1 My son, if thou will receive my words, and lay up my commandments with thee,
2 so as to incline thine ear to wisdom, and apply thy heart to understanding,
3 yea, if thou cry after discernment, and lift up thy voice for understanding,
4 if thou seek her as silver, and search for her as for hidden treasures,
5 then thou shall understand the fear of LORD, and find the knowledge of God.
6 For LORD gives wisdom. Out of his mouth [is] knowledge and understanding.
