| For the Lord giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding. | For the Lord himself is the one who bestows wisdom; from his mouth come forth knowledge and understanding. |
| He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly. | He reserves his wisdom for the upright and is a shield to those who lead blameless lives. |
| He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints. | For he guards the paths of justice and keeps watch over the way of his faithful ones. |
| Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yea, every good path. | Then you will understand equity and justice as well as righteousness—every good path. |
