Proverbs 2:1-6

1 My son, if you will take my words to your heart, storing up my laws in your mind;

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

2 So that your ear gives attention to wisdom, and your heart is turned to knowledge;

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

3 Truly, if you are crying out for good sense, and your request is for knowledge;

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

4 If you are looking for her as for silver, and searching for her as for stored-up wealth;

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

5 Then the fear of the Lord will be clear to you, and knowledge of God will be yours.

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

6 For the Lord gives wisdom; out of his mouth come knowledge and reason:

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