Hello World:
This series on God and wisdom could also be titled knowing God and having wisdom. As, I continue through this series, I will, at times, go back and forth talking about God, knowing God and talking about wisdom. Then at times I will combine the two, God and wisdom.
I mentioned early on in this series that wisdom was everlasting like love. In the scriptures Wisdom says the Lord possessed her in the beginning of His way, before His works of old. She was set up from everlasting, from the beginning before the earth was.
God created wisdom. How did God create wisdom? He possessed it. Wisdom came forth from God, or wisdom is a part of God's character. God exudes or gives off wisdom. He is wise. There is none wiser than God.
So, all the attributes that make up wisdom, God said, I want this to be so. Then wisdom came into existence. In addition to this, God possessed wisdom as part of Himself. This is how wisdom came into being. It came forth as part of the character of God that He, God possessed.
Wisdom says she dwells with prudence, because wisdom is prudent. Anything wisdom dwells with, it becomes a part of. Another way to put it is cautious, careful, sensible, foresighted. I want to emphasize that wisdom takes great care. Wisdom cares about people and situations. Wisdom is not selfish. Wisdom is ACTION.
Even though wisdom is cautious and careful, that does not mean that wisdom is afraid or fearful to move to do something. Wisdom is not so cautious that it freezes up, or drags it's behind, so to speak, to do something when something needs to be done, or people need help. That is fear not of God, and CARELESSNESS; which is sin.
At the beginning of this series I said some things about knowing that there is a God, or believing in Faith that there is a God is the beginning of wisdom. I also said that a person has to accept that his or her faith, or belief in God, is a matter of fact. I know with that above statement, I am giving alot of intellectuals, i.e. scientist, doctors, mathematicians, etc. headaches.
I have just defined something as a fact, or to be actual or existing, by a system of belief. In doing that it makes it hard to debunk the existence of something that is believed in. That statement makes it hard to debate against faith.
I have validated my faith, or another person's faith in God as being real. As real as scientific evidence. As real as a mathematical formula, or a physics equation. As real as medicine, and even more real. Some intellectuals which I would welcome them here by the way, will say what?
You have no hard evidence that God is real, or that there is a God. You can not prove that there is a God. Well, I can say to you that you can not prove there is not a God. Actually, I have a shocker for the intellectuals and many other people.
I do have hard evidence that God is real and that God exist. He told me to talk about it again. I will be brief and very general in talking about this. I did talk about this before. I personally met God. God visited me on several occassions. At the time I was not experienced enough to talk about it, like I can today. At the time I was more wrapped up in the experience, more than the one giving the experience.
Some may ask how do you know you met God, and it was not your imagination, a dream or something you ate. Well, I can tell you at a specific meeting I had with God, before we met, I called upon Him. I was awake. I was seeking the Lord's presence. Well, He showed up.
I was not seeking Satan, or my grandfather, or calling upon some comic book hero. I called upon God. Well I am always calling upon God. In fact, many people call upon God all the time. So, some people might say, what makes me so special, that He will visit me, and not someone else?
Well, for one I am not jealous of other people's closeness to God. I do not consider myself to be special. I do not maliciously ask such questions that are envious of another. Let me say that not everyone who ask those questions are jealous, malicious or envious. It is good to ask those questions with a RIGHT KIND OF HEART.
However, many people do not have the right kind of heart, and when they ask those questions, they ask because they have evil in their heart. This is why God never visits them, and never will until they quit watching what the other person is doing so much. They need to quit making excuses about "hypocrites", and get their own life in order.
Most people, most of the time watch other people for the wrong reasons. God sees this. If God does not visit you or has not visited you and you have sought Him out, that is not my fault. In reverse, if God is visiting you, and does not visit me, and you tell me about your experience, it is not your fault because that happened to you and not me.
I do not have to be angry with you. Some people can be a hinderance to others, but if they are both living right, there should be no problem. Each of us has to look at our own hearts, to make sure our hearts are right with God, particularly, those who profess to know God. Is your heart pure?
Scripture Reference; St.Matthew Chapter 5: Verse 8; "Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God."
