“My son, if you accept my wordsAnd treasure my commandments within you,Make your ear attentive to wisdom,Incline your heart to understanding;For if you cry out for insight,And raise your voice for understanding;If you seek her as silverAnd search for her as for hidden treasures,Then you will understand the fear of the Lord,And discover the knowledge of God.” “For the Lord gives wisdom;From His mouth come knowledge and understanding.He stores up…

“The proverbs of Solomon, the son of David, king of Israel:To know wisdom and instruction,To discern the sayings of understanding,To receive instruction in wise behavior,Righteousness, justice, and integrity;To give prudence to the naive,To the youth knowledge and discretion,A wise person will hear and increase in learning,And a person of understanding will acquire wise counsel,To understand a proverb and a saying,The words of the wise and their riddles.” “The fear of…
