Give me knowledge and good sense; for I have put my faith in your teachings.

Make the way of your orders clear to me; then my thoughts will be ever on your wonders.

I am your servant; give me wisdom, so that I may have knowledge of your unchanging word.

But if any man among you is without wisdom, let him make his request to God, who gives freely to all without an unkind word, and it will be given to him.

And God said to him, Because your request is for this thing, and not for long life for yourself or for wealth or for the destruction of your haters, but for wisdom to be a judge of causes; I have done as you said: I have given you a wise and far-seeing heart, so that there has never been your equal in the past, and never will there be any like you in the future.
