2 So that you make your ear attend to wisdom, Incline your heart to understanding;
3 For if you cry for discernment, Lift up your voice for understanding,
4 If you seek her as silver, And search for her as hidden treasures,
5 Then you would understand the fear of יהוה, And find the knowledge of Elohim.
6 For יהוה gives wisdom; Out of His mouth come knowledge and understanding.
7 And He treasures up stability for the straight, A shield to those walking blamelessly,
8 To watch over the paths of right-ruling, And the way of His kind ones He guards.
