26
If you desire wisdom, keep the commandments, and the Lord will lavish her upon you.
27
For the fear of the Lord is wisdom and discipline, fidelity and humility are his delight.
28
Do not disobey the fear of the Lord; do not approach him with a divided mind.
29
Do not be a hypocrite before others, and keep watch over your lips.
30
Do not exalt yourself, or you may fall and bring dishonor upon yourself. The Lord will reveal your secrets and overthrow you before the whole congregation, because you did not come in the fear of the Lord, and your heart was full of deceit.
