Kenneth Copeland — Wisdom and Knowledge, From The Lord
2 Chronicles 1:12
KJV—Wisdom and knowledge is granted to
thee; and I will give thee riches and wealth,
and honour, such as none of the kings have
had that have been before thee, neither
shall there any after thee have the like.
Amp—Wisdom and knowledge are
granted you, and I will give you riches, possessions,
honor and glory, such as none of
the kings had before you, and none after
you shall have their equal.
Moffatt—Wisdom and intelligence I give
you, and I will add riches, wealth, and honour
such as no king before you ever had,
and no king after you will ever have.
NIV—Therefore wisdom and knowledge
will be given you. And I will also give you
wealth, riches and honor, such as no king
who was before you ever had and none
after you will have.
Proverbs 2:6-7
KJV—For the Lord giveth wisdom: out of
his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.
He layeth up sound wisdom for
the righteous: he is a buckler to them that
walk uprightly.
Amp—For the Lord gives skillful and godly
Wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge
and understanding. He hides away sound
and godly Wisdom and stores it for the
righteous—those who are upright and in
right standing with Him; He is a shield to
those who walk uprightly and in integrity.
Moffatt—For it is the Eternal who supplies
wisdom, from him come insight and knowledge,
he has help ready for the upright, he
is a shield for those who live honestly.
NIV—For the Lord gives wisdom, and
from his mouth come knowledge and
understanding. He holds victory in store for
the upright, he is a shield to those whose
walk is blameless.
Proverbs 3:13-18
KJV—Happy is the man that findeth wisdom,
and the man that getteth understanding.
For the merchandise of it is better than
the merchandise of silver, and the gain
thereof than fine gold. She is more precious
than rubies: and all the things thou canst
desire are not to be compared unto her.
Length of days is in her right hand; and in
her left hand riches and honour. Her ways
are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths
are peace. She is a tree of life to them that
lay hold upon her: and happy is every one
that retaineth her.
Amp—Happy—blessed, fortunate [enviable]—
is the man who finds skillful and godly Wisdom,
and the man who gets understanding—
drawing it forth [from God’s Word and life’s
experiences]. For the gaining of it is better
than the gaining of silver, and the profit of it
than fine gold. Skillful and godly Wisdom is
more precious than rubies, and nothing you
can wish for is to be compared to her.
Length of days is in her right hand, and in
her left hand are riches and honor. Her
ways are highways of pleasantness, and all
her paths are peace. She is a tree of life to
those who lay hold on her, and happy—
blessed, fortunate [to be envied]—is every
one who holds her fast.
NIV—Blessed is the man who finds
wisdom, the man who gains understanding,
for she is more profitable than silver and
yields better returns than gold. She is more
precious than rubies; nothing you desire
can compare with her. Long life is in her
right hand; in her left hand are riches and
honor. Her ways are pleasant ways, and all
her paths are peace. She is a tree of life to
those who embrace her; those who lay
hold of her will be blessed.
