Proverbs 2:3-13

Proverbs 2:3-13

[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.  [8] He keepeth  the paths  of judgment,  and preserveth  the way  of his saints.  [9] Then shalt thou understand  righteousness,  and judgment,  and equity;  yea, every good  path.  [10] When wisdom  entereth  into thine heart,  and knowledge  is pleasant  unto thy soul;  [11] Discretion  shall preserve  thee, understanding  shall keep  [12] To deliver  thee from the way  of the evil  man, from the man  that speaketh  froward things;  [13] Who leave  the paths  of uprightness,  in the ways  of darkness;
