1My son, if thou wilt receive my words, And hide my commandments with thee;
2So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, And apply thine heart to understanding;
3Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, And liftest up thy voice for understanding;
4If thou seekest her as silver, And searchest for her as for hid treasures;
5Then shalt thou understand the fear of the Lord, And find the knowledge of God.
6For the Lord giveth wisdom: Out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.
7He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: He is a buckler to them that walk uprightly.
8He keepeth the paths of judgment, And preserveth the way of his saints.
9Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, And equity; yea, every good path.
10When wisdom entereth into thine heart, And knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul;
