2 So as to turn your ear to wisdom,and apply your heart to understanding;
3 Yes, if you call 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.Out of his mouth comes knowledge and understanding.
7 He lays up sound wisdom for the upright.He is a shield to those who walk in integrity;
8 that he may guard the paths of justice,and preserve the way of his holy ones.
