1  My son, if you ^mreceive my words

and ⁿtreasure up my commandments with you,

2  making your ear ^oattentive to wisdom

and inclining your heart to understanding;

3  yes, if you ^pcall out for insight

and raise your voice for understanding,

4  if you ^qseek it like silver

and search for it as for hidden treasures,

5  then you will understand the ^rfear of the Lord

and find the knowledge of God.
