My child, if you accept my words and treasure up my commandments within you, making your ear attentive to wisdom and inclining your heart to understanding; if you indeed cry out for insight, and raise your voice for understanding; if you seek it like a silver, and search for it as for hidden treasures-then you will understand the fear of the LORD and find the knowledge of God.
For the LORD gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding. Proverbs 2:1-6.
(For I did not receive it from a human source, nor was I taught it, but I received it through a revelation of Jesus Christ. Galatians 1:12.)
Get wisdom; get insight: do not forget, nor turn away from the words of my mouth. Do not forsake her (wisdom), and she will keep you; love her and she will guard you. The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom, and whatever else you get, get insight. Proverbs 4:5-7.
Keep hold of instruction; do not let go; guard her (wisdom), for she is your life. Proverbs 4:13.
If you say, “Look, we did not know this”-does not he who weighs the heart perceive it? Does not he who keeps watch over your soul know it? And will he not repay all according to their deeds? Proverbs 24:12. Amen.
