Proverbs 2:1-8 ▼

1 My sonne, if thou wilt receiue my wordes, and hide my commandements within thee,

2 And cause thine eares to hearken vnto wisdome, and encline thine heart to vnderstanding,

3 (For if thou callest after knowledge, and cryest for vnderstanding:

4 If thou seekest her as siluer, & searchest for her as for treasures,

5 Then shalt thou vnderstand the feare of the Lord, and finde the knowledge of God.

6 For the Lorde giueth wisdome, out of his mouth commeth knowledge and vnderstanding.

7 He preserueth the state of the righteous: he is a shielde to them that walke vprightly,

8 That they may keepe the wayes of iudgement: and he preserueth the way of his Saintes)
