Provérbios 2

The Pursuit of Wisdom Brings Security

1 My son, if you will receive my words

And treasure my commandments within you,

2 Make your ear attentive to wisdom;

Incline your heart to understanding.

3 For if you cry out for insight,

And*2:3 Lit giveraise your voice for understanding;

4 If you seek her as silver

And search for her as for hidden treasures;

5 Then you will understand the fear of the Lord,

And discover the knowledge of God.

6 For the Lord gives wisdom;

From His mouth come knowledge and understanding.
