1. My son, if thou wilt receive my words, And lay up my commandments with thee;
2. So as to incline thine ear unto wisdom, And apply thy heart to understanding;
3. Yea, if thou cry after discernment, And lift up thy voice for understanding;
4. If thou seek her as silver, And search for her as for hid treasures:
5. Then shalt thou understand the fear of Jehovah, And find the knowledge of God.
