Proverbs 2:1-5

Holman Christian Standard Bible

2 My son, if you accept my words^(A)
and store up my commands within you,
² listening closely^[a] to wisdom
and directing your heart to understanding;
³ furthermore, if you call out to insight
and lift your voice to understanding,
⁴ if you seek it like silver
and search for it like hidden treasure,^(B)
5 then you will understand the fear of the Lord
and discover the knowledge of God.
