16  Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore ^bwise as serpents, and harmless as doves.

  28  Be ^awise in the days of your probation; strip yourselves of all uncleanness; ask not, that ye may consume it on your lusts, but ask with a firmness unshaken, that ye will yield to no temptation, but that ye will serve the true and living God.

  12  Behold, I have done according to thy words: lo, I have given thee a ^bwise and an understanding heart; so that there was none like thee before thee, neither after thee shall any arise like unto thee.

  2  I will behave myself ^awisely in a perfect way. O when wilt thou come unto me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.

  11  While I was laboring under the extreme difficulties caused by the contests of these parties of religionists, I was one day reading the Epistle of James, first chapter and fifth verse, which reads: If any of you lack wisdom, let ^bhim ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
