2So that thou make thine ear attend unto wisdom, and thy heart incline to discernment;
3Yea, if thou call for understanding, and lift up thy voice for discernment;
4If thou seek her as silver, and search for her as for hid treasures;
5Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.
6For the LORD giveth wisdom, out of His mouth cometh knowledge and discernment;
7He layeth up sound wisdom for the upright, He is a shield to them that walk in integrity;
8That He may guard the paths of justice, and preserve the way of His godly ones.
