Isaiah 55:11 says, “So shall my…

That’s why we put such a high priority on a good education, and we would agree that “fools despise wisdom and instruction.” But without God, there is no knowledge. I Samuel 2:3 says, “…for the LORD is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed.” …
“The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.” Psalm 111:10 KJV Those with God’s wisdom obey his commandments, which means that they have good understanding.