Scripture Ref; St. John Chapter 14: Verse 23; Jesus answered and said unto him, "If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with Him."
So, if God is not visiting me, I need to examine myself spiritually, and see what am I doing wrong. After I look at myself, I need to check my associations. If I do not see anything wrong within myself, I most likely am deceiving myself. Nobody is perfect. Also, if you have bad associations, or close associations or friends that are unbelievers, and are proven to be shady; in which you really enjoy their companionship, then something is definetely wrong with you that God does not like.
Those are things to think about when a person is wondering why they have not literally met God. Again, most importantly it starts with your heart.
God visited me on this one occasion, and He put something inside of me. He gave me alot of information. He did this twice, or in to seperate occurrences. Staying again on just that one occasion, He touched my ears. That is why I can hear God's voice. It is a spiritual type of hearing.
I want to give a very recent example of something that happened to me very recently. This account will show alot of people that I am NOT dilusional. I was doing something for the Lord one day. I was driving down the street. I turned onto a main street.
As I turned onto this main street. The Lord told me that someone was following me. I looked back, and the nearest vehicle was nearly a block and a half behind me. The Lord told me, that vehicle at that distance was following me, and the Lord gave me the vehicle description.
Now, I will not go into the vehicle description here. So, while driving forward, I listened to the Lord and looked back at this vehicle in the distance. I came up on a shopping center. I told the Lord at the last split second, I was going to drive into the shopping center parking lot to, basically, scope out this person following me. I casually or normally turned into the parking lot. I parked.
The vehicle that was behind me drove up, turned into the shopping center lot and parked further up closer to a store's entrance, between two other cars; like he or she was going shopping, and like I was suppose to be unaware of anything they were up to. The Lord told me to pull out of my spot and swing around like I am going to leave the shopping center. I pulled out and drove like I was leaving.
Well, the particular vehicle that was
following me, pulled out of its spot further up, and headed for the exit from the lot. However, I did not fully commit, and I double backed around and wound up behind him or her at a 7-O'Clock angle watching them. So, I had them caught in a bad position.
I exposed to them that I was on to them following me, and I had them dead to right. They, he or she, decided to drive out of the parking lot and drive away. They were a weasel sent from satan, to get in my way, to stop me from doing what God wanted me to do.
However, the trick of Satan backfired. I am sure they were shocked that I was on to them. There are other instances were God spoke to me and I could hear him, and it was true, NOT some psychological disorder.
Okay this post has gone very long, so I will return again to say a little more about my experience with God, and talk more on God and wisdom in part 7 soon.

God and Wisdom Part 5
Hello World:
This series on God and wisdom may carry on for awhile. I have become much more busier than I was. There is so much going on with my schedule on a weekly basis, until I can not get here to post as much I would like. I wanted to have had one to two more posts posted, a few days back in this topic, but I was so busy working, and doing errands, until I just did not have the energy to post. This coming week is going to be busy for me as well. I do not like it. I would prefer to be well rested and have more time here posting or blogging.
As I mentoned before, if I am tired I will not post, because it is hard to think clearly. It is hard to focus when I am tired. I think that goes for every human being. I am working on this. Usually if I do not like something, I will try to do something about it. I will try to change the situation in my favor. So, I am working on this busy schedule situation. I know it is an attack from the enemy to prevent me from going on, doing God's work. I will still be determined to go on for the Lord.
In the previous post, I presented the scriptures from Proverbs chapter 8. Here I want to make some comments about those scriptures. Wisdom said her mouth speaks truth, and wickedness is an abomination to my lips. Wisdom or her words are in righteousness, and there is no froward or perverse thing in them. A person who has wisdom speaks a certain way, that is not common among most people. A person who has wisdom, and knows and fears God will speak the truth. That person will not be deceptive, they will not lie. A person who has wisdom will speak truth that leads to life. That person can be called a wise person. In other words, a wise person will speak what is NEEDFUL and HELPFUL to another's soul.
