Amsal 2:1-5

Benefits of Seeking Wisdom¹

2:1 My child,² if³ you receive my words,

and store up⁴ my commands within you,

2:2 by making⁵ your ear⁶ attentive to wisdom,

and⁷ by turning⁸ your heart⁹ to understanding,

2:3 indeed, if¹⁰ you call out for¹¹ discernment¹² –

raise your voice¹³ for understanding –

2:4 if¹⁴ you seek¹⁵ it like silver,¹⁶

and search for it¹⁷ like hidden treasure,

2:5 then you will understand¹⁸ how to fear the Lord,¹⁹

and you will discover²⁰ knowledge²¹ about God.²²

Amsal 3:13-18

Blessings of Obtaining Wisdom

3:13 Blessed²³ is the one²⁴ who finds²⁵ wisdom,

and the one who obtains²⁶ understanding.

3:14 For her²⁷ benefit²⁸ is more profitable²⁹ than silver,

and her³⁰ gain³¹ is better³² than gold.

3:15 She is more precious than rubies,

and none of the things³³ you desire³⁴ can compare³⁵ with her.³⁶

3:16 Long life³⁷ is in her right hand;

in her left hand are riches and honor.

3:17 Her ways are very pleasant,³⁸

and all her paths are peaceful.

3:18 She is like³⁹ a tree of life⁴⁰ to those who obtain her,⁴¹

and everyone who grasps hold of her will be blessed.⁴²

Amsal 8:11

8:11 For wisdom is better than rubies,

and desirable things cannot be compared⁴³ to her.

Amsal 16:6

16:6 Through loyal love and truth⁴⁴ iniquity is appeased;⁴⁵

through fearing the Lord⁴⁶ one avoids⁴⁷ evil.⁴⁸

Matius 12:42

12:42 The queen of the South⁴⁹ will rise up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon – and now,⁵⁰ something greater than Solomon is here!

Yohanes 6:27

6:27 Do not work for the food that disappears,⁵¹ but for the food that remains to eternal life – the food⁵² which the Son of Man will give to you. For God the Father has put his seal of approval on him.”⁵³

Kisah Para Rasul 8:27-40

8:27 So⁵⁴ he got up⁵⁵ and went. There⁵⁶ he met⁵⁷ an Ethiopian eunuch,⁵⁸ a court official of Candace,⁵⁹ queen of the Ethiopians, who was in charge of all her treasury. He⁶⁰ had come to Jerusalem to worship,⁶¹ 8:28 and was returning home, sitting⁶² in his chariot, reading⁶³ the prophet Isaiah. 8:29 Then the Spirit said to Philip, “Go over and join this chariot.” 8:30 So Philip ran up⁶⁴ to it⁶⁵ and heard the man⁶⁶ reading Isaiah the prophet. He⁶⁷ asked him,⁶⁸ “Do you understand what you’re reading?” 8:31 The man⁶⁹ replied, “How in the world can I,⁷⁰ unless someone guides me?” So he invited Philip to come up and sit with him. 8:32 Now the passage of scripture the man⁷¹ was reading was this:

“He was led like a sheep to slaughter,

and like a lamb before its shearer is silent,

so he did⁷² not open his mouth.

8:33 In humiliation⁷³ justice was taken from him.⁷⁴

Who can describe his posterity?⁷⁵

For his life was taken away⁷⁶ from the earth.”⁷⁷

8:34 Then the eunuch said⁷⁸ to Philip, “Please tell me,⁷⁹ who is the prophet saying this about – himself or someone else?”⁸⁰ 8:35 So Philip started speaking,⁸¹ and beginning with this scripture⁸² proclaimed the good news about Jesus to him. 8:36 Now as they were going along the road, they came to some water, and the eunuch said, “Look, there is water! What is to stop me⁸³ from being baptized?” 8:37 [[EMPTY]]⁸⁴ 8:38 So he ordered the chariot to stop, and both Philip and the eunuch went down into the water,⁸⁵ and Philip baptized⁸⁶ him. 8:39 Now when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord snatched Philip away, and the eunuch did not see him any more, but⁸⁷ went on his way rejoicing.⁸⁸ 8:40 Philip, however, found himself⁸⁹ at Azotus,⁹⁰ and as he passed through the area,⁹¹ he proclaimed the good news⁹² to all the towns⁹³ until he came to Caesarea.⁹⁴
