The Quest for Wisdom

Proverbs 2:1-6; ASV

1 My son, if thou wilt receive my words, And lay up my commandments with thee;

2 So as to incline thine ear unto wisdom, And apply thy heart to understanding;

3 Yea, if thou cry after discernment, And lift up thy voice for understanding;

4 If thou seek her as silver, And search for her as for hid treasures:

5 Then shalt thou understand the fear of Jehovah, And find the knowledge of God.

6 For Jehovah giveth wisdom; Out of his mouth (cometh) knowledge and understanding:

My attitude toward the quest:

1. Receive – take, accept

2. Treasure – hide

3. Make Your Ear Attentive – pick up the ears

4. Incline Your Heart – stretch, spread out

5. Cry For – call out

6. Lift Your Voice For – give

7. Seek – search out, strive after

8. Search – disguise oneself (covert operation)
