³ For, if for intelligence thou callest, For understanding givest forth thy voice,

⁴ If thou dost seek her as silver, And as hid treasures searchest for her,

⁵ Then understandest thou fear of Jehovah, And knowledge of God thou findest.

¹² Only, Jehovah give to thee wisdom and understanding, and charge thee concerning Israel, even to keep the law of Jehovah thy God;

¹⁰ now, wisdom and knowledge give to me, and I go out before this people, and I come in, for who doth judge this Thy great people?'

²⁷ and the priests, the Levites, rise and bless the people, and their voice is heard, and their prayer cometh in to His holy habitation, to the heavens.

²¹ And He is changing times and seasons, He is causing kings to pass away, and He is raising up kings; He is giving wisdom to the wise, and knowledge to those possessing understanding.

⁵ and if any of you do lack wisdom, let him ask from God, who is giving to all liberally, and not reproaching, and it shall be given to him;
