American Standard Version
"If thou seek her as silver, And search for her as for hid treasures: "
— Proverbs 2:4, American Standard Version
“If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures;”
“If you seek her as silver, and search for her as for hidden treasures:”
“if you seek it like silver, and search for it like hidden treasure,”
“If thou shalt seek her as money, and shalt dig for her as for a treasure:”
“If you are looking for her as for silver, and searching for her as for stored-up wealth;”
“If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures;”
My son, if thou wilt receive my words, And lay up my commandments with thee;
So as to incline thine ear unto wisdom, And apply thy heart to understanding;
Yea, if thou cry after discernment, And lift up thy voice for understanding;
If thou seek her as silver, And search for her as for hid treasures:
Then shalt thou understand the fear of Jehovah, And find the knowledge of God.
For Jehovah giveth wisdom; Out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding:
He layeth up sound wisdom for the upright; He isa shield to them that walk in integrity;
