The King James Version Bible

Proverbs 2:1-7

  1. My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee;

  2. So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding;

  3. Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding;

  4. If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures;

  5. Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.

  6. For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.

  7. He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly.
