Prudence

I, wisdom, have dwelt with prudence, And a knowledge of devices I find out.

Every prudent one dealeth with knowledge, And a fool spreadeth out folly.

And of all things the end hath come nigh; be sober-minded, then, and watch unto the prayers,

and when He may come--the Spirit of truth--He will guide you to all the truth, for He will not speak from Himself, but as many things as He will hear He will speak, and the coming things He will tell you;

The prudent hath seen the evil, and is hidden, And the simple have passed on, and are punished.

The tongue of the wise maketh knowledge good, And the mouth of fools uttereth folly.

all things prove; that which is good hold fast;

and the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and remind you of all things that I said to you.
