Revised Standard Version RSV

1 My son, if you receive my words and treasure up my commandments with you,

2 making your ear attentive to wisdom and inclining your heart to understanding;

4 if you seek it like silver and search for it as for hidden treasures;

5 then you will understand the fear of the LORD and find the knowledge of God.

6 For the LORD gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding;

7 he stores up sound wisdom for the upright; he is a shield to those who walk in integrity,

8 guarding the paths of justice and preserving the way of his saints.

9 Then you will understand righteousness and justice and equity, every good path;
