King James Version with Apocrypha
"So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding;"
— Proverbs 2:2, King James Version with Apocrypha
“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;”
My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee;
So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding;
Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding;
If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures;
Then shalt thou understand the fear of the Lord, and find the knowledge of God.
