Pursuit of Wisdom Brings Security

Proverbs 2:1-10

Still want wisdom? Here's what you must do:

Prov 2:1 My son, if you will receive my words And treasure my commandments within you,
Prov 2:2 Make your ear attentive to wisdom, Incline your heart to understanding;
Prov 2:3 For if you cry for discernment, Lift your voice for understanding;
Prov 2:4 If you seek her as silver And search for her as for hidden treasures;
Prov 2:5 Then you will discern the fear of the LORD And discover the knowledge of God.

If you do that, then God will do this:

Prov 2:6 For the LORD gives wisdom; From His mouth {come} knowledge and understanding.
Prov 2:7 He stores up sound wisdom for the upright; {He is} a shield to those who walk in integrity,
Prov 2:8 Guarding the paths of justice, And He preserves the way of His godly ones.

The result of your seeking and His giving:

Prov 2:9 Then you will discern righteousness and justice And equity {and} every good course.
Prov 2:10 For wisdom will enter your heart And knowledge will be pleasant to your soul;
