Proverbs 2:1–5 · Berean Standard Bible

1 My son, if you accept my words and hide my commandments within you,

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,

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.
