Proverbs 2:2-7

The Voice

² If you listen for Lady Wisdom, attune your ears to her,
    and engage your mind to understand what she is telling you,
³ If you cry out to her for insight
    and beg for understanding,
⁴ If you sift through the clamor of everything around you
    to seek her like some precious prize,
    to search for her like buried treasure;
⁵ Then you will grasp what it means to truly respect the Eternal,
    and you will have discovered the knowledge of the one True God.
⁶ The Eternal is ready to share His wisdom with us,
    for His words bring true knowledge and insight;
⁷ He has stored up the essentials of sound wisdom for those who do right;
    He acts as a shield for those who value integrity.
