1Oh, my son, that thou wouldst receive my words, And treasure up my precepts within thee;
2That thou wouldst apply thine ear to wisdom, And incline thy heart to understanding!
3For if thou wilt call aloud to knowledge, And lift up thy voice to understanding,—
4If thou wilt seek her as silver, And search for her as for hidden treasures,
