Proverbs 2:1 - 2:11

« Prov 1 | Prov 2 | Prov 3 »

Yahweh Gives Wisdom

My son, if you will receive my words

And treasure my commandments within you,

2

To make your ear pay attention to wisdom,

Incline your heart to discernment;

3

For if you call out for understanding,

Give your voice for discernment;

4

If you seek her as silver

And search for her as for hidden treasures;

5

Then you will understand the fear of Yahweh

And find the knowledge of God.

6

For Yahweh gives wisdom;

From His mouth come knowledge and discernment.

7

He stores up sound wisdom for the upright,

A shield to those who walk in integrity,

8

To guard the paths of justice,

And He keeps the way of His holy ones.

9

Then you will understand righteousness and justice

And equity—every good track.

10

For wisdom will enter your heart

And knowledge will be pleasant to your soul;

11

Discretion will keep you,

Discernment will guard you,
