Where is Wisdom?

"Whence then cometh wisdom? And where is the place of understanding?.... God understandeth the way thereof, and He knoweth the place thereof.... And unto man He said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding" (Job 28:20-28). "The Lord is good to all.... The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon Him, to all that call upon Him in truth. He will fulfill the desire of them that fear Him: He also will hear their cry, and will save them" (Psalm 145:9,18,19).

Where is the spring from where wisdom bursts?
Where is the place of right understanding?
Come, every one who hungers and thirsts:
God has the answers your soul is demanding.

The place of God's wisdom cannot be confined
To rich or to poor, to old or to youth:
To all those who fear Him, He's loving and kind,
To those who will call upon Him in truth.

True wisdom is found in God's holy fear;
Each one who will fear Him, the Lord satisfies.
To all them who call upon Him, He is near,
To hear and to save His child who cries.
