Proverbs 2:1-5

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.
