1 Kings 10:8

³⁴Blessed is the man who hears me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at my door posts.

²¹The lips of the righteous feed many, but the foolish die for lack of understanding.

³¹The Queen of the South will rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation and will condemn them, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, one greater than Solomon is here.

²⁸But he said, “On the contrary, blessed are those who hear the word of God, and keep it.”

¹³Happy is the man who finds wisdom, the man who gets understanding. ¹⁴For her good profit is better than getting silver, and her return is better than fine gold.

²⁰One who walks with wise men grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm.

⁷Happy are your men, and happy are these your servants, who stand continually before you and hear your wisdom. ⁸Blessed be the LORD your God, who delighted in you and set you on his throne to be king for the LORD your God, because your God loved Israel, to establish them forever. Therefore he made you king over them, to do justice and righteousness.”

³⁹She had a sister called Mary, who also sat at Jesus’ feet and heard his word. ⁴⁰But Martha was distracted with much serving, and she came up to him, and said, “Lord, don’t you care that my sister left me to serve alone? Ask her therefore to help me.”

⁴¹Jesus answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things, ⁴²but one thing is needed. Mary has chosen the good part, which will not be taken away from her.”
