12 Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge,
    but he who ^(A)hates reproof is ^(B)stupid.

^33 (A)Hear instruction and be wise,
    and do not neglect it.
^34 (B)Blessed is the one who listens to me,
    watching daily at my gates,
    waiting beside my doors.

2 ^(A)My son, ^(B)if you receive my words
    and treasure up my commandments with you,
² making your ear attentive to wisdom
    and inclining your heart to understanding;
³ yes, if you call out for insight
    and raise your voice ^(C)for understanding,
⁴ if you seek it like ^(D)silver
    and search for it as for ^(E)hidden treasures,
⁵ then ^(F)you will understand the fear of the Lord
    and find the knowledge of God.
⁶ For ^(G)the Lord gives wisdom;
    from his mouth come knowledge and understanding;
