Proverbs 2:2-9

DouayRheims(i) 2 That thy ear may hearken to wisdom: incline thy heart to know prudence. 3 For if thou shalt call for wisdom, and incline thy heart to prudence: 4 If thou shalt seek her as money, and shalt dig for her as for a treasure: 5 Then shalt thou understand the fear of the Lord, and shalt find the knowledge of God: 6 Because the Lord giveth wisdom: and out of his mouth cometh prudence and knowledge. 7 He wilt keep the salvation of the righteous, and protect them that walk in simplicity, 8 Keeping the paths of justice, and guarding the ways of saints. 9 Then shalt thou understand justice, and judgment, and equity, and every good path.
