The Value of Wisdom

1 aMy son, bif you receive my words
and treasure up my commandments with you,
 2making your ear attentive to wisdom
and inclining your heart to understanding;
 3yes, if you call out for insight
and raise your voice cfor understanding,
 4if you seek it like dsilver
and search for it as for ehidden treasures,
 5then fyou will understand the fear of the Lord
and find the knowledge of God.
 6For gthe Lord gives wisdom;
from his mouth come knowledge and understanding;
