1. My son, if thou receivest my words, and layest up my commandments with thee,
2. so that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom and thou apply thy heart to understanding;
3. yea, if thou criest after discernment and liftest up thy voice to understanding;
4. if thou seekest her as silver and searchest for her as for hidden treasures:
5. then shalt thou understand the fear of Jehovah, and find the knowledge of God
