Midrash su Proverbi 8:12
אֲֽנִי־חָ֭כְמָה שָׁכַ֣נְתִּי עָרְמָ֑ה וְדַ֖עַת מְזִמּ֣וֹת אֶמְצָֽא׃
Mi diletto con prudenza e scopro la conoscenza dei dispositivi.
Ein Yaakov (Glick Edition)
(Ib. b) R. Elazar says: "Whoever teaches his daughter the Torah is as if he were teaching her frivolity." How is it possible that by teaching her the Torah, he teaches her frivolity? Said R. Abahu: "R. Elazar's reason is based on the following passage (Pr. 8, 12): I, wisdom dwell with prudence; i.e., as soon as wisdom enters a man he becomes prudent." But how will the Rabbis explain, I, wisdom dwell with prudence? This is needed to support the view of R. Jose b. R. Chanina. For R. Jose b. R. Chanina quoted: "The words of the Torah will not endure with one unless he is ready to strip himself of all other things, as it is said, I, wisdom dwell with prudence." R. Jochanan said: "The words of the Torah will not endure with one unless he admits that he does not know anything by himself, as it is said (Job. 28, 12) But wisdom, where shall it be formed?"
