3For, if for intelligence thou callest, For understanding givest forth thy voice,
3For, if for intelligence thou callest, For understanding givest forth thy voice,
1 My son, if thou dost accept my sayings, And my commands dost lay up with thee,
2 To cause thine ear to attend to wisdom, Thou inclinest thy heart to understanding,
3 For, if for intelligence thou callest, For understanding givest forth thy voice,
4 If thou dost seek her as silver, And as hid treasures searchest for her,
5 Then understandest thou fear of Jehovah, And knowledge of God thou findest.
2:3Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, [and] liftest up thy voice for understanding;
2:3and if you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding,
2:3For if thou shalt call for wisdom, and incline thy heart to prudence:
2:3Yea, if thou cry after discernment, And lift up thy voice for understanding;
2:3yea, if thou criest after discernment and liftest up thy voice to understanding;
2:3Yea, if thou cry after discernment, and lift up thy voice for understanding;
2:3Yes, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding;
2:3Yes, if you call out for discernment, and lift up your voice for understanding;
2:3Yes, if you cry after knowledge, and lift up your voice for understanding;
