Proverbs 2:5

1My son, if you will receive my words, and store up my commandments within you,

2so as to turn your ear to wisdom, and apply your heart to understanding;

3yes, if you call out for discernment, and lift up your voice for understanding;

4if you seek her as silver, and search for her as for hidden treasures;

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

6For the LORD gives wisdom. Out of his mouth comes knowledge and understanding.

7He lays up sound wisdom for the upright. He is a shield to those who walk in integrity,

8that he may guard the paths of justice, and preserve the way of his saints.

9Then you will understand righteousness and justice, equity and every good path.
