Proverbs 2:1-9

1My son, if thou receivest my words, and layest up my commandments with thee,

2so that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom [and] thou apply thy heart to understanding;

3yea, if thou criest after discernment [and] liftest up thy voice to understanding;

4if thou seekest her as silver and searchest for her as for hidden treasures:

5then shalt thou understand the fear of Jehovah, and find the knowledge of 1God.

6For Jehovah giveth wisdom; out of his mouth [come] knowledge and understanding.

7He layeth up sound wisdom for the upright; [he] is a shield to them that walk in integrity;

8guarding the paths of just judgment and keeping the way of his 2godly ones.

9Then shalt thou understand righteousness and judgment and equity: every good path.