Just because a person speaks the truth that leads to life for another, does not mean that the truth is always pleasant to hear. There is a saying, that the truth hurts. Another saying says, "you can't handle the truth". Sometimes truth reveal secrets, and all secrets are known of God. God reveals secrets to servants who fear Him and have a pure heart. That "specific group" of servants are not ashamed to speak the Word of the Lord. They are obedient to the Lord, and they are wise. They please God more than anyone else.
When a wise person speaks his or her words are righteous, or they are of upright conversation. They are not disobedient to the Lord, and they DO NOT use a bunch of curse words. I do want to say more about cursing in the future. A wise person hates evil. A wise person will act or live and speak according to what pleases God.

God and Wisdom Part 4
Hello World:
I am continuing on in this series to present the second half of Proverbs chapter 8 verses 18-36 talking about wisdom. As I pick up on verse 18, wisdom as referred in the first half of the chapter is a women calling to the sons of man, or men, to receive her or accept her. In this second half of chapter 8 of proverbs wisdom continues to speak.
Verse 18) "Riches and honour are with me: yea, durable riches and righteousness.
19) My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver.
20) I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgement:
21) That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures.
22) The Lord possessed me in the beginning of His way, before his works of old.
23) I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.
24) When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water.
25) Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth.
26) While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world.
27) When He prepared the heavens, I was there: When He set a compass upon the face of the depth:
28) When He established the clouds above: when He strengthened the fountains of the deep:
29) When He gave to the sea His decree, that the waters should not pass His commandment: when He appointed the foundations of the earth:
30) Then was I by Him, as one brought up with Him: and I was daily His delight, rejoicing always before Him.
31) Rejoicing in the habitable part of His earth; and my delights were with the sons of men.
32) Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: for blessed are they that keep my ways.
33) Hear instruction, and be wise and refuse it not.
34) Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.
35) For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the Lord.
36) But He that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death.
This concludes the second half of Proverbs chapter 8. I do have several other scriptures I believe I will present later on concerning wisdom. There are some comments in regards to the scriptures I want to make, but will discuss further in part 5 of this series.

God and Wisdom Part 3
Hello World:
Today I want to present alot of scriptures on wisdom. I want to post from the book of Proverbs half of Chapter 8. That chapter has 36 verses in it. So, what I want to do is post the first half of the chapter here in part 3, and then come back later and post the second half of that chapter in part 4.
As, I mention the scriptures, or afterwards, I may comment on certain verses, depending on how the Lord leads me. however, I want to make sure I present the scriptures, because they speak for themselves.
One thing I want to say as concerning from my part 1, at the end of that post. I talked about how wisdom is everlasting like love. The Lord told me this before I looked at the scriptures.
I read the specific scriptures on wisdom many years back. However, I did not think about them, and the Lord brought things back to my rememberance. When I looked at chapter 8, it talks about wisdom being everlasting, and I am like this is really something, because I had not reviewed those scriptures, but in part 1 the Lord by His Spirit was telling me exactly what was in the scriptures.
Another thing, I referred to wisdom as an it. The Lord told me that is okay, speaking in generality. However, the scriptures refers to wisdom as a her or she. Wisdom has a feminine quality, and is referred in scripture as, metaphorically speaking, a woman.
Wisdom is like a women who cries out or who calls out to the sons of man. This is deep. Do you hear her calling?
Okay so here we go to the scriptures of Proverbs chapter 8;
Verse 1: "Doth not wisdom cry? and understanding put forth her voice?
2) She standeth in the top of high places, by the way in the places of the paths.
3) She crieth at the gates, at the entry of the city, at the coming in at the doors.
4) Unto you O me I call; and my voice is to the sons of man.
5) O ye simple, understand wisdom: and ye fools be ye of an understanding heart.
6) Hear for I will speak of excellent things; and the opening of my lips shall be right things.
7) For my mouth shall speak truth; and wickedness is an abomination to my lips.
8) All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; there is nothing froward or perverse in them.
9) They are plain to him that understandeth, and right to them that find knowledge.
10) Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold.
11) For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.
12) I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions.
13) The fear of the Lord is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way and the froward mouth do I hate.
14) Counsel is mine and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength.
15) By me kings reign, and princes decree justice.
16) By me princes rule, and nobles, even all the judges of the earth.
