Silver and the Fear of Yahweh – A Song from Proverbs 2

🎵 Proverbs 2 takes us on a powerful journey: from the call to pursue wisdom like hidden treasure, to the promise that Yahweh Himself gives knowledge and protects the upright. This song captures that journey in a gritty, blues-infused, spaghetti-western sound — all tuned to 444 Hz for maximum resonance.

It’s a call to dig deep. Not just into Scripture, but into the fear of the Lord — the kind that opens the door to life, discernment, and protection from destruction.

Woven with direct scripture from the World English Bible (public domain), this song speaks with ancient authority while moving with modern grit.

📖 Proverbs 2 (WEB)

My son, if you will receive my words,
and store up my commandments within you,
2
so as to turn your ear to wisdom,
and apply your heart to understanding;
3
yes, if you call out for discernment,
and lift up your voice for understanding;
4
if you seek her as silver,
and search for her as for hidden treasures;
5
then you will understand the fear of Yahweh,
and find the knowledge of God.[a]
6
For Yahweh gives wisdom.
Out of his mouth comes knowledge and understanding.
7
He lays up sound wisdom for the upright.
He is a shield to those who walk in integrity,
8
that he may guard the paths of justice,
and preserve the way of his saints.
9
Then you will understand righteousness and justice,
equity and every good path.
10
For wisdom will enter into your heart.
Knowledge will be pleasant to your soul.
11
Discretion will watch over you.
Understanding will keep you,
12
to deliver you from the way of evil,
from the men who speak perverse things,
13
who forsake the paths of uprightness,
to walk in the ways of darkness,
14
who rejoice to do evil,
and delight in the perverseness of evil,
15
who are crooked in their ways,
and wayward in their paths,
16
to deliver you from the strange woman,
even from the foreigner who flatters with her words,
17
who forsakes the friend of her youth,
and forgets the covenant of her God;
18
for her house leads down to death,
her paths to the departed spirits.
19
None who go to her return again,
neither do they attain to the paths of life.
20
Therefore walk in the way of good men,
and keep the paths of the righteous.
21
For the upright will dwell in the land.
The perfect will remain in it.
22
But the wicked will be cut off from the land.
The treacherous will be rooted out of it.

🎶 Lyrics: Silver and the Fear of Yahweh

[Intro – tremolo guitar, clarinet bends over E minor, slow gallop groove]

Verse 1
My son, if you’ll receive my words
Store my commandments deep inside
Turn your ear toward wisdom’s calling
Let understanding be your guide
If you seek her like silver hidden
Dig like you’re workin’ the mine at night
You’ll understand the fear of Yahweh
And find the knowledge burnin’ bright

Chorus
For Yahweh gives wisdom — from His mouth it flows
Knowledge and understanding, like a river it grows
He’s a shield to the upright, a guard for the just
Walk in His ways, in His Word you trust

Verse 2
Wisdom will step into your heart
Knowledge will be pleasant to your soul
Discretion will watch over you
Understanding will keep you whole
It’ll pull you from the dark road’s trouble
From the crooked tongue and twisted ways
From the ones who left the path of uprightness
To dance in the shadowed maze

Bridge
From the lips of the seductress whisperin’
From the woman who’s left her vow
Her steps go down to the chambers of death
And the shades are waitin’ now
None who go return again
No one finds the path of life that way
So keep to the road of the righteous
Let the good man’s footsteps stay

Chorus
For Yahweh gives wisdom — from His mouth it flows
Knowledge and understanding, like a river it grows
He’s a shield to the upright, a guard for the just
Walk in His ways, in His Word you trust

Verse 3
The upright will dwell in the land
The blameless will remain in place
But the wicked will be cut off forever
The faithless torn from grace
So hold tight to the words He’s spoken
Let ‘em sink like roots in rain
For silver and the fear of Yahweh
Are worth more than gold or gain

[Outro – violin and guitar trading licks, fading gallop beat]
[Final whisper] "Worth more than gold… or gain…"
