1 My son, if you accept my wordsand store up my commands within you,
2 turning your ear to wisdomand applying your heart to understanding –
3 indeed, if you call out for insightand cry aloud for understanding,
4 and if you look for it as for silverand search for it as for hidden treasure,
5 then you will understand the fear of the Lordand find the knowledge of God.
6 For the Lord gives wisdom;from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.
