^{1 Ref} My son, if thou wilt receive my words, And lay up my commandments with thee;

^{2 Ref} So as to incline thine ear unto wisdom, And apply thy heart to understanding;

^{3 Ref} Yea, if thou cry after discernment, And lift up thy voice for understanding;

^{4 Ref} If thou seek her as silver, And search for her as for hid treasures:

^{5 Ref} Then shalt thou understand the fear of Jehovah, And find the knowledge of God.
