Proverbs

¹ My son, if you accept my words 
       and store up my commands within you,

 ² turning your ear to wisdom 
       and applying your heart to understanding,

 ³ and if you call out for insight 
       and cry aloud for understanding,

 ⁴ and if you look for it as for silver 
       and search for it as for hidden treasure,

 ⁵ then you will understand the fear of the LORD 
       and find the knowledge of God.
