1 My sonne, yf thou wilt receaue my wordes, and kepe my commaundementes by the,
2 that thou wylt enclyne thyne eare vnto wysdome, applye thyne hert then to vnderstandynge.
3 For yf thou cryest after wisdome, and callest for knowledge:
4 yf thou sekest after her as after money, and dyggest for her as for treasure,
5 then shalt thou vnderstande the feare of the Lorde, and fynde the knowledge of God.
6 For it is the Lorde that geueth wisdome, out of his mouth commeth knowledge and vnderstandynge.
7 He hydeth vp healthe for the ryghteous. He preserueth the welfare of the ryghteous, and defendeth them that walke syncerely:
8 he kepeth them in the ryght pathe, and preserueth the waye of soche as serue hym with godlynesse.
9 Then shalt thou vnderstande ryghteousnesse, iudment, and equyte: yee, and euery good path.
10 Yf wysdome entre into thyne herte, and thy soule delyte in knowledge:
11 then shall councell preserue the, and vnderstandynge shall kepe the.
