Wisdom

"The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding."  (Proverbs 9:10)

"If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all menliberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.  (James 1:5)

"But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle,and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.  (James 3:17)

Wisdom
(Yirat Adonai) "Fear of the Lord"

She seeks the heart of no man, 
yet she yearns the desire only to be sought
Subdued to voices who are moved, 
by times catered to experienced thoughts.

Her peaceable and pleasant virtue is invaded,
 by the wicked in spirit at any cost
Often mistaken by rules in book theories,
 her precious treasures are mislead, and lost.

Her understanding is knowledgeably true,
with an up most intention to save
For it is she, Wisdom, in all cost,
that teaches knowledge to behave

Knowledge is a broad spectrum of notes
to the objective information
Wisdom is the Holy One's understanding
to the subjective application.

When you ask to receive her from the Father, 
with a pure heart you must be
She will beckon her fruits unto you and say,
"How wise of thee to seek me"

She will be given to serve under Him,
and He alone with righteousness
To guide you closer with His spirit,
and to teach you love and faithfulness.

"I am Wisdom, I abide prudently to give credence
I have knowledge, and discretion, aligned with ingenious
Fear the Lord, fear the Father, hate evil, and obstructive language
Dwell, and abide within me, I will keep thee heart from anguish
Righteous counsel, and sound judgments are obtained, inside my lowly tower
My Father created me in the beginning with His understanding, and incredible power."
