MLV(i)
2 so as to incline your ear to wisdom and apply your heart to understanding,
3 because, if you cry after discernment and lift up your voice for understanding,
4 if you seek her as silver and search for her as for hidden treasures,
5 then you will understand the fear of Jehovah and find the knowledge of God.
6 Because Jehovah gives wisdom. Out of his mouth is knowledge and understanding. 7 He lays up sound-wisdom for the upright, a shield to those who walk in integrity, 8 that he may guard the paths of justice and preserve the way of his holy ones. 9 Then you will understand righteousness and justice and uprightness, yes, every good path.
