The Value of Wisdom

1 My son, if you receive my words,
And atreasure my commands within you, 
2 So that you incline your ear to wisdom,
And apply your heart to understanding;
3 Yes, if you cry out for discernment,
And lift up your voice for understanding,
4 aIf you seek her as silver,
And search for her as for hidden treasures; 
5 aThen you will understand the fear of the Lord,
And find the knowledge of God. 
6 aFor the Lord gives wisdom;
From His mouth come knowledge and understanding; 
7 He stores up sound wisdom for the upright;
aHe is a shield to those who walk uprightly; 
8 He guards the paths of justice,
And apreserves the way of His saints. 
9 Then you will understand righteousness and justice,
Equity and every good path.
10 When wisdom enters your heart,
And knowledge is pleasant to your soul,
11 Discretion will preserve you;
aUnderstanding will keep you, 
12 To deliver you from the way of evil,
From the man who speaks perverse things,
13 From those who leave the paths of uprightness
To awalk in the ways of darkness;
