| 2 | by making your ear attentive to wisdom, and by turning 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 | indeed, if you call out for discernment--raise your voice for 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 like silver, and search for it like 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 fear the LORD, and you will discover knowledge about 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 gives wisdom, and from his mouth comes 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 effective counsel for the upright, and is like a shield for those who live with integrity, | 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 guard the paths of the righteous and to protect the way of his pious ones. | 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. | |
