He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly.

Verse 7 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.

Er läßt's den Aufrichtigen gelingen und beschirmt die Frommen
Él provee de sólida sabiduría a los rectos: Es escudo a los que caminan rectamente.
Il tient en réserve le salut pour les hommes droits, Un bouclier pour ceux qui marchent dans l'intégrité,
Egli riserba la ragione a’ diritti; Egli è lo scudo di quelli che camminano in integrità;
Ele reserva a verdadeira sabedoria para os retos. Escudo é para os que caminham na sinceridade,
他為正直人珍藏健全的知識, 給行為純正的人作盾牌,
