Yahweh Gives Wisdom

2 My son, if you will (A)receive my words
And (B)treasure my commandments within you,
2 (C)To make your ear pay attention to wisdom,
Incline your heart to discernment;
3 For if you call out for understanding,
Give your voice for discernment;
4 If you seek her as (D)silver
And search for her as for (E)hidden treasures;
5 Then you will understand the (F)fear of Yahweh
And find the knowledge of God.
