2 Turn your ear toward wisdom,and stretch your mind toward understanding.
3 Call out for insight,and cry aloud for understanding.
4 Seek it like silver;search for it like hidden treasure.
5 Then you will understand the fear of the Lord,and discover the knowledge of God.
6 The Lord gives wisdom;from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.
7 He reserves ability for those with integrity.He is a shield for those who live a blameless life.
8 He protects the paths of justiceand guards the way of those who are loyal to him.
