Digging for Treasure

1 My son, if you will (A) receive my words and (B) treasure my commandments within you, 2 (C) make your ear attentive to wisdom, incline your heart to understanding; 3 For if you cry for discernment, lift your voice for understanding; 4 if you seek her as (D) silver and search for her as for (E) hidden treasures; 5 then you will discern the (F) fear of the LORD and discover the knowledge of God.

6 For (G) the LORD gives wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding.

7 He stores up sound wisdom for the upright; He is a (H) shield to those who walk in integrity, 8 guarding the paths of justice, and He (I) preserves the way of His godly ones.

9 Then you will discern (J) righteousness and justice and equity and every (K) good course.

-Proverbs 2:1-9
