Proverbs 22:29

29Do you see a man skillful in his work?
He will astand before kings;
he will not stand before obscure men.

Daniel 1:17-20

17As for these four youths, bGod gave them learning and cskill in all literature and wisdom, and Daniel had dunderstanding in all visions and dreams. 18At the end of ethe time, when the king had commanded that they should be brought in, the chief of the eunuchs brought them in before Nebuchadnezzar. 19And the king spoke with them, and among all of them none was found like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. Therefore fthey stood before the king. 20And in every matter of wisdom and understanding about which the king inquired of them, he found them ten times better than all gthe magicians and henchanters that were in all his kingdom.
