"If it is the Will of the great Lord,
he will be filled with a Spirit of intelligence;
then he will pour forth wise sayings of his own
and give thanks to the Lord in prayer."
(Ecclesiasticus 39:6 NEB).

those who have drained out the wrath of God are full of understanding.

Those expecting their earthly father to be faultless will experience disappointment.

Demanding much from others, while giving little in return, is a sin.
