Proverbs 2:1-5

My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee; So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, {and} apply thine heart to understanding; Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, {and} liftest up thy voice for understanding; {liftest...: Heb. givest thy voice} If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as {for} hid treasures; Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.
