Proverbs 2:2-9

²if you incline your ear to wisdom

and direct your heart to understanding,

³if you truly call out to insight

and lift your voice to understanding,

⁴if you seek it like silver

and search it out like hidden treasure,

⁵then you will discern the fear of the LORD

and discover the knowledge of God.

⁶For the LORD gives wisdom;

from His mouth come knowledge and understanding.

⁷He stores up sound wisdom for the upright;

He is a shield to those who walk with integrity,

⁸to guard the paths of justice

and protect the way of His saints.

⁹Then you will discern righteousness

and justice and equity — every good path.

— Proverbs 2:2-9
