Proverbs 2:1-9

CAB(i) 1 My son, if you will receive the utterance of my commandment, and hide it within you; 2 your ear shall hearken to wisdom; you shall also apply your heart to understanding, and shall apply it to the instruction of your son. 3 For if you shall call to wisdom, and utter your voice for understanding; 4 and if you shall seek it as silver, and search diligently for it as for treasures; 5 then shall you understand the fear of the Lord, and find the knowledge of God. 6 For the Lord gives wisdom, and from His presence come knowledge and understanding, 7 and He treasures up salvation for them that walk uprightly: He will protect their way; 8 that He may guard the righteous ways: and He will preserve the way of them that fear Him. 9 Then shall you understand righteousness and judgment, equity and every good path.
