| 1 | My son, if thou wilt receive my words, And lay 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 make thine ear attend unto wisdom, And thy heart incline to discernment; | 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 call for understanding, And lift up thy voice for discernment; | 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 seek her as silver, And search for her as for hid 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 the LORD, 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. | |
