2 So that you incline your ear to wisdom,And apply your heart to understanding;
3 Yes, if you cry out for discernment,And lift up your voice for understanding,
4 If you seek her as silver,And search for her as for hidden treasures;
5 Then you will understand the fear of the Lord,And find the knowledge of God.
6 For the Lord gives wisdom;From His mouth come knowledge and understanding;
7 He stores up sound wisdom for the upright;He is a shield to those who walk uprightly;
8 He guards the paths of justice,And preserves the way of His saints.
