Proverbs 2:1-7 ▼

1 My son, if you will receive my words And treasure my commandments within you,

2 To make your ear pay attention to wisdom, Incline your heart to discernment;

3 For if you call out for understanding, Give your voice for discernment;

4 If you seek her as silver And search for her as for hidden treasures;

5 Then you will understand the fear of Yahweh And find the knowledge of God.

6 For Yahweh gives wisdom; From His mouth come knowledge and discernment.

7 He stores up sound wisdom for the upright, A shield to those who walk in integrity,
