The same thing, one to another regarding, - not the lofty things regarding, but, by the lowly, being led along. Be not getting presumptuous in your own opinion:

Thus shall Bezaleel and Oholiab work, and every man that is wise-hearted, in whom Yahweh hath put wisdom and understanding, to know how to work any manner of workmanship for the holy service, - according to all that Yahweh hath commanded.

and have filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom and in understanding, and in knowledge and in all manner of workmanship; to devise skilful designs, to work in gold and in silver, and in bronze; and in the cutting of stones for setting, and in the carving of wood, - to work in all manner of workmanship,

and filled him with the spirit of God, - in, wisdom in understanding and in knowledge, and in all manner of execution; to devise skilful designs, - to work in gold and in silver and in bronze; and in the cutting of stones for setting, and in the cutting of wood, - to work in any manner of skilful workmanship, read more.
To teach also, hath be put in his heart, the heart of him, and of Oholiab - son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan; hath filled them with wisdom of heart to work all manner of workmanship of cutter, and deviser and embroiderer, in blue and in purple, in crimson and in fine linen and of the weaver, - workers of any manner of workmanship, and devisers of skilful designs.

Wisdom, in the open place, soundeth forth, in the broadways, she raiseth her voice; At the head of bustling streets, she crieth aloud, - at the openings of the gates in the city - her sayings, she doth utter: - How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and, scoffers, in scoffing, delight them? and, dullards, hate knowledge? read more.
Will ye turn, at my reproof? Lo! I will pour out to you my spirit, I will make known my words to you. Because I called, and ye refused, I stretched out my hand, and no one regarded; But ye dismissed all my counsel, and, to my rebuke, would not yield, I also, at your calamity, will laugh, I will mock, when cometh your dread; When cometh as a crashing your dread, and, your calamity, as a storm-wind, overtaketh, when there come upon you, distress and anguish. Then, will they call me, but I will not answer, they will seek me diligently, but shall not find me. Because they hated knowledge, and, the reverence of Yahweh, did not choose; Consented not to my counsel, disdained all my rebuke, Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and, with their own counsels, be filled. For, the turning away of the simple, will slay them, - and, the carelessness of dullards, will destroy them. Whereas, he that hearkeneth unto me, shall dwell safely, and be at rest, without dread of misfortune.

Now, therefore, ye sons, hearken to me, for how happy are they who, to my ways, pay regard! Hear ye correction, and be wise, and do not neglect. How happy the man that doth hearken to me, - keeping guard at my doors, day by day, watching at the posts of my gates;

And, ye, have, an anointing, from the Holy One, - Ye all, know:

But, the wisdom from above, is - first pure, then peaceable, reasonable, easy to be entreated, fraught with mercy and good fruits, without partiality, without hypocrisy.

To acquire wisdom, how much better than gold! and, to get hold of understanding, more choice than silver!

Receive my correction, and not silver, and knowledge, rather than choicest gold. For better is wisdom, than ornaments of coral, and, no delightful things, can equal her. I, wisdom, inhabit shrewdness, - and, the knowledge of sagacious things, I gain. read more.
The reverence of Yahweh, is to hate wickedness: pride, arrogance, and the way of wickedness; And a mouth of perverse things, do I hate. Mine, are counsel, and effective working, I, am understanding, mine, is valour: By me, kings reign, and dignitaries decree righteousness; By me, rulers govern, and nobles - all the righteous judges: I love, them who love me, and, they who diligently seek me, find me: Riches and honour, are with me, lordly wealth, and righteousness; Better is my fruit, than gold - yea fine gold, and mine increase, than choice silver;

I myself, therefore, lo! I have given with him Oholiab, son of Ahisamach of the tribe of Dan, and in the heart of every one that is wise-hearted, have I put wisdom, - so shall they make all that I have commanded thee -

Thus shall Bezaleel and Oholiab work, and every man that is wise-hearted, in whom Yahweh hath put wisdom and understanding, to know how to work any manner of workmanship for the holy service, - according to all that Yahweh hath commanded.

To teach also, hath be put in his heart, the heart of him, and of Oholiab - son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan; hath filled them with wisdom of heart to work all manner of workmanship of cutter, and deviser and embroiderer, in blue and in purple, in crimson and in fine linen and of the weaver, - workers of any manner of workmanship, and devisers of skilful designs.

