Bible Question: What is the difference between wisdom and understanding? |
Bible Answer: Greetings and welcome to the forum. The Bible says, Proverbs 4:7 Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding. (Bible Knowledge Commentary) 4:7-9. As stated in 3:13-15 “nothing” can compare with wisdom. Therefore it is supreme, well worth all the effort and cost involved in acquiring it. As wisdom is valued and loved (cf. 4:6), she gives honor (3:16), and an attractive life, pictured as a beautiful wreath (1:9) and a crown of splendor (used in 16:31 of gray hair, or age). The opposite is also implied: a foolish, unwise life is dishonorable, unattractive, and shameful. Solomon experienced both wisdom and folly and therefore both kinds of results. Psalm 119:104 Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way. Psalm 119:125 I am thy servant; give me understanding, that I may know thy testimonies. Psalm 119:130 The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple. Psalm 119:144 The righteousness of thy testimonies is everlasting: give me understanding, and I shall live. Psalm 119:169 Let my cry come near before thee, O LORD: give me understanding according to thy word. Proverbs 9:10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding. These are a few for a start; I hope you enjoy the forum. CDBJ. |
