H7069Get[H8798] H2451wisdomH7069, get[H8798] H998understandingH7911: forget[H8799] H5186it not; neither decline[H8799] H561from the wordsH6310of my mouth.
G1161 G1536If anyG5216of youG3007lack[G5743] G4678wisdomG154, let him ask[G5720] G3844ofG2316GodG1325, that giveth[G5723] G3956to allG574men liberallyG2532, andG3679upbraideth[G5723] G3361notG2532; andG1325it shall be given[G5701] G846him.
H6213And he did[H8799] H3477that which was rightH5869in the sightH3068of the LORDH3212, and walked[H8799] H1870in the waysH1732of DavidH1his fatherH5493, and declined[H8804] H3225neither to the right handH8040, nor to the left.
H7069He that getteth[H8802] H3820wisdomH157loveth[H8802] H5315his own soulH8104: he that keepeth[H8802] H8394understandingH4672shall find[H8800] H2896good.
H4242Wherefore is there a priceH3027in the handH3684of a foolH7069to get[H8800] H2451wisdomH3820, seeing he hath no heart to it ?
H6612O ye simpleH995, understand[H8685] H6195wisdomH3684: and, ye foolsH995, be ye of an understanding[H8685] H3820heart.
H3820Our heartH5472is not turned[H8738] H268backH838, neither have our stepsH5186declined[H8799] H734from thy way;
H7069Buy[H8798] H571the truthH4376, and sell[H8799] H2451it not; also wisdomH4148, and instructionH998, and understanding.
H8378Through desireH6504a man, having separated[H8737] H1245himself, seeketh[H8762] H1566and intermeddleth[H8691] H8454with all wisdom.
H2896How much betterH7069is it to get[H8800] H2451wisdomH2742than goldH7069! and to get[H8800] H998understandingH977rather to be chosen[H8737] H3701than silver!
H7227ManyH7291are my persecutors[H8802] H6862and mine enemiesH5186; yet do I not decline[H8804] H5715from thy testimonies.
H2086The proudH3966have had me greatlyH3887in derision[H8689] H5186: yet have I not declined[H8804] H8451from thy law.
H7272My footH270hath held[H8804] H838his stepsH1870, his wayH8104have I kept[H8804] H5186, and not declined[H8686] .
H1121My sonH7911, forget[H8799] H8451not my lawH3820; but let thine heartH5341keep[H8799] H4687my commandments:
H2451WisdomH7225is the principal thingH7069; therefore get[H8798] H2451wisdomH7075: and with all thy gettingH998get understanding.
