Proverbs 2:1-9

LXX2012(i) 1 [My] son, if you will receive the utterance of my commandment, and hide it with you; 2 your ear shall listen to wisdom; you shall also apply your heart to understanding, and shall apply it to the instruction of your son. 3 For it 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; and shall direct all your course aright.
