² Saying, Where is the King of the Jews whose birth has now taken place? We have seen his star in the east and have come to give him worship.

¹² If a man has the fear of the Lord, the Lord will be his teacher in the way of his pleasure.

¹ My son, if you will take my words to your heart, storing up my laws in your mind;

² So that your ear gives attention to wisdom, and your heart is turned to knowledge;

³ Truly, if you are crying out for good sense, and your request is for knowledge;

⁴ If you are looking for her as for silver, and searching for her as for stored-up wealth;

⁵ Then the fear of the Lord will be clear to you, and knowledge of God will be yours.

⁶ For the Lord gives wisdom; out of his mouth come knowledge and reason:

¹⁷ Those who have given me their love are loved by me, and those who make search for me with care will get me.

¹⁹ And so the words of the prophets are made more certain; and it is well for you to give attention to them as to a light shining in a dark place, till the dawn comes and the morning star is seen in your hearts;
