2 turning your ear to wisdom and applying your heart to understanding—
3 if you indeed cry out for insight, and raise your voice for understanding;
3 indeed, if you call out for insight and cry aloud for 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.
