Provérbios 2

The results of wisdom

1 My son, listen to what I say,

and consider my instructions to be as valuable as [MET] a treasure.

2 Pay attention to wisdom

and try hard to understand it.

3 Call out to God to get insight;

plead with him to help you to understand more of what he wants you to know.

4 Search eagerly for wisdom, like you would search for silver,

like you would search for a treasure that someone has hidden.

5 If you do that, you will understand how to revere Yahweh,

and you will succeed in knowing God.

6 Yahweh is the one who gives us wisdom.

He is the one who tells us things that we need to know and understand.
