JPS_ASV_Byz(i)
1 My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and lay up my commandments with thee;
2 So that thou make thine ear attend unto wisdom, and thy heart incline to discernment;
3 Yea, if thou call for understanding, and lift up thy voice for discernment;
4 If thou seek her as silver, and search for her as for hid treasures;
5 Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.
6 For the LORD giveth wisdom, out of His mouth cometh knowledge and discernment;
7 He layeth up sound wisdom for the upright, He is a shield to them that walk in integrity;
