Proverbs 2:1-11

The Webster Bible WBT

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

2 So that thou incline thy ear to wisdom, [and] apply thy heart to understanding;

3 Yes, if thou criest after knowledge, [and] liftest up thy voice for understanding;

4 If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as [for] hid treasures;

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

6 For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth [cometh] knowledge and understanding.

7 He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: [he is] a buckler to them that walk uprightly.

8 He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints.

9 Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; [and] every good path.

10 When wisdom entereth into thy heart, and knowledge is pleasant to thy soul;

11 Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee:

2 turning your ear to wisdom and applying your heart to understanding—

3 indeed, if you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding,

4 and if you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure,

5 then you will understand the fear of the LORDand find the knowledge of God.

6 For the LORD gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.

7 He holds success in store for the upright, he is a shield to those whose walk is blameless,

8 for he guards the course of the just and protects the way of his faithful ones.

9 Then you will understand what is right and just and fair—every good path.

10 For wisdom will enter your heart, and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul.

11 Discretion will protect you, and understanding will guard you.
