Proverbs 2:1-6

(Found here)

My son, if you receive my words,
   And treasure my commands within you,
So that you incline your ear to wisdom,
   And apply your heart to understanding;
Yes, if you cry out for discernment,
   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;
