Proverbs 2:1-11

1My son, if thou wilt receive my words, And lay up my commandments with thee;2So as to incline thine ear unto wisdom, And apply thy heart to understanding;3Yea, if thou cry after discernment, And lift up thy voice for understanding;4If thou seek her as silver, And search for her as for hid treasures:5Then shalt thou understand the fear of Jehovah, And find the knowledge of God.6For Jehovah giveth wisdom; Out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding:7He layeth up sound wisdom for the upright; He isa shield to them that walk in integrity;8That he may guard the paths of justice, And preserve the way of his saints.9Then shalt thou understand righteousness and justice, And equity, yea, every good path.10For wisdom shall enter into thy heart, And knowledge shall be pleasant unto thy soul;11Discretion shall watch over thee; Understanding shall keep thee:
