Proverbs 2

1 My son, if thou wilt receive my words,

And hide my commandments with thee;

2 So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom,

And apply thine heart to understanding;

3 Yea, if thou criest after knowledge,

And liftest up thy voice for understanding;

4 If thou seekest her as silver,

And searchest for her as for hid treasures;

5 Then shalt thou understand the fear of the Lord,

And find the knowledge of God.

6 For the Lord giveth wisdom:

Out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.
