- My son, if you will receive my words And treasure my commandments within you,
- Make your ear attentive to wisdom, Incline your heart to understanding;
- For if you cry for discernment, Lift your voice for understanding;
- If you seek her as silver And search for her as for hidden treasures;
- Then you will discern the fear of the LORD And discover 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.
