"so that your ears may listen to wisdom, then bend your heart in order to know prudence. "
— Proverbs 2:2, Catholic Public Domain Version
“So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding;”
“So as to incline thine ear unto wisdom, And apply thy 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 you would accept my words, and conceal my commandments within you,
so that your ears may listen to wisdom, then bend your heart in order to know prudence.
For if you would call upon wisdom and bend your heart to prudence,
if you will seek her like money, and dig for her as if for treasure,
then you will understand the fear of the Lord, and you will discover the knowledge of God.
