Proverbs 2:3-11
New King James Version
3 Yes, if you cry out for discernment,
And lift up your voice for understanding,
4 (A)If you seek her as silver,
And search for her as for hidden treasures;
5 (B)Then you will understand the fear of the Lord,
And find the knowledge of God.
6 (C)For the Lord gives wisdom;
From His mouth come knowledge and understanding;
7 He stores up sound wisdom for the upright;
(D)He is a shield to those who walk uprightly;
8 He guards the paths of justice,
And (E)preserves the way of His saints.
9 Then you will understand righteousness and justice,
Equity and every good path.
10 When wisdom enters your heart,
And knowledge is pleasant to your soul,
11 Discretion will preserve you;
(F)Understanding will keep you,
Proverbs 4:25-27

25 Let your eyes look straight ahead,
And your eyelids look right before you.
26 Ponder the path of your (A)feet,
And let all your ways be established.
27 Do not turn to the right or the left;
Remove your foot from evil.
Proverbs 8:10-11

And knowledge rather than choice gold;

And all the things one may desire cannot be compared with her.

But the eyes of a fool are on the ends of the earth.
