Wisdom is gentle and full of good will,
Humble and peaceable, quiet and still.
It will not waver or be “pushed around”.
Wisdom well-learned with love will abound.
Wisdom is deep and rests in the heart.
Wisdom is careful and sets one apart.
It will not mix with confusion or strife,
For it cannot function where “upsets” are rife.
The beauty of wisdom, when it is in place,
Is expression of mercy, of kindness and grace.
Studying always its merits to learn
Will bring understanding and precious return.
“Who is there among you who is wise and intelligent? Then
let him by his noble living show forth his (good)
works with the (unobtrusive) humility (which
is the proper attribute) of wisdom."
James 3:13 Amplified Bible
But the wisdom from above is first of all pure (undefiled); then it is
peace-loving, courteous (considerate, gentle). (It is willing to)
yield to reason, full of compassion and good fruits; it is
whole-hearted and straightforward, impartial and
unfeigned - free from doubts, wavering and insincerity.”
James 3:17 Amplified Bible
