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