Proverbs 8:13, "The fear of the Lord is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate."
Before that Proverbs 8:1, 7-8, "Doth not wisdom cry? and understanding put forth her voice?
For my mouth shall speak truth; and wickedness is an abomination to my lips. All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; there is nothing froward or perverse in them."
Now here is something we can ask for, and it shall be given, according as it is written in James 1:5-7, " 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.
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.
For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord."
Vines says "the prerequisite is a desire to follow and imitate God as He has revealed Himself in Jesus Christ, without self reliance, and especially not in a spirit of pride."
It is best to repent when the call is made, and you deal with it now with the LORD, and suffer the temporal loss which might be a little temporary discomfort, but in the end will yield the peaceful fruit of righteousness.; Best do it this way, than have the LORD Himself chastise and strip things from you that you were not willing to sacrifice for His name's sake.
Thus wisdom is something that should be zealously sought after, and kept close!
