Proverbs 6:22-24
When you walk, their counsel will lead you. When you sleep, they will protect you. When you wake up, they will advise you.For their command is a lamp and their instruction a light; their corrective discipline is the way to life.It will keep you from the immoral woman, from the smooth tongue of a promiscuous woman.

Psalms 119:9-11
How can a young person stay pure? By obeying your word.I have tried hard to find you— don’t let me wander from your commands.I have hidden your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you.

Ecclesiastes 9:15-18
A poor, wise man knew how to save the town, and so it was rescued. But afterward no one thought to thank him.So even though wisdom is better than strength, those who are wise will be despised if they are poor. What they say will not be appreciated for long.Better to hear the quiet words of a wise person than the shouts of a foolish king.Better to have wisdom than weapons of war, but one sinner can destroy much that is good.
