1 My son, if you accept my words and treasure my mitzvot within you,
2 making your ear attentive to wisdom, inclining your heart to discernment,
3 yes, if you call out for insight, lifting up your voice for discernment,
4 if you seek her as silver and search for her as for hidden treasures,
5 then you will know the fear of Adonai and discover the knowledge of God.
6 For Adonai gives wisdom. Out of His mouth comes knowledge and understanding.
7 He stores up sound wisdom for the upright. He is a shield to those who walk in integrity.
