These are the proverbs of Solomon son of David, king of Israel,

for gaining wisdom and discipline, for comprehending words of insight,

and for receiving instruction in wise living and in righteousness, justice, and equity.

To impart prudence to the simple and knowledge and discretion to the young,

let the wise listen and gain instruction, and the discerning acquire wise counsel

by understanding the proverbs and parables, the sayings and riddles of the wise.

in the main concourse she cries aloud, at the city gates she makes her speech:

My son, if you accept my words and hide my commandments within you,

if you incline your ear to wisdom and direct your heart to understanding,

if you truly call out to insight and lift your voice to understanding,

if you seek it like silver and search it out like hidden treasure,

then you will discern the fear of the LORD and discover the knowledge of God.

For the LORD gives wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding.

For wisdom will enter your heart, and knowledge will delight your soul.

Discretion will watch over you, and understanding will guard you,
