King James Version with Apocrypha
"If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures;"
— Proverbs 2:4, King James Version with Apocrypha
“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 you are looking for her as for silver, and searching for her as for stored-up wealth;”
My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee;
So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding;
Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding;
If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures;
Then shalt thou understand the fear of the Lord, and find the knowledge of God.
For the Lord giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.
He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly.
