Proverbs 2:6-11 ▼

6 The LORD gives wisdom. From his mouth come knowledge and understanding.

7 He has reserved priceless wisdom for decent people. He is a shield for those who walk in integrity

8 in order to guard those on paths of justice and to watch over the way of his godly ones.

9 Then you will understand what is right and just and fair- every good course [in life].

10 Wisdom will come into your heart. Knowledge will be pleasant to your soul.

11 Foresight will protect you. Understanding will guard you.
