Proverbs 2:1-9 My son, if thou wilt receive my sayings, and, my commandments, wilt treasure up by thee;

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ My son, if thou wilt receive my sayings, and, my commandments, wilt treasure up by thee; ² So that thou direct, unto wisdom, thine ear, bend thy heart, unto understanding; ³ Yea if, for understanding, thou cry aloud, for knowledge, utter thy voice; ⁴ If thou seek her as silver, and, like hid treasure, thou search for her, ⁵ Then, shalt thou understand the reverence of Yahweh, and, the knowledge of God, shalt thou find. ⁶ For, Yahweh, giveth wisdom, out of his mouth, knowledge and understanding; ⁷ Yea he treasureth, for the upright, safety, A shield [is he] to them who walk in integrity, ⁸ To him that observeth the paths of justice, yea, the way of his men of lovingkindness, he doth guard. ⁹ Then, shalt thou understand righteousness and justice, and equity––every noble course.
