1 My son, if you will receive my words and store my commands inside you,
1 My son, if you accept my words and store up my commands within you,
2 paying attention to wisdom inclining your mind toward understanding
2 turning your ear to wisdom and applying your heart to understanding—
3 yes, if you will call for insight and raise your voice for discernment,
3 indeed, if you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding,
4 if you seek it as you would silver and search for it as for hidden treasure -
4 and if you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure,
5 then you will understand the fear of ADONAI and find knowledge of God.
5 then you will understand the fear of the LORDand find the knowledge of God.
6 For ADONAI gives wisdom; from his mouth comes knowledge and understanding.
6 For the LORD gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.
