Proverbs 2:6-11 ▼

6 For the LORD gives [skillful and godly] wisdom; From His mouth come knowledge and understanding.

7 He stores away sound wisdom for the righteous [those who are in right standing with Him]; He is a shield to those who walk in integrity [those of honorable character and moral courage],

8 He guards the paths of justice; And He preserves the way of His saints (believers).

9 Then you will understand righteousness and justice [in every circumstance] And integrity and every good path.

10 For [skillful and godly] wisdom will enter your heart And knowledge will be pleasant to your soul.

11 Discretion will watch over you, Understanding and discernment will guard you,
