Proverbs 2:1-8

1My sonH1121, if thou wilt receiveH3947 my wordsH561, And lay up my commandmentsH4687 with thee;2So as to inclineH5186 thine earH241 unto wisdomH2451, And apply thy heartH3820 to understandingH8394;3Yea, if thou cry after discernmentH998, And lift up thy voiceH6963 for understandingH8394;4If thou seekH1245 her as silverH3701, And searchH1245 for her as for hid treasures:5ThenH227 shalt thou understandH995 the fearH3374 of Jehovah, And findH4672 the knowledgeH1847 of GodH430.6For Jehovah giveth wisdomH2451; Out of his mouthH6310 cometh knowledgeH1847 and understandingH8394:7He layeth up soundH8454 wisdomH8454 for the uprightH3477; He isa shieldH4043 to them that walkH1980 in integrityH8537;8That he may guardH8104 the pathsH734 of justiceH4941, And preserveH5341 the wayH1870 of his saints.
