Proverbs 2

Wisdom has to be sought like silver and hidden treasure, with effort and desire, and yet "the LORD gives wisdom." Both are true: we search, He gives. Wisdom guards us from twisted speech and from the "forbidden woman" who breaks covenant. Knowledge is meant to "delight your soul," not just inform it.

"For the LORD gives wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding." (Proverbs 2:6)
