“My son, if thou wilt receive my words, And lay up my commandments with thee; ”
“My son, if you will receive my words, and store up my commandments within you;”

“My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee;”
My son, if you would accept my words, and conceal my commandments within you,
