- 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 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.
