1 My son, if thou wilt receive my words and hide my commandments within thee
2 so that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom and apply thine heart to intelligence,
3 yea, if thou criest for understanding and givest thy voice unto intelligence,
4 if thou seekest her as silver and searchest for her as for hid treasures,
5 then shalt thou understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God.
6 For the Lord gives wisdom; out of his mouth comes knowledge and intelligence.
