Proverbs 2:4-9

4if you search for wisdom as if it were money and hunt for it as if it were hidden treasure,

5then you will understand the fear of the Lord and you will find the knowledge of God.

6The Lord gives wisdom. From his mouth come knowledge and understanding.

7He has reserved priceless wisdom for decent people. He is a shield for those who walk in integrity

8in order to guard those on paths of justice and to watch over the way of his godly ones.

9Then you will understand what is right and just and fair— every good course ⌞in life⌟.
