1My sonne, if thou wilt receiue my wordes, and hide my commandements within thee,
2And cause thine eares to hearken vnto wisdome, and encline thine heart to vnderstanding,
3(For if thou callest after knowledge, and cryest for vnderstanding:
4If thou seekest her as siluer, and searchest for her as for treasures,
5Then shalt thou vnderstand the feare of the Lord, and finde the knowledge of God.
6For the Lord giueth wisdome, out of his mouth commeth knowledge and vnderstanding.
