ISV(i)
1 The Benefits of Embracing Wisdom My son, if you accept my words, and treasure my instructions—
2 making your ear attentive to wisdom, and turning your heart to understanding—
3 if, indeed, you call out for insight and raise your voice for understanding,
4 if you seek it like silver and search for it like hidden treasure,
5 then you will understand the fear of the LORD and learn to know God.
6 For the LORD gives wisdom, and from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.
7 He stores up sound wisdom for the upright and is a shield to those who walk in integrity—
