The Value of Wisdom

1 cMy son, dif 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 efor understanding,
4if you seek it like fsilver
and search for it as for ghidden treasures,
5then hyou will understand the fear of the Lord
and find the knowledge of God.
6For ithe Lord gives wisdom;
from his mouth come knowledge and understanding;
7he stores up sound wisdom for the upright;
he is ja shield to those who kwalk in integrity,
8guarding the paths of justice
and lwatching over the way of his msaints.
9 nThen you will understand orighteousness and justice
and equity, every good path;

Proverbs 8:10-11

10 pTake my instruction instead of silver,
and knowledge rather than choice gold,
11 qfor wisdom is better than jewels,
and rall that you may desire cannot compare with her.
