MY son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee;</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017086">2</a>. So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding;</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017087">3</a>. Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding;</li>

<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017090">6</a>. For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017091">7</a>. He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly.</li>
