WISDOM:
2nd Chronicles 1:8) And Solomon said unto God, Thou hast shewed great mercy unto David my father, and hast made me to reign in his stead.
9 .) Now, O LORD God, let thy promise unto David my father be established: for thou hast made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in multitude.
10 .) Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people: for who can judge this thy people, that is so great?
11 .) And God said to Solomon, Because this was in thine heart, and thou hast not asked riches, wealth, or honour, nor the life of thine enemies, neither yet hast asked long life; but hast asked wisdom and knowledge for thyself, that thou mayest judge my people, over whom I have made thee king:
12 .) Wisdom and knowledge is granted unto 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.
Ecclesiastes 7:19) Wisdom strengtheneth the wise more than ten mighty men which are in the city.
20 .) For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not.
21 .) Also take no heed unto all words that are spoken; lest thou hear thy servant curse thee:
22 .) For oftentimes also thine own heart knoweth that thou thyself likewise hast cursed others.
23 .) All this have I proved by wisdom: I said, I will be wise; but it was far from me.
24 .) That which is far off, and exceeding deep, who can find it out?
25 .) I applied mine heart to know, and to search, and to seek out wisdom, and the reason of things, and to know the wickedness of folly, even of foolishness and madness:
(so many in Proverbs, just going to list Chapter/Verse)

Ephesians 5:14) Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.
15 .) See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,
16 .) Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
17 .) Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.
1st Corinthians 1:23) But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;
24 .) But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
25 .) Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
26 .) For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:
27 .) But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;
28 .) And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:
29 .) That no flesh should glory in his presence.
30 .) But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:
31 .) That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
James 1:1) James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.
2 .) My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;
3 .) Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
4 .) But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
5 .) If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
6 .) But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.
AND MY FAVORITE:
Job 28:28) And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the LORD, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.
