The Value of Wisdom

1 lMy son, mif you receive my words
and treasure up my commandments with you,
 2making your ear attentive to wisdom
and inclining your heart to understanding;
 3yes, if you call out for insight
and raise your voice nfor understanding,
 4if you seek it like osilver
and search for it as for phidden treasures,
 5then qyou will understand the fear of the Lord
and find the knowledge of God.
 6For rthe Lord gives wisdom;
from his mouth come knowledge and understanding;
 7he stores up sound wisdom for the upright;
he is sa shield to those who twalk in integrity,
 8guarding the paths of justice
and uwatching over the way of his vsaints.
 9 wThen you will understand xrighteousness and justice
and equity, every good path;

Proverbs 8:20

20I walk in the way of righteousness,
in the paths of justice,

Isaiah 11:2-4

2And ythe Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him,
the Spirit of wisdom and understanding,
the Spirit of counsel and might,
the Spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord.
 3And his delight shall be in the fear of the Lord.
zHe shall not judge by aawhat his eyes see,
or decide disputes by abwhat his ears hear,
 4but acwith righteousness he shall judge the poor,
and decide with equity for the meek of the earth;
and he shall adstrike the earth with the rod of his mouth,
and aewith the breath of his lips afhe shall kill the wicked.
