"If you seek her as silver, and search for her as for hidden treasures:"
— Proverbs 2:4, World English Bible
“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 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 you will receive my words, and store up my commandments within you;
So as to turn your ear to wisdom, and apply your heart to understanding;
Yes, if you call out for discernment, and lift up your voice for understanding;
If you seek her as silver, and search for her as for hidden treasures:
then you will understand the fear of Yahweh, and find the knowledge of God.
For Yahweh gives wisdom. Out of his mouth comes knowledge and understanding.
He lays up sound wisdom for the upright. He is a shield to those who walk in integrity;
