Discerning

Now, therefore, Pharaoh should look for a discerning and wise man and set him over the land of Egypt.

Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Since God has made all this known to you, there is no one as discerning and wise as you.

…behold, I will do what you have asked. I will give you a wise and discerning heart, so that there will never have been another like you, nor will there ever be.

…let the wise listen and gain instruction, and the discerning acquire wise counsel

They are all plain to the discerning, and upright to those who find knowledge.

Wisdom is found on the lips of the discerning, but a rod is for the back of him who lacks judgment.

A mocker seeks wisdom and finds none, but knowledge comes easily to the discerning.

Wisdom rests in the heart of the discerning; even among fools she is known.

A discerning heart seeks knowledge, but the mouth of a fool feeds on folly.

The wise in heart are called discerning, and pleasant speech promotes instruction.

Wisdom is the focus of the discerning, but the eyes of a fool wander to the ends of the earth.

Even a fool is considered wise if he keeps silent, and discerning when he holds his tongue.

The heart of the discerning acquires knowledge, and the ear of the wise seeks it out.

Strike a mocker, and the simple will beware; rebuke the discerning man, and he will gain knowledge.

A discerning son keeps the law, but a companion of gluttons disgraces his father.

He changes the times and seasons; He removes kings and establishes them. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning.

Whoever is wise, let him understand these things; whoever is discerning, let him know them. For the ways of the LORD are right, and the righteous walk in them but the rebellious stumble in them.
