Proverbs 2:1-5

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;

     ³     yes, if you call out for insight

and raise your voice 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.
