Thomson(i)
1 My son, if thou wilt receive the dictate which I enjoin and hide it with thee,
2 thine ear will hearken to wisdom; and thou wilt apply thy heart to understanding, and transmit it for instruction to thy son.
3 For if thou wilt call upon wisdom: and utter thy voice for understanding;
4 if thou wilt seek for it as silver; and search for it as for treasures;
5 then thou shalt understand the fear of the Lord; and find the knowledge of God.
6 For the Lord giveth wisdom; and from his presence is knowledge and understanding:
7 and he treasureth up salvation for the upright. He will protect their going,
8 that they may keep the paths of rectitude. And he will guard the way of them who reverence him.
9 Then thou shalt understand judgment and justice; and direct all thy wheels right.
10 For when wisdom entereth into thine understanding: and knowledge appeareth pleasant to thy soul:
11 good counsel will keep thee, and holy prudence will guard thee:
