Pr 2:1-9 (King James)

   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. ⁷ He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly. ⁸ He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints. ⁹ Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yea, every good path.

Pr 2:1-9 (Vulgate)

   ¹ [Fili mi, si susceperis sermones meos,
et mandata mea absconderis penes te :
   ² ut audiat sapientiam auris tua,
inclina cor tuum ad cognoscendam prudentiam.
   ³ Si enim sapientiam invocaveris,
et inclinaveris cor tuum prudentiæ ;
   ⁴ si quæsieris eam quasi pecuniam,
et sicut thesauros effoderis illam :
   ⁵ tunc intelliges timorem Domini,
et scientiam Dei invenies,
   ⁶ quia Dominus dat sapientiam,
et ex ore ejus prudentia et scientia.
   ⁷ Custodiet rectorum salutem,
et proteget gradientes simpliciter,
   ⁸ servans semitas justitiæ,
et vias sanctorum custodiens.
   ⁹ Tunc intelliges justitiam, et judicium,
et æquitatem, et omnem semitam bonam.]
