• Proverbs 1:2-6
  To know wisdom and instruction,
  To perceive the words of understanding,
  To receive the instruction of wisdom,
  Justice, judgment, and equity;
  To give prudence to the simple,
  To the young man knowledge and discretion—
  A wise man will hear and increase learning,
  And a man of understanding will attain wise counsel,
  To understand a proverb and an enigma,
  The words of the wise and their riddles.

  And apply your heart to understanding;

  And lift up your voice for understanding,
  If you seek her as silver,
  And search for her as for hidden treasures;
  Then you will understand the fear of the LORD,
  And find the knowledge of God.
  For the LORD gives wisdom;
  From His mouth come knowledge and understanding;
  He stores up sound wisdom for the upright;
  He is a shield to those who walk uprightly;
