[careful, thorough search]

Hunting for wisdom, we find God…Following after God, He gives wisdom!

Yep…righteousness & justice (eternal and ‘social’) & integrity—every good path!
“And knowledge will delight you.”

From two distractors (tempters): (1) the evil, criminal person; (2) from the forbidden woman (a.k.a.
