Proverbs 7:7

7:7 and I saw among the naive –

I discerned among the youths

a young man who lacked wisdom.

Genesis 39:9-10

39:9 There is no one greater in this household than I am. He has withheld nothing from me except you because you are his wife.

Genesis 41:39

41:39 So Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Because God has enabled you to know all this, there is no one as wise and discerning as you are!

Ecclesiastes 7:25-26

True Righteousness and Wisdom are Virtually Nonexistent

and to understand the stupidity of wickedness and the insanity of folly.

7:26 I discovered this:

her heart is like a hunter’s net and her hands are like prison chains.

The man who pleases God escapes her,

but the sinner is captured by her.

5:8 They are like lusty, well-fed stallions.

Each of them lusts after his neighbor’s wife.

Jeremiah 5:21

you foolish people who have no understanding,

who have eyes but do not discern,

who have ears but do not perceive:

Romans 1:22-24

1:22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools 1:23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for an image resembling mortal human beings or birds or four-footed animals or reptiles.

1:24 Therefore God gave them over in the desires of their hearts to impurity, to dishonor their bodies among themselves.
