King James Version
"Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding;"
— Proverbs 2:3, King James Version
“Yea, if thou cry after discernment, And lift up thy voice for understanding; ”
“Yes, if you call out for discernment, and lift up your voice for understanding;”
“indeed, if you call out for discernment– shout loudly for understanding–”
“For if thou shalt call for wisdom, and incline thy heart to prudence:”
“Truly, if you are crying out for good sense, and your request is for knowledge;”
“Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding;”
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.
For the Lord giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.
