Proverbs 2:1-9
King James Version

2 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.

Moral Benefits of Wisdom

2 My son,(A) if you accept my words
    and store up my commands within you,
2 turning your ear to wisdom
    and applying your heart to understanding(B)—
3 indeed, if you call out for insight(C)
    and cry aloud for understanding,
4 and if you look for it as for silver
    and search for it as for hidden treasure,(D)
5 then you will understand the fear of the Lord
    and find the knowledge of God.(E)
6 For the Lord gives wisdom;(F)
    from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.(G)
7 He holds success in store for the upright,
    he is a shield(H) to those whose walk is blameless,(I)
8 for he guards the course of the just
    and protects the way of his faithful ones.(J)

9 Then you will understand(K) what is right and just
    and fair—every good path.
