Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.

Verse 5 is found in chapter 2 of Proverbs. The chapter describes the diligent pursuit of wisdom through a series of accumulating verbs: receive, treasure, incline the ear, cry out, and seek. This is not knowledge acquired passively, but an active disposition before God. The reward is moral discernment: understanding righteousness, justice, and equity. Biblical wisdom therefore appears as the capacity to live rightly, not merely as the accumulation of information.
