Our heart has not turned back, nor have our steps departed from your way;
Buy truth, and do not sell it; buy wisdom, instruction, and understanding.

Many are my persecutors and my adversaries, but I do not swerve from your testimonies.
The insolent utterly deride me, but I do not turn away from your law.
My foot has held fast to his steps; I have kept his way and have not turned aside.
My son, do not forget my teaching, but let your heart keep my commandments,
The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom, and whatever you get, get insight.
