Proverbs 2:2-7

GOD’S WORD Translation

² if you pay close attention to wisdom,
and let your mind reach for understanding,
³ if indeed you call out for insight,
if you ask aloud for understanding,
⁴ if you search for wisdom as if it were money
and hunt for it as if it were hidden treasure,
⁵ then you will understand the fear of the Lord
and you will find the knowledge of God.
⁶ The Lord gives wisdom.
From his mouth come knowledge and understanding.
⁷ He has reserved priceless wisdom for decent people.
He is a shield for those who walk in integrity
