Proverbs 2:1-9

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.
