God and the person who finds wisdom: a biblical paraphrase.

On knowledge and God: a modern paraphrase distillation of some verse from the RSV and KJV:

The depths of God's wisdom and knowledge are truly profound and beyond human comprehension. His judgments and ways are impossible to fully understand.

If you sincerely seek insight and understanding, and you're willing to put in the effort to find it, you'll come to understand the reverence and awe that is due to the Lord. You'll discover the knowledge of God and gain a deeper appreciation for His ways.

Reverence for the Lord is the foundation of true knowledge. Don't rely solely on your own understanding. Instead, acknowledge God in every aspect of your life, and He will guide you on the right path. The Lord is the source of wisdom, and His words bring knowledge and understanding. He stores up wisdom for those who live with integrity, protecting them and guiding them on the path of justice.

The person who finds wisdom is truly blessed, for the rewards of wisdom far surpass any material gain. Wisdom is more precious than the finest jewels, and nothing can compare to its value. Wisdom brings long life, wealth, and honor. Her paths are filled with joy and peace. For those who hold onto wisdom, she is a source of life, and they are truly happy.
