Proverbs
Proverbs 2:1–5 describes pursuing wisdom with focused listening and active searching. It compares the pursuit to seeking silver and hidden treasures. The passage says that this kind of pursuit leads to understanding the fear of the LORD and finding the knowledge of God.
1My son, if you will receive my words, And store up my commandments within you;
2So as to turn your ear to wisdom, And apply your heart to understanding;
3Yes, if you call out for discernment, And lift up your voice for understanding;
4If you seek her as silver, And search for her as for hidden treasures:
5Then you will understand the fear of Yahweh, And find the knowledge of God.