17) I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me."
All right that concludes the first half of Proverbs chapter 8, and part 3 of this series. I will return soon, God willing, to present the second half of chapter 8 in part 4 coming up.

God and Wisdom Part 2
Hello World:
As I mentioned before the Lord has given me alot of scriptures to post for this series. Here in part 2, I will not present the scriptures because I need to discuss somethings concerning God speaking and my blog being updated.
I recently changed my blog description to reflect a more consistent theme of God. When I was led of the Lord to began blogging, he gave me freedom to choose title and description.
I had to think very carefully as to what I wanted to call this blog and how to describe it. While thinking about the blog, it was important to me, to please the Lord, in how I publish this blog.
So, I knew I would be discussing some controversial issues; at the same time being led of the Lord to say things that will have a positive influence on the world. However, not everything I post is controversial.
God has given me a great deal of information, and continues to speak to me about things that has happened, still occurring, and that will occur in the world. So, consistently God speaks to me. I can NOT deny that.
The Lord told me that He wants people who will speak about Him with confidence. Therefore, it is important for me to let everyone know that I know Him well. The Lord told me that NOT ENOUGH people talk about knowing God, and how to have a relationship with Him. That He, God is a actual person that can be known.
God is a person that you can talk to, and He will talk back to you if you sincerely seek Him. If you accept His WAY, you can truly hear the Lord's voice.
Early in my Christian walk, I was taught by some very good teachers that God is a person, He has a mouth, and He speaks. Keep in mind we are created in His image, not the other way around. I was also taught that When God speaks, I am capable of hearing Him.
Now just like in secular school, I was a good student with good grades. Well, being taught in church I was the same, a very good student. I believed what I was taught about God speaking and me hearing Him. I took notes everytime. I did my own research into this. I was interested, and still am interested.
Even moreso, When I asked the Lord something, I was really just in awe and thankful to the Lord, because He started showing me things and speaking, and everything He said would be 100 percent correct.
It is very important for me to emphasize WHEN THE LORD SHOWS ME SOMETHING or SPEAKS TO ME, it is 100 percent accurate.
In conjunction to the above paragraph, let me also say that I will usually say that GOD told me, or the Lord told me this information. Sometimes though I may not mention it is from the Lord, even though it very well is, but not always will I say that. However, again, usually I will say if it is from the Lord.
If the information is not 100 percent accurate, then it did not come from the Lord, plain and simple. I could go into percentages of me guessing and finding out the truth about things on my own, which is pretty good by the way. CONSISTENTLY better than alot of people, but still very flawed.
However, I am talking about God speaking, which is a BIG, MAJOR difference. When God speaks His Word is always true.
These days I look to Him, more than ever, to help me get accurate and true information. I depend upon God. I trust in the Lord to help me in all things and not depend on my own strength.
So, I knew that it is true that God does speak. I had to believe it, and receive that He will speak to me. That is what I did in my early years as a Christian and still do today. So, I really thank God so much for speaking to me, and the opportunity to represent Him.
Therefore in relation to this blog, I felt it necessary to change this blog description to being all things God, and all things Jesus Christ. And I want everybody to know that if you are searching to know God, or want to know about God, you can be confident that you will find important information about God here.
I do not know everything about God, nobody does, but I know a great deal about Him. I want to say I am a very good authority on knowing God, and I have authority of God to speak His Word.
I want you all to know that I am here through this blog to help you find God and get to Heaven. If you are seeking to know God, or you already know God and want to know more about Him you are using wisdom. You are doing a very wise thing.
As concerning another change to my blog, in my archive posts section, I changed the format temporarily. I wanted everyone to have easy search access to each post that I ever did, without having to scroll through a whole year of posts to find the beginning posts, etc.
You can now click on a specific month and day on the side, to easily link to my earlier or beginning post pages. Also, in my links section, I set up specific topics from some of my past post that I have posted that can be quickly found, which includes a post in my women's issues series first for the women or ladies out there, and then everyone else. I also have two posts that are linked to both my very first and second series about Jesus.
