CLV(i)
1 My son, if you take my words And store up my instructions within you,
2 Attending with your ear to wisdom, And you stretch out your heart to comprehension,
3 Indeed if you call out for understanding, And you lift up your voice for comprehension,
4 If you seek it as for silver And search for it as for buried treasures,
5 Then you shall understand the fear of Yahweh, And you shall find the knowledge of God."
6 For Yahweh Himself gives wisdom; From His mouth come knowledge and comprehension;
7 He stores up sagacity for the upright, A shield for those walking with integrity,
