2:1-4 While wisdom is readily available to all, the active words such as “accept,” “store up,” “call out,” “search for” make it clear that the disciple must be focused and diligent in the quest for it.
2:5-6 The search for wisdom begins with an attitude of reverent submission to God (“the fear of the LORD”). It continues with the disciple’s persistence and diligence, and it actually leads to the knowledge of God. This outcome is assured because God reveals himself to those who diligently seek him. The rest of chap. 2 describes the benefits and outcomes that result from this serious pursuit of wisdom.
