Proverbs 2:1-6

Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible RHE

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.

New International Version NIV

1 My son, if you accept my words and store up my commands within you,

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.
