Knowledge & Wisdom from the Bible

How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge? 1:22

For the Lord giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding. 2:6

Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold. 8:10

A wise son makes a glad father glad, But a foolish man despises his mother. 10:1

Smite a scorner, and the simple will beware: and reprove one that hath understanding, and he will understand knowledge. 19:25
