Proverbs 2:1-5

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

2 My son, 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 cry out for insight
    and raise your voice for understanding,
⁴ if you seek it like silver
    and search for it as for hidden treasures;
⁵ then you will understand the fear of the Lord
    and find the knowledge of God.
