| 1 | My son, if you accept my sayings, || And lay up my commands with 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 | To cause your ear to attend to wisdom, || You incline 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 | For if you call for intelligence, || [And] give forth your voice for intelligence, | 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 her as silver, || And search for her as 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 you understand the fear of YHWH, || And you 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 YHWH gives wisdom, || Knowledge and understanding from His mouth. | 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 | Even to lay up substance for the upright, || A shield for those walking uprightly. | 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 | To keep the paths of judgment, || And He preserves the way 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. | |
