My son, accept my words.

Store up my commands inside you.

Let your ears listen to wisdom.

Apply your heart to understanding.

Call out for the ability to be wise.

Cry out for understanding.

Look for it as you would look for silver.

Search for it as you would

search for hidden treasure.

Then you will understand how to

have respect for the LORD.

You will find out how to know God.

Proverbs 2
