Proverbs 2:2-13

21Make your ear attentive to wisdom; Incline your heart to understanding.3For if you cry out for insight, And 2raise your voice for understanding;4If you seek her as 3silver And search for her as for 4hidden treasures;5Then you will understand the 5fear of the Lord, And discover the knowledge of God.6For 6the Lord gives wisdom; From His mouth come knowledge and understanding.7He stores up sound wisdom for the upright; He is a 7shield to those who walk in integrity,8Guarding the paths of justice, And He 8watches over the way of His godly ones.9Then you will discern 9righteousness, justice, And integrity, and every 10good path.10For 11wisdom will enter your heart, And 12knowledge will be delightful to your soul;11Discretion will 13watch over you, Understanding will guard you,12To 14rescue you from the way of evil, From a person who speaks 15perverse things;13From those who 16leave the paths of uprightness To walk in the 17ways of darkness;
