- My son, if you will receive my words And treasure my commandments within you,
- Make your ear attentive to wisdom, Incline your heart to understanding;
- For if you cry for discernment, Lift your voice for understanding;
- If you seek her as silver And search for her as for hidden treasures;
- Then you will discern the fear of the LORD And discover the knowledge of God.
|
- For the LORD gives wisdom; From His mouth come knowledge and understanding.
- He stores up sound wisdom for the upright; He is a shield to those who walk in integrity,
- Guarding the paths of justice, And He preserves the way of His godly ones.
- Then you will discern righteousness and justice And equity and every good course.
- For wisdom will enter your heart And knowledge will be pleasant to your soul;
|
- Discretion will guard you, Understanding will watch over you,
- To deliver you from the way of evil, From the man who speaks perverse things;
