The walk8
Follow this verse’s cross-references two steps out. Each card is a verse this one points to, and beneath it the verses that one points to in turn. Where several different paths arrive at the same place, that place is listed first: the text keeps returning to it. Every stop shows its own words, and every stop is a page.

Reached by 2 independent paths from here.

if you truly call out to insight and lift your voice to understanding,

Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you.
Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding;
