| 1 | My son, if thou receivest my words, and layest up my commandments with thee, | 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 thou incline thine ear unto wisdom [and] thou apply thy heart to understanding; | making your ear attentive to wisdom and inclining your heart to understanding; | turning your ear to wisdom and applying your heart to understanding— | |
| 3 | yea, if thou criest after discernment [and] liftest up thy voice to understanding; | 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 thou seekest her as silver and searchest for her as for hidden treasures: | 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 shalt thou understand the fear of Jehovah, and find 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 Jehovah giveth wisdom; out of his mouth [come] knowledge and understanding. | For the LORD gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding; | For the LORD gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding. | |
