"If you are looking for her as for silver, and searching for her as for stored-up wealth;"
— Proverbs 2:4, Bible in Basic English
“If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures;”
“If thou seek her as silver, And search 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 thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures;”
My son, if you will take my words to your heart, storing up my laws in your mind;
So that your ear gives attention to wisdom, and your heart is turned to knowledge;
Truly, if you are crying out for good sense, and your request is for knowledge;
If you are looking for her as for silver, and searching for her as for stored-up wealth;
Then the fear of the Lord will be clear to you, and knowledge of God will be yours.
For the Lord gives wisdom; out of his mouth come knowledge and reason:
He has salvation stored up for the upright, he is a breastplate to those in whom there is no evil;
