2 So that thou incline thine ear unto chochmah, and apply thine lev to tevunah (understanding);
3 Yea, if thou criest out after binah, and liftest up thy voice for tevunah (understanding)
4 If thou seekest her as kesef, and searchest for her as for matmonim (hidden treasures);
5 Then shalt thou understand the Yirat Hashem, and find the Da'as Elohim.
6 For Hashem giveth chochmah; out of His Peh (mouth) cometh da'as (knowledge) and tevunah (understanding).
7 He layeth up tushiyyah (wise Torah counsel) for the yesharim (upright ones); He is a mogen (shield) to them that walk in blamelessness.
8 He keepeth the orkhot mishpat, and is shomer over the derech of His Chasidim.
