^{4 Ref} If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures;

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

^{6 Ref} For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.

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

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

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

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

^{3 Ref} For, if for intelligence thou callest, For understanding givest forth thy voice,

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

^{5 Ref} Then understandest thou fear of Jehovah, And knowledge of God thou findest.

^{6 Ref} For Jehovah giveth wisdom, From His mouth knowledge and understanding.
