| 1 | My son, if thou wilt receive the utterance of my commandment, and hide it 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 | thine ear shall hearken to wisdom; thou shalt also apply thine heart to understanding, and shalt apply it to the instruction of thy son. | 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 it thou shalt call to wisdom, and utter thy 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 | and if thou shalt seek it as silver, and search diligently for it as for 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. | |
| 6 | For the Lord gives wisdom; and from his presence 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 | and he treasures up salvation for them that walk uprightly: he will protect their way; | 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 | that he may guard the righteous ways: and he will preserve the way of them that fear him. | 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 shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgement; and shalt direct all thy course aright. | 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. | |
