proverbs Chapter 2 1-11

My son, if you will receive my words,
and hide my commands within you,
so that you incline your ear to wisdom,
and apply your heart to understanding;
Yes, if you cry after knowledge,
and lift up your voice for understanding;
if you seek her as silver,
and search for her as for hidden treasure;
Then shall you understand the fear of the LORD,
and find the knowledge of God.
For the LORD gives wisdom:
out of his mouth comes knowledge and understanding.
He lays up sound wisdom for the righteous:
he is a shield to them that walk uprightly.
He keeps the paths of judgement,
and preserves the way of his saints.
Then will you understand
righteousness, and judgement, and equity;
yes, every good path.
For wisdom will enter your heart,
and knowledge is pleasant to your soul;
discretion will preserve you,
understanding shall keep you.
