1My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and wilt hide my commandments with thee,
2That thy ear may hearken to wisdom: Incline thy heart to know prudence:
3For if thou shalt call for wisdom, and incline thy heart to prudence:
4If thou shalt seek her as money, and shalt dig for her as for a treasure:
5Then shalt thou understand the fear of the Lord, and shalt find the knowledge of God.
