1 My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and lay up my commandments with thee;

2 So that thou make thine ear attend unto wisdom, and thy heart incline to discernment;

3 Yea, if thou call for understanding, and lift up thy voice for discernment;

4 If thou seek her as silver, and search 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 giveth wisdom, out of His mouth cometh knowledge and discernment;
