Proverbs 2:1-6

Wycliffe WYC

1 My son, if thou receivest my words, and hidest my behests with thee (and hidest my commands with thee);

2 (so) that thine ear hear wisdom, bow (down) thine heart to know prudence.

3 For if thou inwardly callest (to) wisdom, and bowest thine heart to(ward) prudence;

4 if thou seekest it as money, and diggest it out as treasures;

5 then thou shalt understand the dread of the Lord, and shalt find the knowing of God. (then thou shalt understand the fear of the Lord/then thou shalt understand reverence for the Lord, and shalt find the knowledge of God.)

6 For the Lord giveth wisdom; and prudence and knowing is of his mouth. (For the Lord giveth wisdom; and understanding and knowledge cometh from his mouth.)

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.
