"Yes, if you call out for discernment, and lift up your voice for understanding;"
— Proverbs 2:3, World English Bible
“Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding;”
“Yea, if thou cry after discernment, And lift up thy 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 you will receive my words, and store up my commandments within you;
So as to turn your ear to wisdom, and apply your heart to understanding;
Yes, if you call out for discernment, and lift up your voice for understanding;
If you seek her as silver, and search for her as for hidden treasures:
then you will understand the fear of Yahweh, and find the knowledge of God.
For Yahweh gives wisdom. Out of his mouth comes knowledge and understanding.
