Proverbs 2:8

Protection and safetyJustice

6 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,

to guard the paths of justice and protect the way of His saints.

9 Then you will discern righteousness and justice and equity—every good path.

10 For wisdom will enter your heart, and knowledge will delight your soul.
