Proverbs 1:20-23

The Call of Wisdom

20 ^aWisdom cries aloud in the street,
in the markets she raises her voice;
21 at the head of the noisy streets she cries out;
at ^bthe entrance of the city gates she speaks:
22 “How long, O ^csimple ones, will you love being simple?
How long will ^dscoffers delight in their scoffing
and fools ^ehate knowledge?
23 If you turn at my reproof, ^{▼▼Or Will you turn away at my reproof?}
behold, I will ^gpour out my spirit to you;
I will make my words known to you.

Proverbs 2:1-6

The Value of Wisdom

1 ^hMy son, ⁱif you receive my words
and treasure up my commandments with you,
2 making your ear attentive to wisdom
and inclining your heart to understanding;
3 yes, if you call out for insight
and raise your voice ^jfor understanding,
4 if you seek it like ^ksilver
and search for it as for ^lhidden treasures,
5 then ^myou will understand the fear of the Lord
and find the knowledge of God.
6 For ⁿthe Lord gives wisdom;
from his mouth come knowledge and understanding;

Proverbs 9:4-6

4 ^o“Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!”
^pTo him who lacks sense she says,
5 “Come, ^qeat of my bread
and ^rdrink of ^sthe wine I have mixed.
6 Leave ^tyour simple ways, ^{▼▼Or Leave the company of the simple} and ^vlive,
^wand walk in the way of insight.”

Micah 4:2

2 and many nations shall come, and say:
“Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,
to the house of the God of Jacob,
that he may teach us his ways
and that we may walk in his paths.”
For out of Zion shall go forth the law, ^{▼▼Or teaching}
and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

Matthew 9:13

13 Go and learn ^ywhat this means: ^z‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice.’ For ^aaI came not to call the righteous, ^abbut sinners.”

Matthew 11:29-30

29 Take my yoke upon you, and ^aclearn from me, for I am ^adgentle and lowly in heart, and ^aeyou will find rest for your souls. 30 For ^afmy yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”

Luke 11:13

13 If you then, ^agwho are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father ^ahgive the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!”
