1 My sonne, if thou wilt receiue my words, and hide my commaundements with thee;
2 So that thou incline thine eare vnto wisedome, and apply thine heart to vnderstanding:
3 Yea if thou cryest after knowledge, and liftest vp thy voyce for vnderstanding:
4 If thou seekest her as siluer, and searchest for her, as for hid treasures:
5 Then shalt thou vnderstand the feare of the Lord, and find the knowledge of God.
6 For the Lord giueth wisedome: out of his mouth commeth knowledge, and vnderstanding.
7 He layeth vp sound wisedome for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walke vprightly.
8 He keepeth the pathes of iudgement, and preserueth the way of his Saints.
9 Then shalt thou vnderstand righteousnesse, and iudgement, and equity; yea euery good path.
10 ¶ When wisedome entreth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant vnto thy soule;
11 Discretion shall preserue thee, vnderstanding shall keepe thee:
12 To deliuer thee from the way of the euill man, from the man that speaketh froward things.
13 Who leaue the pathes of vprightnesse, to walke in the wayes of darkenesse:
14 Who reioyce to doe euill, and delight in the frowardnesse of the wicked.
15 Whose wayes are crooked, and they froward in their pathes.
16 To deliuer thee from the strange woman, euen from the stranger, which flattereth with her words:
17 Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the couenant of her God.
18 For her house inclineth vnto death, and her pathes vnto the dead:
19 None that goe vnto her, returne againe, neither take they hold of the pathes of life.
20 That thou mayest walke in the way of good men, and keepe the pathes of the righteous.
21 For the vpright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remaine in it.
22 But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the transgressours shalbe rooted out of it.

Knowledge is merely information, God's word is our complete source. 1 Pe. 1:2-3 Understanding is the ability to comprehend information in which the Holy Spirit is our helper. Wisdom is the ability to apply correctly the information that we have understanding of. It is God in us, as we yield our whole spirit, soul, and body, that performs our abilities to know Him and apply His Word daily in our lives.

God gave us a choice, just as he did with Adam and Eve. We can be deceived if we do not trust God in what he says to us. We can willfully disobey also. This life is a journey and has many paths, the one the Lord says is the path to eternal life, as well as a path to walk in this life is righteousness, his righteousness, or what He says is right, the pathway of discretion, and sound judgment. Understanding will be a light unto our feet, because all good pathways are His words. They will preserve us.
Soldier of Christ's Proverbs Chapter 2 comment on 3/02/2013, 11:14am...
I agree that you should pray for knowledge and wisdom but that isn't what the Bible actually says. It says that you should seek after it as gold silver and hid treasure I mean really how hard does everyone seek after money and things of this world. We should seek after knowledge and wisdom that hard and if you don't seek well we will all know you truly serve because the Bible says that man cannot serve God and mammon because he will love the one and despise the other or cling to one and hate the other. So what do you cling to, what do you love. The Bible already says that where your treasure is there will your heart be also, so where is your heart this morning? Is it in Heavenly things or worldly things? I love you all my brothers and sisters in Christ and can't wait to see you at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Until then I say goodbye.

Great for advice online. I’m not an AV reader myself, I use modern translations but I do love the poetry of the AV.

To know holy knowledge is a kind of constructing for our soul.
Biodun Williams's Proverbs Chapter 2 comment on 12/02/2012, 1:47pm...
This second chapter of the book of Proverbs, is like others, depending upon what they contains. It invites whoever dares to believe, towards the God type of humility, where the eye gates, the ear gates and the mouth gate are used in such ways that their usages becomes pleasing to God (Genesis 15:6; Hosea 10:12). In actual fact, it confirms that there are no other ways into getting in the things of holy righteousness except through godly obedience (1 Timothy 3:16).- and then such a person cannot but learn and conduct Himself in accordance with the Word of God. In other words how to walk in love, becomes known and imparted, in such a way that he conducts himself humbly, committed and, yet in agreement with the dictates of godliness. The reason being that, as far as the truths of God’s Word are concerned, there are assured blessings on the other side of obedience. God, will never default on His Word- hence it is wise and worthwhile to take Him at His Word. This reveals and signifies that, God, in His faithfulness, desires to bless and impart whoever loves and believes Him through Jesus Christ of Nazareth, and has the necessary knowledge and wisdom that pertains to the task He has for them. God is the giver of whatever good things that man is after on this planet that are in consonant with divinity. That refers to such things that pertains to life and godliness- thus the importance of hearkening to His Word (2 Peter 1:3-7). God is a shield and buckler to those that love and honor Him, Psalm 3:3; Psalm 18:2; Psalm 119:14; Proverbs 30:5; 2 Corinthians 1:20), and His promises, are yea and Amen. Blessed be the name of the LORD forever!

Blessed be the Lord almighty. What I want, I mean really want is to pray that we get wisdom, understanding and knowledge.
