Proverbs 2:4

² if you incline your ear to wisdom and direct your heart to understanding,

³ if you truly call out to insight and lift your voice to understanding,

if you seek it like silver and search it out like hidden treasure,

⁵ then you will discern the fear of the LORD and discover the knowledge of God.

⁶ For the LORD gives wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding.
