He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.

As you do not know the path of the wind, or how the body is formed in a mother’s womb, so you cannot understand the work of God, the Maker of all things.

Woe to those who quarrel with their Maker, those who are nothing but potsherds among the potsherds on the ground. Does the clay say to the potter, ‘What are you making?’ Does your work say, ‘The potter has no hands’?

Before a word is on my tongue you, Lord, know it completely.

Whoever is patient has great understanding, but one who is quick-tempered displays folly.

My goal is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ.

Blessed are those who find wisdom, those who gain understanding.

A thousand years in your sight are like a day that has just gone by, or like a watch in the night.

But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen.

Our God is in heaven; he does whatever pleases him.

Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but whoever hates correction is stupid.

Before the mountains were born or you brought forth the whole world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God.

Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.

For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does.

Sitting down, Jesus called the Twelve and said, “Anyone who wants to be first must be the very last, and the servant of all.”

I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you.

We know also that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true. And we are in him who is true by being in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.

Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom.

Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

Many will be purified, made spotless and refined, but the wicked will continue to be wicked. None of the wicked will understand, but those who are wise will understand.

But test them all; hold on to what is good, reject every kind of evil.

Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; his greatness no one can fathom.

Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable his judgments, and his paths beyond tracing out!

Finally the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, also went inside. He saw and believed. (They still did not understand from Scripture that Jesus had to rise from the dead.)

These are the things God has revealed to us by his Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.

You have searched me, Lord, and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar.

I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better.

The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding.
