| 1 | My son, if you would accept my words, and conceal my commandments within you, | My son, if you receive my words and treasure up my commandments with you, | My son, if you accept my words and store up my commands within you, | |
| 2 | so that your ears may listen to wisdom, then bend your heart in order to know prudence. | making your ear attentive to wisdom and inclining your heart to understanding; | turning your ear to wisdom and applying your heart to understanding— | |
| 3 | For if you would call upon wisdom and bend your heart to prudence, | yes, if you call out for insight and raise your voice for understanding, | indeed, if you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding, | |
| 4 | if you will seek her like money, and dig for her as if for treasure, | if you seek it like silver and search for it as for hidden treasures, | 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 the Lord, and you will discover the knowledge of God. | then you will understand the fear of the LORD and find the knowledge of God. | then you will understand the fear of the LORD and find the knowledge of God. | |
| 6 | For the Lord bestows wisdom, and out of his mouth, prudence and knowledge. | For the LORD gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding; | For the LORD gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding. | |
| 7 | He will preserve the salvation of the righteous, and he will protect those who walk in simplicity: | he stores up sound wisdom for the upright; he is a shield to those who walk in integrity, | He holds success in store for the upright, he is a shield to those whose walk is blameless, | |
