ACV(i)
2 so as to incline thine ear to wisdom, and apply thy heart to understanding,
3 yea, if thou cry after discernment, and lift up thy voice for understanding,
4 if thou seek her as silver, and search for her as for hidden treasures,
5 then thou shall understand the fear of LORD, and find the knowledge of God.
6 For LORD gives wisdom. Out of his mouth is knowledge and understanding.
7 He lays up sound wisdom for the upright, a shield to those who walk in integrity,
8 that he may guard the paths of justice, and preserve the way of his sanctified.
9 Then thou shall understand righteousness and justice and equity, yea, every good path.
10 For wisdom shall enter into thy heart, and knowledge shall be pleasant to thy soul,
11 discretion shall watch over thee, understanding shall keep thee,
12 to deliver thee from the way of evil, from the men who speak perverse things,