And Joseph answered Pharaoh saying, Not to me, doth it pertain! May, God grant in answer, the prosperity of Pharaoh!

And rescued him out of all his tribulations, and gave him favour and wisdom before Pharaoh king of Egypt; and he appointed him governor over Egypt and all his house.

Then said Joseph unto Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh, is, one. What God is about to do hath he announced to Pharaoh. The seven good heifers, are, seven years, and, the seven good ears are, seven years, - the dream, is, one. And the seven lean and uncomely heifers that were coming up after them, are seven years, and the seven lean ears, shrivelled by an east wind, will turn out to be - seven years of famine. read more.
The very word that I spake unto Pharaoh, what, God, is about to do, hath he showed unto Pharaoh. Lo! seven years, coming in, - of great plenty, in all the land of Egypt. Then shall arise seven years of famine, after them, so shall be forgotten all the plenty in the land of Egypt, - and the famine shall consume the land; neither shall the plenty in the land be discernible, because of that famine coming after, - for it shall be livery severe. And for that there was a repeating of the dream unto Pharaoh, twice, it is because the thing, is established, from God, and God is hastening to do it. Now, therefore, let Pharaoh look out a man discreet and wise, - and set him over the land of Egypt. Let Pharaoh do this, that he may appoint overseers over the land, - so shall he take up a fifth of the land of Egypt, during the seven years of plenty. And let them gather up all the food of these seven good years that are coming in, - and let them heap up corn under the hand of Pharaoh as food in cities so shall they keep it. So shall the food become a store for the land, for the seven years of famine which shall come about in the land of Egypt, - and the land shall not be cut off in the famine. And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, - and in the eyes of all his servants; and Pharaoh said unto his servants, - Can we find such a one, a man in whom is the Spirit of God? So Pharaoh said unto Joseph, After God hath made known unto thee all this, there is no one discreet and wise like thee.

Now, therefore, ye sons, hearken to me, for how happy are they who, to my ways, pay regard! Hear ye correction, and be wise, and do not neglect. How happy the man that doth hearken to me, - keeping guard at my doors, day by day, watching at the posts of my gates; read more.
For, he that findeth me, findeth life, and hath obtained favour from Yahweh;

How happy the man who hath found wisdom, and the man who draweth forth understanding,

A man who loveth wisdom, gladdeneth his father, but, a companion of harlots, destroyeth wealth.

I, wisdom, inhabit shrewdness, - and, the knowledge of sagacious things, I gain. The reverence of Yahweh, is to hate wickedness: pride, arrogance, and the way of wickedness; And a mouth of perverse things, do I hate. Mine, are counsel, and effective working, I, am understanding, mine, is valour: read more.
By me, kings reign, and dignitaries decree righteousness; By me, rulers govern, and nobles - all the righteous judges: I love, them who love me, and, they who diligently seek me, find me: Riches and honour, are with me, lordly wealth, and righteousness; Better is my fruit, than gold - yea fine gold, and mine increase, than choice silver; In the way of righteousness, I march along, in the middle of the paths of justice: That I may cause them who love me to inherit substance, and, their treasuries, I may fill.

The principal thing, is wisdom, acquire thou wisdom, With all thine acquisition, acquire thou understanding.

Do not become so very righteous, neither count thyself wise beyond measure, - wherefore shouldst thou destroy thyself?

When wisdom entereth thy heart, and, knowledge, to thy soul, is sweet, Discretion, shall watch over thee, understanding, shall preserve thee: - To rescue thee from the way of the wrongful, from the man that speaketh perverse things; read more.
From them who forsake the paths of rectitude, to walk in this ways of darkness; Who rejoice to do wrong, exult in the perversities of the wrongful; Whose paths, are twisted, and they are tortuous in their tracks: To rescue thee, from the woman that is a stranger, from the female unknown, who with her speeches seduceth; Who forsaketh the friend of her youth, and, the covenant of her God, hath forgotten; For she hath appointed, unto death, her house, and unto the shades, her courses; None who go in unto her, come back, neither attain they unto the paths of life: To the end that thou walk in the way of good men, and, the paths of the righteous, that thou observe.

