" ¹ My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee;  ² So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding;  ³ Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding;  ⁴ If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures;  ⁵ Then shalt thou understand the fear of the Lord, and find the knowledge of God.  ⁶ For the Lord giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding."

— Proverbs 2:1-6  (KJV)
