2My child, if you accept my words
and treasure up my commandments within you,
²making your ear attentive to wisdom
and inclining your heart to understanding;
³if you indeed cry out for insight,
and raise your voice for understanding;
⁴if you seek it like silver,
and search for it as for hidden treasures—
⁵then you will understand the fear of the Lord
and find the knowledge of God.
²⁰Therefore walk in the way of the good,
and keep to the paths of the just.
²¹For the upright will abide in the land,
and the innocent will remain in it;
²²but the wicked will be cut off from the land,
and the treacherous will be rooted out of it.
