3 indeed, if you call out for insightand cry aloud for understanding,
4 and if you look for it as for silverand search for it as for hidden treasure,
5 then you will understand the fear of the Lordand find the knowledge of God.
6 For the Lord gives wisdom;from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.
7 He holds success in store for the upright,he is a shield to those whose way of life is blameless,
8 for he guards the course of the justand protects the way of his faithful ones.
9 Then you will understand what is right and justand fair – every good path.
