Proverbs 2:6
4 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.
For the LORD gives wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding.
7 He stores up sound wisdom for the upright; He is a shield to those who walk with integrity,
8 to guard the paths of justice and protect the way of His saints.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
