Proverbs 2:1-7 ▼

1 My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and wilt hide my commandments with thee,

2 That thy ear may hearken to wisdom: Incline thy heart to know prudence:

3 For if thou shalt call for wisdom, and incline thy heart to prudence:

4 If thou shalt seek her as money, and shalt dig for her as for a treasure:

5 Then shalt thou understand the fear of the Lord, and shalt find the knowledge of God.

6 Because the Lord giveth wisdom: and out of his mouth cometh prudence and knowledge.

7 He will keep the salvation of the righteous, and protect them that walk in simplicity.
