GOD GIVES THE WISDOM OF ARTISTRY AND CRAFTSMANSHIP OF ALL KIND

Exo 35:30-35 KJV)
And Moses said unto the children of Israel,
See, the LORD hath called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah;
{31} And he hath filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding,
and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship;
{32} And to devise curious works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass,
{33} And in the cutting of stones, to set them, and in carving of wood, to make any manner of cunning work.
{34} And he hath put in his heart that he may teach,
both he, and Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan.
{35} Them hath he filled with wisdom of heart,
to work all manner of work, of the engraver, and of the cunning workman,
and of the embroiderer, in blue, and in purple, in scarlet, and in fine linen,
and of the weaver, even of them that do any work, and of those that devise cunning work.

WISDOM REVEALS ITS MANY BENEFITS
Prov 8:5- (KJV)
{5} O ye simple, understand wisdom:
and, ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart.
{6} Hear; for I will speak of excellent things;
and the opening of my lips shall be right things.

{7} For my mouth shall speak truth;
and wickedness is an abomination to my lips.
{8} All the words of my mouth are in righteousness;
there is nothing froward or perverse in them.
{9} They are all plain to him that understandeth,
and right to them that find knowledge.

{10} Receive my instruction, and not silver;
and knowledge rather than choice gold.
{11} For wisdom is better than rubies;
and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.
{12} I wisdom dwell with prudence,
and find out knowledge of witty inventions.

{13} The fear of the LORD is to hate evil:
pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way,
and the froward{Heb=morally perverse}mouth, do I hate.

{14} Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom:
I am understanding; I have strength.
{15} By me kings reign, and princes decree justice.
{16} By me princes rule, and nobles, even all the judges of the earth.
{17} I love them that love me;
and those that seek me early shall find me.
{18} Riches and honour are with me;
yea, durable riches and righteousness.
{19} My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold;
and my revenue than choice silver.

{20} I lead in the way of righteousness,
in the midst of the paths of judgment:
{21} That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance{Heb=real existence};
and I will fill their treasures.

{22} The LORD possessed me{wisdom} in the beginning of his way,
before his works of old.
{23} I was set up{Heb=poured out as an anointing oil} from everlasting,
from the beginning, or ever the earth was.
{24} When there were no depths, I was brought forth;
when there were no fountains abounding with water.
{25} Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth:
{26} While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields,
nor the highest part of the dust of the world.

{27} When he prepared the heavens, I was there:
when he set a compass upon the face of the depth:
{28} When he established the clouds above:
when he strengthened the fountains of the deep:
{29} When he gave to the sea his decree,
that the waters should not pass his commandment:
when he appointed the foundations of the earth:
{30} Then I was by him, as one brought up with him:
and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him;
{31} Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth;
and my delights were with the sons of men.

{32} Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children:
for blessed are they that keep my ways.
{33} Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not.
{34} Blessed is the man that heareth me,
watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.
{35} For whoso findeth me findeth life,
and shall obtain favour of the LORD.
{36} But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul:
all they that hate me love death.

WISDOM REVEALS MORE OF ITS BENEFITS

Prov 3:13-24 (KJV)
Happy is the man that findeth wisdom,
and the man that getteth understanding.
{14} For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver,
and the gain thereof than fine gold.
{15} She is more precious than rubies:
and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.
{16} Length of days is in her right hand;
and in her left hand riches and honour.
{17} Her ways are ways of pleasantness,
and all her paths are peace.
{18} She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her:
and happy is every one that retaineth her.

{19} The LORD by wisdom hath founded the earth;
by understanding hath he established the heavens.
{20} By his knowledge the depths are broken up,
and the clouds drop down the dew.

{21} My son, let not them depart from thine eyes:
keep sound wisdom and discretion:
{22} So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck.
{23} Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely,
and thy foot shall not stumble.
{24} When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid:
yea, thou shalt lie down,
and thy sleep shall be sweet.
