1 Kings 3:28
3:28 When all Israel heard about the judicial decision which the king had rendered, they respected
the king, for they realized
that he possessed supernatural wisdom
to make judicial decisions.
Psalms 72:1-2
Psalm 72

and your oppressed ones equitably.
Proverbs 14:8
14:8 The wisdom of the shrewd person is to discern his way,

Ecclesiastes 7:11

7:11 Wisdom, like an inheritance, is a good thing;
it benefits those who see the light of day.
Ecclesiastes 7:19
Wisdom Needed Because No One is Truly Righteous
7:19 Wisdom gives a wise person more protection
than ten rulers in a city.
Ecclesiastes 9:15-18
9:15 However, a poor but wise man lived in the city,
and he could have delivered the city by his wisdom,
but no one listened to that poor man.
9:16 So I concluded that wisdom is better than might,
but a poor man’s wisdom is despised; no one ever listens to his advice.
Wisdom versus Fools, Sin, and Folly
9:17 The words of the wise are heard in quiet,
more than the shouting of a ruler is heard among fools.
9:18 Wisdom is better than weapons of war,
but one sinner can destroy much that is good.
John 5:30
5:30 I can do nothing on my own initiative.
Just as I hear, I judge, and my judgment is just,
because I do not seek my own will, but the will of the one who sent me.
