And search for her as for (C)hidden treasures;
Then you will understand the (D)fear of the Lord,
And discover the knowledge of God.
For (E)the Lord gives wisdom;
From His mouth come knowledge and understanding.
He stores up sound wisdom for the upright;
He is a (F)shield to those who walk in integrity,
