1 My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee; |
2 So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding; |
3 Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding; |
4 If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures; |
5 Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God. |
6 For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding. |
7 He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly. |
8 He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints. |
9 Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yea, every good path. |
