3. For if you cry for discernment, Lift up your voice for understanding,
4. If you seek her as silver, And search for her as hidden treasures,
5. Then you would understand the fear of יהוה, And find the knowledge of Elohim.
6. For יהוה gives wisdom; Out of His mouth come knowledge and understanding.
7. And He treasures up stability for the straight, A shield to those walking blamelessly,
8. To watch over the paths of right-ruling, And the way of His kind ones He guards.
9. Then you would understand righteousness And right-ruling, and straightness – Every good path.
10. For wisdom would enter your heart, And knowledge be pleasant to your being,
11. Discretion would guard you; Understanding would watch over you,
