Proverbs 2:1-9
1-My son, if you receive my words,
And treasure my commands within you,
2-So that you incline your ear to wisdom,
And apply your heart to understanding;
3-Yes, if you cry out for discernment,
And lift up your voice for understanding,
4-If you seek her as silver,
And search for her as for hidden treasures;
5-Then you will understand the fear of the LORD,
And find the knowledge of God.
6-For the LORD gives wisdom;
From His mouth come knowledge and understanding;
7-He stores up sound wisdom for the upright;
He is a shield to those who walk uprightly;
8-He guards the paths of justice,
And preserves the way of His saints.
9-Then you will understand righteousness and justice,
Equity and every good path.
And treasure my commands within you,
2-So that you incline your ear to wisdom,
And apply your heart to understanding;
3-Yes, if you cry out for discernment,
And lift up your voice for understanding,
4-If you seek her as silver,
And search for her as for hidden treasures;
5-Then you will understand the fear of the LORD,
And find the knowledge of God.
6-For the LORD gives wisdom;
From His mouth come knowledge and understanding;
7-He stores up sound wisdom for the upright;
He is a shield to those who walk uprightly;
8-He guards the paths of justice,
And preserves the way of His saints.
9-Then you will understand righteousness and justice,
Equity and every good path.
