2:1 My child, 2 if 3 you receive my words,
and store up 4 my commands within you,
2:2 by making 5 your ear 6 attentive to wisdom,
and 7 by turning 8 your heart 9 to understanding,
2:3 indeed, if 10 you call out for 11 discernment 12 –
raise your voice 13 for understanding –
2:4 if 14 you seek 15 it like silver, 16
and search for it 17 like hidden treasure,
2:5 then you will understand 18 how to fear the Lord, 19
and you will discover 20 knowledge 21 about God. 22
2:6 For 23 the Lord gives 24 wisdom,
and from his mouth 25 comes 26 knowledge and understanding.
2:7 He stores up 27 effective counsel 28 for the upright, 29
and is like 30 a shield 31 for those who live 32 with integrity, 33
10:14 Those who are wise 34 store up 35 knowledge,
but foolish speech 36 leads to imminent 37 destruction.
22:22 Accept instruction 42 from his mouth
and store up his words 43 in your heart.
