incline your ear to wisdom, and apply your heart to understanding
cry out for discernment, lift up your voice for understanding
seek her as silver, and search for her as for hidden treasures
then you will understand the fear of the Lord, and find the knowledge of God.
for the Lord gives wisdom
from His mouth come knowledge and understanding
He stores up sound wisdom for the upright
He is a shield to those who walk uprightly
He guards the paths of justice, and preserves the way of His saints
then you will understand righteousness and justice, equity and every good path.
when wisdom enters your heart
and knowledge is pleasant to your soul
discretion will preserve you
understanding will keep you.
