1My son, if you accept my words and store up my commands within you,2turning your ear to wisdom and applying your heart to understanding—3indeed, if you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding,4and if you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure,5then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God.6For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.
