Proverbi 2:1-9

¹My son, if thou dost accept my sayings, And my commands dost lay up with thee,a

²To cause thine ear to attend to wisdom, Thou inclinest thy heart to understanding,b

³For, if for intelligence thou callest, For understanding givest forth thy voice,c

⁴If thou dost seek her as silver, And as hid treasures searchest for her,d

⁵Then understandest thou fear of Jehovah, And knowledge of God thou findest.e

⁶For Jehovah giveth wisdom, From His mouth knowledge and understanding.f

⁷Even to lay up for the upright substance, A shield for those walking uprightly.g

⁸To keep the paths of judgment, And the way of His saints He preserveth.h

⁹Then understandest thou righteousness, And judgment, and uprightness — every good path.
