Proverbs 2:1-6 ▼

1 My son, if thou receivest my words, and layest up my commandments with thee,

2 so that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom [and] thou apply thy heart to understanding;

3 yea, if thou criest after discernment [and] liftest up thy voice to understanding;

4 if thou seekest her as silver and searchest for her as for hidden treasures:

5 then shalt thou understand the fear of Jehovah, and find the knowledge of God.

6 For Jehovah giveth wisdom; out of his mouth [come] knowledge and understanding.
