箴言 18:2
愚昧人不喜爱明哲，
只喜爱显露心意。
以弗所书 4:18
他们心地昏昧，与 神所赐的生命隔绝了，都因自己无知，心里刚硬；
箴言 2
:1 我儿，你若领受我的言语，
存记我的命令，
2:2 侧耳听智慧，
专心求聪明，
2:3 呼求明哲，
扬声求聪明，
2:4 寻找它，如寻找银子；
搜求它，如搜求隐藏的珍宝，
2:5 你就明白敬畏耶和华，
得以认识 神。
2:6 因为耶和华赐人智慧，
知识和聪明都由他口而出。
2:7 他给正直人存留真智慧，
给行为纯正的人作盾牌，
2:8 为要保守公平人的路，
护庇虔敬人的道。
2:9 你也必明白仁义、公平、
正直，一切的善道。
2:10 智慧必入你心，
你的灵要以知识为美。
2:11 谋略必护卫你，
聪明必保守你，
2:12 要救你脱离恶道（注：或作“恶人的道”），
脱离说乖谬话的人。
2:13 那等人舍弃正直的路，
行走黑暗的道，
2:14 欢喜作恶，
喜爱恶人的乖僻，
2:15 在他们的道中弯曲，
在他们的路上偏僻。
2:16 智慧要救你脱离淫妇，
就是那油嘴滑舌的外女。
2:17 她离弃幼年的配偶，
忘了 神的盟约。
2:18 她的家陷入死地，
她的路偏向阴间。
2:19 凡到她那里去的，不得转回，
也得不着生命的路。
2:20 智慧必使你行善人的道，
守义人的路。
2:21 正直人必在世上居住，
完全人必在地上存留；
2:22 惟有恶人必然剪除，
奸诈的必然拔出。
Proverbs 18:2 (ESV)
A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing his opinion.
Ephesians 4:18 (ESV)
They are darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, due to their hardness of heart.
Proverbs 2 (ESV)
1My son, if 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 for understanding,
4 if you seek it like silver
and search for it as for hidden treasures,
5 then you will understand the fear of the Lord
and find the knowledge of God.
6 For the Lord gives wisdom;
from his mouth come knowledge and understanding;
7 he stores up sound wisdom for the upright;
he is a shield to those who walk in integrity,
8 guarding the paths of justice
and watching over the way of his saints.
9 Then you will understand righteousness and justice
and equity, every good path;
10 for wisdom will come into your heart,
and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul;
11 discretion will watch over you,
understanding will guard you,
12 delivering you from the way of evil,
from men of perverted speech,
13 who forsake the paths of uprightness
to walk in the ways of darkness,
14 who rejoice in doing evil
and delight in the perverseness of evil,
15 men whose paths are crooked,
and who are devious in their ways.
16 So you will be delivered from the forbidden woman,
from the adulteress with her smooth words,
17 who forsakes the companion of her youth
and forgets the covenant of her God;
18 for her house sinks down to death,
and her paths to the departed;
19 none who go to her come back,
nor do they regain the paths of life.
20 So you will walk in the way of the good
and keep to the paths of the righteous.
21 For the upright will inhabit the land,
and those with integrity will remain in it,
22 but the wicked will be cut off from the land,
and the treacherous will be rooted out of it.
