1. My son, if thou wilt receive my words and hide my commandments within thee
2. so that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom and apply thine heart to intelligence,
3. yea, if thou criest for understanding and givest thy voice unto intelligence,
4. if thou seekest her as silver and searchest for her as for hid treasures,
5. then shalt thou understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God.
6. For the Lord gives wisdom; out of his mouth comes knowledge and intelligence.
