1. My child, if you will receive my sayings, and hide my commands with you,
2. in order to incline your ear toward wisdom, then you shall apply your heart to understanding.
3. For if you cry out for understanding, if you lift your voice for insight,
4. if you seek her like silver and search her out like treasure,
5. then you will understand the fear of Yahweh, and the knowledge of God you will find.
