Proverbs 2:7–9

Invitation to Seek Wisdom.

ADVANTAGES IN ACCEPTING WISDOM. — 7. He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous, preserving it after the manner of a treasure or a jewel; He is a buckler to them that walk uprightly, for wisdom shields all those who exercise themselves in a blameless conduct.

V. 8. He keepeth the paths of judgment, protecting the ways of justice, the conduct of those who try to behave in agreement with the demands of justice, and preserveth the way of His saints, guiding and guarding them from foolish and wicked behavior.

V. 9. Then shalt thou understand righteousness and judgment and equity, all parts of the duty included in a godly conduct toward God and man; yea, every good path, for it is only with the wisdom gained from the Word of God, as the source of true wisdom, that a person’s conduct will be in accordance with His will.
