Read Proverbs 4:7 in the NABRE onlineThe beginning of wisdom, get wisdom: and with all thy possession get understanding.
Reflection
The beginning of wisdom is this: get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding. The verse tells you to get wisdom and then tells you the price — everything. The cost is not a warning but a recommendation: it is worth more than you will pay.
