1My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and wilt hide my commandments with thee,

2That thy ear may hearken to wisdom: incline thy heart to know prudence.

3For if thou shalt call for wisdom, and incline thy heart to prudence:

4If thou shalt seek her as money, and shalt dig for her as for a treasure:

5Then shalt thou understand the fear of the Lord, and shalt find the knowledge of God:

6Because the Lord giveth wisdom: and out of his mouth cometh prudence and knowledge.

7He wilt keep the salvation of the righteous, and protect them that walk in simplicity,

8Keeping the paths of justice, and guarding the ways of saints.

9Then shalt thou understand justice, and judgment, and equity, and every good path.

2I will bless the Lord at all times, his praise shall be always in my mouth.

3In the Lord shall my soul be praised: let the meek hear and rejoice.

4O magnify the Lord with me; and let us extol his name together.

5I sought the Lord, and he heard me; and he delivered me from all my troubles.

6Come ye to him and be enlightened: and your faces shall not be confounded.

7This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him: and saved him out of all his troubles.

8The angel of the Lord shall encamp round about them that fear him: and shall deliver them.

9O taste, and see that the Lord is sweet: blessed is the man that hopeth in him.

10Fear the Lord, all ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him.

11The rich have wanted, and have suffered hunger: but they that seek the Lord shall not be deprived of any good.

27Then Peter answering, said to him: Behold we have left all things, and have followed thee: what therefore shall we have?

28And Jesus said to them: Amen I say to you, that you who have followed me, in the regeneration, when the Son of man shall sit on the seat of his majesty, you also shall sit on twelve seats judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

29And every one that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall possess life everlasting.
