Proverbs 2:1-9 My Son, If you receive my words, and treasure my commands within you,

So that you incline your ear to wisdom, and apply your heart to understanding,

then you will understand the fear of the Lord, and find the knowledge of God,

For the Lord gives wisdom, from His mouth come knowledge, and understanding;

He stores up sound wisdom for the upright: He is a shield to those who walk uprightly.

He guards the paths of justice, And preserves the way of His saints.

Then you will understand righteousness and justice, Equity and every good path.

For her proceeds are better than the profits of silver, and her gain than find gold.

She is more precious than rubies, And all the things you may desire cannot compare with her.

Length of days is in her right hand, In her left hand riches and honor.

Her ways are ways of pleasantness, And all her paths are peace.

She is a tree of life to those who take hold of her, And happy are all who retain her.

Take firm hold of instruction, do not let go; Keep her, for she is your life.

Proverbs 4:20-23 My son, give attention to my words, Incline your ear to my sayings.

Do not let them depart from your eyes. Keep them in the midst of your heart.

Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life.
