Incline your heart to discernment;

And search for her as for bhidden treasures;
5 Then you will understand the afear of Yahweh
And find the knowledge of God.

From His mouth come knowledge and discernment.

A ashield to those who walk in integrity,
8 To guard the paths of justice,
And He akeeps the way of His holy ones.
9 Then you will understand arighteousness and justice
And equity—every bgood track.
