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,
