Dr John Celes - Sonnet: God's Wisdom

Never assume you're wise at any age;
Become a fool to gather wisdom then;
No one is wise in life at any stage;
Wisdom comes from the fear of God from heav'n.

Like King Solomon, ask God for wisdom;
God liberally gives to those who seek;
Only the fool believes in much freedom;
The one who's wise with good conduct is meek.

Knowledge isn't better than wisdom at all;
Oh, woe to those who're wise in their own eyes;
The pride of fools leads them to every fall;
The Holy Spirit teaches one be wise.

Wisdom from God can give success always;
Wisdom in excess grants heavenly gaze.
