Proverbs 2:1-6 ▼

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

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

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

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

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

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