Proverbs 1:29-2:1-5

Since they hated knowledge and did not choose to fear the LORD,
Since they would not accept my advice and spurned my rebuke,
They will eat the fruit of their ways and be filled with the fruit of their schemes.
For the waywardness of the simple will kill them,
And the complacency of fools will destroy them;
But whoever listens to me will live in safety and be at ease, without fear of harm.

My son, if you accept my words and store up my commands within you,
Turning your ear to wisdom and applying your heart to understanding,
And if you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding,
And if you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure,
Then you will understand the fear of the LORD and find the knowledge of God.

AMEN!
