Steven J. Lawson gives the following verses in the truthfulness/veracity section of his Attributes of God video series produced by Ligonier Ministries: Ps 119:89, 105; Isa 40:8; Mt 5:18; Lk 16:17; Jn 8:44; Ro 10:13–17; 2Ti 2:15; Jas 1:22; Jude 1:3. These made sense in the context because he very clearly connected God with his Word, but sticking them on this topic page makes less sense to me. Is there a sensible way to incorporate them into this topic?

More passages on wisdom
Steven Lawson defines God’s wisdom as his seeking the highest ends by the highest means. To demonstrate God’s wisdom in these terms, he cites several verses about creation to show that God seeks the highest end, his own glory: Ps 19:1; Ro 1:20. He also cites several portions of Job to show God’s wisdom in his care over and ordering of all things: end of Job; Ge 50:20; Ac 17:26–27; Ro 8:28. Lastly he talks of God’s wisdom in salvation: 1Co 1:27.
Impassibility
A great article on impassibility: Tis Mystery All, the Immortal Dies: Why the Gospel of Christ’s Suffering is More Glorious Because God Does Not Suffer by Kevin DeYoung.
I also have saved to my Dropbox an article of DeYoung’s that appeared in the Westminster Theological Journal.
