1My son, if you will receive my words, and store up my mitzvot ·instructions· 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 Adonai , and find the knowledge of God.
6For Adonai gives wisdom. Out of his mouth comes knowledge and understanding.
