1 My son, if thou wilt receive my words,and hide my commandments with thee;
2 so that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding;
3 yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding;
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.