Those side link posts are extremely important even though they are archive. As, time goes on, I do not want those archive posts to be to far buried in the blog and forgotten about. That is why I want everyone to easily be able to find them. See, I think about all those kinds of things.
The archive change is temporary for now, but may become permanent if I do not run out of vertical space on that side. I may have to switch it back, but we will see. I am kind of hoping that the blogger people will create a way where we can list many of our archive post by title. If not, that is okay, the blogger people have done a good job with the template formats already.
I may make other changs in the future, but I want to PRESENT everything in a UPRIGHT or GODLY fashion.
The Lord spoke to me again concerning somethings about women. It is the things concerning women I want to further add from what I said previously in the women's issues in posts awhile back.
The Lord was speaking to me confirming that was still a go. I said yes. So, it is coming soon. Women, you all are something else. The Lord led me here primarily because of you, women.
The Lord told me because of you, women, that I needed to get online and start talking real quick. I will say more about that when the time comes. I am very anxious to get back to talking about women, but I have to be patient. I will continue this series on God and wisdom, with the scriptures, in part 3 next.
As I mentioned before the Lord has given me alot of scriptures to post for this series. Here in part 2, I will not present the scriptures because I need to discuss somethings concerning God speaking and my blog being updated.
I recently changed my blog description to reflect a more consistent theme of God. When I was led of the Lord to began blogging, he gave me freedom to choose title and description.
I had to think very carefully as to what I wanted to call this blog and how to describe it. While thinking about the blog, it was important to me, to please the Lord, in how I publish this blog.

The Lord told me that NOT ENOUGH people talk about knowing God, and how to have a relationship with Him. That He, God is a actual person that can be known.
God is a person that you can talk to, and He will talk back to you if you sincerely seek Him. If you accept His WAY, you can truly hear the Lord's voice.
Early in my Christian walk, I was taught by some very good teachers that God is a person, He has a mouth, and He speaks. Keep in mind we are created in His image, not the other way around. I was also taught that When God speaks, I am capable of hearing Him.
Now just like in secular school, I was a good student with good grades. Well, being taught in church I was the same, a very good student. I believed what I was taught about God speaking and me hearing Him. I took notes everytime. I did my own research into this. I was interested, and still am interested.
Even moreso, When I asked the Lord something, I was really just in awe and thankful to the Lord, because He started showing me things and speaking, and everything He said would be 100 percent correct.
It is very important for me to emphasize WHEN THE LORD SHOWS ME SOMETHING or SPEAKS TO ME, it is 100 percent accurate.
In conjunction to the above paragraph, let me also say that I will usually say that GOD told me, or the Lord told me this information. Sometimes though I may not mention it is from the Lord, even though it very well is, but not always will I say that. However, again, usually I will say if it is from the Lord.
If the information is not 100 percent accurate, then it did not come from the Lord, plain and simple. I could go into percentages of me guessing and finding out the truth about things on my own, which is pretty good by the way. CONSISTENTLY better than alot of people, but still very flawed.
However, I am talking about God speaking, which is a BIG, MAJOR difference. When God speaks His Word is always true.
These days I look to Him, more than ever, to help me get accurate and true information. I depend upon God. I trust in the Lord to help me in all things and not depend on my own strength.
So, I knew that it is true that God does speak. I had to believe it, and receive that He will speak to me. That is what I did in my early years as a Christian and still do today. So, I really thank God so much for speaking to me, and the opportunity to represent Him.
Therefore in relation to this blog, I felt it necessary to change this blog description to being all things God, and all things Jesus Christ. And I want everybody to know that if you are searching to know God, or want to know about God, you can be confident that you will find important information about God here.
I do not know everything about God, nobody does, but I know a great deal about Him. I want to say I am a very good authority on knowing God, and I have authority of God to speak His Word.
I want you all to know that I am here through this blog to help you find God and get to Heaven. If you are seeking to know God, or you already know God and want to know more about Him you are using wisdom. You are doing a very wise thing.
As concerning another change to my blog, in my archive posts section, I changed the format temporarily. I wanted everyone to have easy search access to each post that I ever did, without having to scroll through a whole year of posts to find the beginning posts, etc.
