Moral Benefits of Wisdom
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.
