| 5 | “Get [skillful and godly] wisdom! Acquire understanding [actively seek spiritual discernment, mature comprehension, and logical interpretation]! Do not forget nor turn away from the words of my mouth. | Get wisdom; get insight; do not forget, and do not turn away from the words of my mouth. | Get wisdom, get understanding; do not forget my words or turn away from them. | |
| 6 | “Do not turn away from her (Wisdom) and she will guard and protect you; Love her, and she will watch over you. | Do not forsake her, and she will keep you; love her, and she will guard you. | Do not forsake wisdom, and she will protect you; love her, and she will watch over you. | |
| 7 | “The beginning of wisdom is: Get [skillful and godly] wisdom [it is preeminent]! And with all your acquiring, get understanding [actively seek spiritual discernment, mature comprehension, and logical interpretation]. | The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom, and whatever you get, get insight. | The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding. | |