You can now click on a specific month and day on the side, to easily link to my earlier or beginning post pages. Also, in my links section, I set up specific topics from some of my past post that I have posted that can be quickly found, which includes a post in my women's issues series first for the women or ladies out there, and then everyone else. I also have two posts that are linked to both my very first and second series about Jesus.
Those side link posts are extremely important even though they are archive. As, time goes on, I do not want those archive posts to be to far buried in the blog and forgotten about. That is why I want everyone to easily be able to find them. See, I think about all those kinds of things.
The archive change is temporary for now, but may become permanent if I do not run out of vertical space on that side. I may have to switch it back, but we will see. I am kind of hoping that the blogger people will create a way where we can list many of our archive post by title. If not, that is okay, the blogger people have done a good job with the template formats already.
I may make other changs in the future, but I want to PRESENT everything in a UPRIGHT or GODLY fashion.
The Lord spoke to me again concerning somethings about women. It is the things concerning women I want to further add from what I said previously in the women's issues in posts awhile back.
The Lord was speaking to me confirming that was still a go. I said yes. So, it is coming soon. Women, you all are something else. The Lord led me here primarily because of you, women.
The Lord told me because of you, women, that I needed to get online and start talking real quick. I will say more about that when the time comes. I am very anxious to get back to talking about women, but I have to be patient. I will continue this series on God and wisdom, with the scriptures, in part 3 next.

God and Wisdom Part 1
Hello World:
I am very excited to post what God has given me in this new series. I will talk about God, knowing God, and what it means to have wisdom and knowledge. This series kind of goes together with the last series. I know I will have several posts here, because I have alot of scriptures to present.
This is the post series I was talking about awhile ago, that will have all the scriptures. I believe one of the posts will be a whole chapter from the Bible. So, I pray that everyone reading this information, I received from the Lord, will get an understanding of everything I present.
First scripture reference is Psalms 111:10; "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do His commandments: His praise endureth forever."
Proverbs 9:10; "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding."
Proverbs 1:7; "The Fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction."
Okay, the Lord wants me to define wisdom, and speak comparitively about knowledge. The Lord wants me to discuss the worth of wisdom and knowledge. Also, the Lord wants me to explain how having wisdom and knowledge relates to Him, as God.
I was doing some research into definitions on wisdom, and pretty much all the definitions I came across were very vague or unclear. The meanings were clouded. So, what I wanted to do is come up with a clear definition of wisdom that everybody can understand.
The primary discussion in this post being wisdom, and secondarily knowledge. When I developed a definition on wisdom, I found that the meaning of wisdom is vast, and requires more than one statement or sentence to describe. My definition of wisdom is as follows below in the next paragraphs here.
Wisdom and knowledge are interchangeable; however, wisdom overshadows knowledge, in that wisdom is the ability to use knowledge in the right way or manner.
The Lord told me this post series is for ALL GENERATIONS of people of all walks of life; both now and in the future, who inhabit the earth. First, to know there is a God "BY FAITH" is the beginning of wisdom. So, to have wisdom a person has to know or understand there is a One All-Powerful God that exists, or intelligent Creator of all things, and have fear or reverence of this God. Having wisdom and knowing that there is a God goes together.
You can have knowledge about other things, anything, somethings, or everything, but at the same time not know how to use that knowledge properly. Wisdom is the HOW TO APPLY PHASE of knowledge. Wisdom propogates or nourishes life, and anything without wisdom, including knowledge will die or cease. Anything without wisdom will waste away, and become meaningless to life and to God.
Wisdom is on a higher level of consciousness, and is on a higher level than knowledge. Knowledge depends on wisdom to survive, whereas wisdom does not depend on knowledge in the same manner. Wisdom, on several occassions, is NOT defined by age or being old or old age. To Reinterate, to accept within oneself that his or her faith or belief in God is fact is wisdom. Again from above, when you fear the Lord you are using wisdom.
Wisdom is a gift that extends beyond the physical realm and into the spiritual realm. Wisdom is a gift that is forever like love. Who will grab hold of it? Who will attain it? Who will ask for wisdom?
