Which verse reiterates that Wisdom is the principal thing and one should get understanding?

• A. Proverbs 3:5
• B. Proverbs 4:7
• C. 1 John 3:4
• D. 1 Corinthians 14:40

Answer: (B)

Wisdom is presented as the top priority for living well. The phrase “principal thing” marks wisdom as the most important value to pursue, shaping every decision and direction in life. The command to “get wisdom” is active—you’re urged to seek it with intentional effort, not wait for it to come passively.

The follow-up, “and with all thy getting get understanding,” deepens the call. It isnures that wisdom isn’t just knowledge; it needs understanding—the discernment to apply what you know in real situations. In Proverbs, this combination of wisdom with understanding is what guides righteous living and practical choices, making it the foundation for navigating life in a way that honors God.
