"Wisdomª [is] goodª with¹ an inheritance:ª and [by it there is] profitª to them that seeª° the sun.ª ... For¹ wisdomª [is] a defence,ª [and] moneyª [is] a defence:ª but the excellencyª of knowledgeª [is, that] wisdomª giveth lifeª° to them that haveª it." {Ecc 7:11-12} + "Then saidª° I,¹ Wisdomª [is] betterª than strength:ª¹ nevertheless the poor man'sª wisdomª [is] despised,ª° and his wordsª are not¹ heard.ª°" {Ecc 9:16} + "Getª° wisdom,ª getª° understanding:ª forgetª° [it] not;¹ neither¹ declineª° from the wordsª¹ of my mouth.ª ... Wisdomª [is] the principal thing;ª [therefore] getª° wisdom:ª and with all¹ thy gettingª get¹ understanding.ª" {Prv 4:5-7} + "How much¹ betterª [is it] to getª° wisdomª than gold!ª¹ and to getª° understandingª rather to be chosenª° than silver!ª¹" {Prv 16:16} + "Then shall ye return,ª° and discernª° between¹ the righteousª and the wicked,ª between¹ him that servethª° Godª and him¹ that servethª° him not.¹" {Mal 3:18} + "For,¹ behold,¹ the dayª cometh,ª° that shall burnª° as an oven;ª and all¹ the proud,ª yea, and all¹ that doª° wickedly,ª shall be¹ stubble:ª and the dayª that comethª° shall burn them up,ª°¹ saithª° the LORDª of hosts,ª that¹ it shall leaveª° them neither¹ rootª nor branch.ª ... But unto you that fearª my nameª shall the Sunª of righteousnessª ariseª° with healingª in his wings;ª and ye shall go forth,ª° and grow upª° as calvesª of the stall.ª" {Mal 4:1-2}
that wisdom excelleth folly:
Heb. that there is an excellency in wisdom more than in folly, etc
light:
"Truly the lightª [is] sweet,ª and a pleasantª [thing it is] for the eyesª to beholdª°¹ the sun:ª" {Ecc 11:7} + "NUN. Thy wordª [is] a lampª unto my feet,ª and a lightª unto my path.ª" {Psa 119:105} + "The entranceª of thy wordsª giveth light;ª° it giveth understandingª° unto the simple.ª" {Psa 119:130} + "But the pathª of the justª [is] as the shiningª light,ª that shinethª° more²° and more¹ unto¹ the perfectª° day.ª ... The wayª of the wickedª [is] as darkness:ª they knowª° not¹ at what¹ they stumble.ª°" {Prv 4:18-19} + "Butª ifª thineª eyeª beª° evil,ª thyª wholeª bodyª shall beª° full of darkness.²¹ Ifª thereforeª the¹ lightª that¹ is²° inª theeª be¹ darkness,ª how greatª [is] that darkness!ª" {Mtt 6:23} + "The¹ lightª of the¹ bodyª isª° the¹ eye:ª thereforeª when²¹ thineª eyeª isª° single,ª thyª wholeª bodyª alsoª isª° full of light;ª butª when²¹ [thine eye] isª° evil,ª thyª bodyª alsoª [is] full of darkness.ª ... Take heedª° thereforeª that the¹ lightª whichª is inª theeª beª° notª darkness.ª" {Lke 11:34-35} + "Forª ye wereª° sometimesª darkness,ª butª nowª [are ye] lightª inª the Lord:ª walkª° asª childrenª of light:ª" {Eph 5:8}