And so thou didst trust in thy wickedness, Thou saidst, no one, seeth me, Thy wisdom and knowledge, the same, seduced thee, - Therefore saidst thou in thy heart, I am , and there is no one besides.

Unto you, O men, I call, and, my voice, is unto the sons of men; Understand, ye simple ones, shrewdness, and, ye dullards understand sense; Hear, for, princely things, will I speak, and the opening of my lips shall be of equity; For, faithfulness, shall my mouth softly utter, but, the abomination of my lips, shall be lawlessness; In righteousness, shall be all the sayings of my mouth, nothing therein, shall be crafty or perverse; All of them, shall be plain, to them who would understand, and just, to such as would gain knowledge.

Yahweh, had constituted me the beginning of his way, before his works, at the commencement of that time; At the outset of the ages, had I been established, in advance of the antiquities of the earth; When there was no resounding deep, I had been brought forth, when there were no fountains, abounding with water; Ere yet the mountains had been settled, before the hills, had I been brought forth; Or ever he had made the land and the wastes, or the top of the dry parts of the world: When he prepared the heavens, there, was I! When he decreed a vault upon the face of the resounding deep; When he made firm the skies above, when the fountains of the resounding deep, waxed strong; When he fixed for the sea its bound, that, the waters, should not go beyond his bidding, when he decreed the foundations of the earth: - Then became I beside him, a firm and sure worker, then became I filled with delight, day by day, exulting before him on every occasion; Exulting in the fruitful land of his earth, Yea, my fulness of delight, was with the sons of men.

Thus, saith Yahweh Let not, the wise man, glory in his wisdom, Neither let, the mighty man, glory, in his might, - Let not, the rich man, glory in his riches;

The wisdom of the prudent, is to understand his way, but, the folly of dullards, is a fraud.

Say unto wisdom, My sister, thou! and, an acquaintance, call thou, understanding:

Yet where can, Wisdom, be found? And where is the place of understanding? Mortal knoweth not the way thereof, neither can it be found in the land of the living; The resounding deep, hath said, It is not in me! And, the sea, hath said, It is not with me! read more.
Pure gold cannot be given in its stead, neither can silver he weighed as the value thereof; It cannot be put into the scales against the gold of Ophir, with costly onyx, or sapphire; Neither gold nor crystal can compare with it, nor can, the exchange thereof, be a vessel of pure gold, Coral or crystal, cannot be mentioned, Yea, a possession, is wisdom, above red coral; The topaz of Ethiopia cannot compare with it, Against purest gold, can it not be weighed.

Daniel responded, and said, Let the name of God be blessed from age to age, - in that wisdom and might, to him belong;

Who is wise, that he may understand these things? intelligent, that he may take knowledge of them? For, straightforward, are the ways of Yahweh, and, the righteous, shall travel therein, but, transgressors, shall stumble therein.

But, when King Herod heard, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him; read more.
and, assembling all the high-priests and scribes of the people, he was enquiring of them - Where is, the Christ, to be born? And, they, said to him, In Bethlehem of Judaea, - for, so, is it written through the prophet: And, thou, Bethlehem, land of Judah, by no means least, art thou, among the governors of Judah, - For, out of thee, shall one come forth to govern, Who shall shepherd my people Israel. Then Herod, privately, calling the wise men, ascertained from them the time of the appearing star; and sending them to Bethlehem, said - Go search out accurately concerning the child, - and, as soon as ye find it, bring report unto me, that, I also, may come and bow myself down to it. Now, they, hearing the king, went, and lo! the star which they had seen in the east, was going before them, until it went and stood over where the child was; and, seeing the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy; and, coming into the house, they saw the child, with Mary its mother, - and, falling down, prostrated themselves unto it, and, opening their treasures, offered unto it gifts - gold and frankincense and myrrh; and, being instructed by dream, not to return unto Herod, by another way, retired they unto their own country.

And, all the women whose hearts lifted them up with wisdom, span the goats-hair.

And account, our Lord's long suffering, to be salvation: - even as, our beloved brother Paul also, according to the wisdom given unto him, hath written unto you;

So then Moses called upon Bezaleel, and upon Oholiab, and upon every man that was wise-hearted, in whose heart Yahweh had put wisdom, - every one whose heart lifted him up, to draw near unto the work, to do it.

And, so Moses was trained in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in his words and works.
