- 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.
|
- For the LORD gives wisdom; From His mouth come knowledge and understanding.
- He stores up sound wisdom for the upright; He is a shield to those who walk in integrity,
- Guarding the paths of justice, And He preserves the way of His godly ones.
- Then you will discern righteousness and justice And equity and every good course.
- For wisdom will enter your heart And knowledge will be pleasant to your soul;
|
- For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.
- He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly.
- He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints.
- Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yea, every good path.
- When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul;
|
- Discretion will guard you, Understanding will watch over you,
- To deliver you from the way of evil, From the man who speaks perverse things;
|
- Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee:
- To deliver thee from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaketh froward things;
