Proverbs 2:1-9

1My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and treasure my commandments with thee; 2So that thou incline thy ear to wisdom, and apply thy heart to understanding; 3Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding;1 4If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures; 5Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God. 6For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding. 7He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a shield to them that walk uprightly. 8He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints. 9Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; and, every good path.
