Proverbs 2:1-11

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. 10 For if wisdom shall come into your understanding, and discernment shall seem pleasing to your soul, 11 then good counsel shall guard you, and holy understanding shall keep you;
