My son, if thou receivest my words, and layest up my commandments with thee,

so that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom [and] thou apply thy heart to understanding;
Focus ↗
3
yea, if thou criest after discernment [and] liftest up thy voice to understanding;
Focus ↗
4
if thou seekest her as silver and searchest for her as for hidden treasures:
Focus ↗
5
then shalt thou understand the fear of Jehovah, and find the knowledge of God (Elohim).

For Jehovah giveth wisdom; out of his mouth [come] knowledge and understanding.

To deliver thee from the way of evil, from the man that speaketh froward things;
Focus ↗

[from those] who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness;

who rejoice to do evil, [and] delight in the frowardness of evil;

To deliver thee from the strange woman, from the stranger who flattereth with her words;
Focus ↗
17
who forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God (Elohim);

for her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead;

none that go unto her return again, neither do they attain to the paths of life:

that thou mayest walk in the way of the good, and keep the paths of the righteous.
