1 My son, if you will receive my words, and treasure up my commandments within you,
2 so that you incline your ear to wisdom, and extend your heart to understanding;
3 yes, if you cry out for discernment, lifting up your voice for understanding;
4 if you seek her as silver, and search for her as for hidden treasures,
5 then you shall understand the fear of Jehovah, and find the knowledge of God.
6 For Jehovah gives wisdom; out of His mouth come knowledge and understanding.
