1 My son, if you accept my words and store up my commands within you,
2 listening closely to wisdomand directing your heart to understanding;
3 furthermore, if you call out to insightand lift your voice to understanding,
4 if you seek it like silverand search for it like hidden treasure,
5 then you will understand the fear of the Lordand discover the knowledge of God.
6 For the Lord gives wisdom;from His mouth come knowledge and understanding.
7 He stores up success for the upright;He is a shield for those who live with integrity
