| 1 | MY son, if you will receive my words and hide my commandments in your heart, | 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 | And incline your ear to wisdom and apply your 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 you cry after knowledge and lift up your 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 you seek it as silver, and search for it as for hidden 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 how to worship 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. | |
| 6 | For it is the LORD who gives 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. | |
| 7 | He stores up hope for the upright; he helps those who walk without blemish. | 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, | |
| 8 | He keeps the paths of justice, and preserves the ways of his saints. | guarding the paths of justice and watching over the way of his saints. | for he guards the course of the just and protects the way of his faithful ones. | |
| 9 | Then you will understand righteousness and justice and the uprightness of all good ways. | Then you will understand righteousness and justice and equity, every good path; | Then you will understand what is right and just and fair—every good path. | |
