Job's Discourse on Wisdom

"Surely there is a mine for silver, and a place where gold is refined. But where can wisdom be found? And where is the place of understanding? From where then does wisdom come? And where is the place of understanding? It is hidden from the eyes of all living, and concealed from the birds of the air...

GOd understand its way, and He knows its place. For He looks to the ends of the earth and sees under the whole heavens...

And to the man He said:

"Behold the fear of the LOrd, that is wisdom,

And to depart from evil is understanding."

Job 28: 1,12,20,21,23,24,28

The Book of Ecclesiastes

"..Don't pay attention to everything people say. You may hear your servant insulting you, and you know yourself that you have insulted other people many times."
The Book of Ecclesiastes 7:21;22

"It is better to have wise people reprimand you than to have stupid people sing you praises."
The Book of Ecclesiastes 7:5

"The more you worry, the more likely you are to have bad dreams,
And the more you talk, the more likely you are to say something foolish.
So when you make a promise to God, keep it as quickly as possible.
He has no use for a fool. Do what you promise to do..
Don't let your own words lead you into sin."
The Book of Ecclesiastes 5:3,4,6

"People work so hard to succeed: It is because they envy the things their neighbors have.
But it is useless. It is like chasing the wind. They say that we would be fools to fold our hands and let ourselves starve to death. Maybe so, but it is better to have only a little, with peace of mind, than be busy all the time with both hands, trying to catch the wind."
The Book of Ecclesiastes 4:4,5,6
