Proverbs 2:5-8

Living Bible

^3-5 Yes, if you want better insight and discernment, and are searching for them as you would for lost money or hidden treasure, then wisdom will be given you and knowledge of God himself; you will soon learn the importance of reverence for the Lord and of trusting him.

⁶ For the Lord grants wisdom! His every word is a treasure of knowledge and understanding. ^7-8 He grants good sense to the godly—his saints. He is their shield, protecting them and guarding their pathway.
