“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 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;”
Benefits of Seeking Wisdom My child, if you receive my words, and store up my commands inside yourself,
by making your ear attentive to wisdom, and by turning your heart to understanding,
indeed, if you call out for discernment– shout loudly for understanding–
if you seek it like silver, and search for it like hidden treasure,
then you will understand how to fear the LORD, and you will discover knowledge about God.
For the LORD gives wisdom, and from his mouth comes knowledge and understanding.
He stores up effective counsel for the upright, and is like a shield for those who live with integrity,
