Proverbs 2:2-9 that thou wilt incline thin ears unto wisdom; apply thine heart then to understanding.

MSTC⁽ⁱ⁾ ² that thou wilt incline thin ears unto wisdom; apply thine heart then to understanding. ³ For if thou criest after wisdom, and callest for knowledge; ⁴ If thou seekest after her as after money, and diggest for her as for treasures; ⁵ then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God. ⁶ For it is the LORD that giveth wisdom, out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding. ⁷ He preserveth the welfare of the righteous, and defendeth them that walk innocently; ⁸ He keepeth them in the right path, and preserveth the way of his saints. ⁹ Then shalt thou understand righteousness, judgment and equity - yea, and every good path.
