ASV(i)
1 My son, if thou wilt receive my words,
And lay up my commandments with thee; 2 So as to incline thine ear unto wisdom,
And apply thy heart to understanding; 3 Yea, if thou cry after discernment,
And lift up thy voice for understanding; 4 If thou seek her as silver,
And search for her as for hid treasures: 5 Then shalt thou understand the fear of Jehovah,
And find the knowledge of God. 6 For Jehovah giveth wisdom;
Out of his mouth [cometh] knowledge and understanding: 7 He layeth up sound wisdom for the upright;
[He is] a shield to them that walk in integrity; 8 That he may guard the paths of justice,
And preserve the way of his saints. 9 Then shalt thou understand righteousness and justice,
And equity, [yea], every good path. 10 For wisdom shall enter into thy heart,
And knowledge shall be pleasant unto thy soul; 11 Discretion shall watch over thee;
Understanding shall keep thee:
