Proverbs 2:3-11 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

3. Yes, if you call for intelligence,and to understanding raise your voice;

4. If you seek her like silver,and like hidden treasures search her out,

5. Then will you understand the fear of the Lord;the knowledge of God you will find;

6. For the Lord gives wisdom,from his mouth come knowledge and understanding;

7. He has success in store for the upright,is the shield of those who walk honestly,

8. Guarding the paths of justice,protecting the way of his faithful ones,

9. Then you will understand what is right and just,what is fair, every good path;

10. For wisdom will enter your heart,knowledge will be at home in your soul,

11. Discretion will watch over you,understanding will guard you;
