from his mouth come knowledge and understanding;

Ecclesiastes 7:23-24

23 All this I have tested by wisdom. ^cI said, “I will be wise,” but it was far from me. 24 That which has been is far off, and ^ddeep, very deep; ^ewho can find it out?

Wisdom from the Spirit

6 Yet among ^fthe mature we do impart wisdom, although it is not ^ga wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, ^hwho are doomed to pass away. 7 But we impart a secret and hidden wisdom of God, ⁱwhich God decreed before the ages for our glory. 8 None of ^jthe rulers of this age understood this, for ^kif they had, they would not have crucified ^lthe Lord of glory. 9 But, as it is written,

^m“What no eye has seen, nor ear heard,
nor the heart of man imagined,
what God has ⁿprepared ^ofor those who love him”—
10 these things ^pGod has revealed to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even ^qthe depths of God. 11 For who knows a person’s thoughts ^rexcept the spirit of that person, which is in him? So also no one comprehends the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. 12 Now ^swe have received not ^tthe spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might understand the things freely given us by God. 13 And we impart this ^uin words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit, ^vinterpreting spiritual truths to those who are spiritual. ^{▼▼Or interpreting spiritual truths in spiritual language, or comparing spiritual things with spiritual}

14 The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are ^xfolly to him, and ^yhe is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned. 15 The ^zspiritual person judges all things, but is himself to be judged by no one.

James 1:5

5 ^aaIf any of you lacks wisdom, ^ablet him ask God, ^acwho gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.

James 1:17

17 ^adEvery good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from ^aethe Father of lights, ^afwith whom there is no variation or shadow due to change. ^{▼▼Some manuscripts variation due to a shadow of turning}
