1My son, if you will receive my words, and store up my commandments within you,
2so as to turn your ear to wisdom, and apply your heart to understanding;
3yes, if you call out for discernment, and lift up your voice for understanding;
4if you seek her as silver, and search for her as for hidden treasures;
5then you will understand the fear of Yahweh, and find the knowledge of God.
6For Yahweh gives wisdom. Out of his mouth comes knowledge and understanding.
