Behold, I have done according to thy words: lo, I have given thee a wise and an understanding heart; so that there was none like thee before thee, neither after thee shall any arise like unto thee.In his dream, Solomon asks God for wisdom. Pleased with the request, God bestows it on him.
~ King James version ~
Wisdom is not bestowed; it is learned.
~ possible Taoist alternative ~
No one can grant you or I wisdom. It is borne of experience, learnt from our successes and failures.
Wisdom without experience is hollow.
