Proverbs 2:5

Compare all

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.

Proverbs 2:5

The promise. The highest blessedness is to know God John 17:3. If any distinction between "the Lord" y^e hovâh and "God" 'elohı̂ym can be pressed here, it is that in the former the personality, in the latter the glory, of the divine nature is prominent.
