"So as to incline thine ear unto wisdom, And apply thy heart to understanding; "
— Proverbs 2:2, American Standard Version
“So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding;”
“So as to turn your ear to wisdom, and apply your heart to understanding;”
“by making your ear attentive to wisdom, and by turning your heart to understanding,”
“That thy ear may hearken to wisdom: incline thy heart to know prudence.”
“So that your ear gives attention to wisdom, and your heart is turned to knowledge;”
“So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding;”
My son, if thou wilt receive my words, And lay up my commandments with thee;
So as to incline thine ear unto wisdom, And apply thy heart to understanding;
Yea, if thou cry after discernment, And lift up thy voice for understanding;
If thou seek her as silver, And search for her as for hid treasures:
Then shalt thou understand the fear of Jehovah, And find the knowledge of God.
