2 Tim 3:16 tells us that all scripture is inspired of God. Now inspiration has been stretched to mean dictate, encourage, to breathe, arouse, etc., etc. Whatever the meaning, scripture should contain divine wisdom. Have you ever had the hairs on the back of your head erect from one of these pearls? I used to think 'turn the other cheek' conveyed a great depth of wisdom till I realised masochists had probably been doing it for millenia. So the question is 'have you found a spine-tingler in the bible?' What line, phrase, verse seemed closest to divine? Folk wisdom doesn`t count.

Re: Close. Cigar and all.
Ding! Sorry, Iano, no cigar. All you are doing is extrapolating from words. No divine wisdom there.

Ding! Sorry, Peg (welcome, btw), no-um-new shoes. Common sense folk wisdom.
