- My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee;
- So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding;
- Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding;
- If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures;
- Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.
|
- My son, if you accept my words and store up my commands within you,
- turning your ear to wisdom and applying your heart to understanding,
- and if you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding,
- and if you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure,
- then you will understand the fear of the LORD and find the knowledge of God.
