given him,and 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 chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.”So the king didn’t listen to the people; for it was a thing brought about from Yahweh, that he might establish his word, which Yahweh spoke by Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.

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

I said,‘ Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom.’But there is a spirit in man, and the Spirit of the Almighty gives them understanding.It is not the great who are wise, nor the aged who understand justice.Therefore I said,‘ Listen to me; I also will show my opinion.’

Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by his good conduct that his deeds are done in gentleness of wisdom.

To man he said,‘ Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom. To depart from evil is understanding.’”

“ Everyone therefore who hears these words of mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man, who built his house on a rock.
