The Value of Wisdom
2:1
My son, if you receive my words
and treasure up my commandments with you,
2
making your ear attentive to wisdom
and inclining your heart to understanding;
3
yes, if you call out for insight
and raise your voice for understanding,
4
if you seek it like silver
and search for it as for hidden treasures,
5
then you will understand the fear of the Lord
and find the knowledge of God.
6
For the Lord gives wisdom;
from his mouth come knowledge and understanding;
7
he stores up sound wisdom for the upright;
he is a shield to those who walk in integrity,
8
guarding the paths of justice
and watching over the way of his saints.
9
Then you will understand righteousness and justice
and equity, every good path;
