putra abdi, lamun anjeun bakal nampa kecap kuring, sareng nyumputkeun parentah abdi sareng anjeun; Ku kituna anjeun condong ceuli Anjeun kana hikmah, jeung nerapkeun haté anjeun pikeun pamahaman; Leres, lamun anjeun ceurik sanggeus pangaweruh, and lightest up the voice for understanding; Upami anjeun milarian anjeunna sapertos pérak, sareng milarian anjeunna sapertos harta karun anu disumputkeun; Lajeng shalt anjeun ngartos sieun Gusti, jeung manggihan pangaweruh Allah (Paribasa 2:1-5)

- Cry after knowledge
- Lift up your voice for understanding
- Néangan her like silver
- Pilarian for her as for hid treasures
- Then you ngarti the fear of the Lord
- Find the knowledge of God
Hear and receive His words
First of all you should listen to Him and receive the Words of God, and keep His words in you. When you keep His words and keep His commandments in your heart, then the Word; Jesus shall live in you. You shall be in Him, and He shall be in you.
Sapertos Yesus nyarios: and the glory which Thou gavest Me I have given them; yén maranéhna bisa jadi hiji, sanajan Kami hiji: Kuring di aranjeunna, sareng Anjeun di Abdi, ambéh maranéhanana bisa jadi sampurna dina hiji; jeung supaya dunya nyaho yen Anjeun geus ngutus Kami, sarta geus dipikacinta aranjeunna, as Thou hast loved Me (Joh 17:22,23)
Hide His commandments in your heart
When you accept His words, sareng tetep dina haté anjeun, then your ear shall notice wisdom.
Incline your ear unto wisdom
You shall incline your ear unto wisdom and therefore you shall become wise. Because faith comes by hearing, jeung dédéngéan ku Firman Allah. The Word shall live in your heart, sareng kusabab éta, you shall live and walk in wisdom, jeung pangaweruh.
Apply your heart to understanding
You shall get understanding by hearing the Word of God, and by speaking the Word of God.
Cry after knowledge and lift up your voice for understanding
You shall cry and lift up your voice to get knowledge and understanding. There must be a desire in your heart to spend time with God, jeung dina Firman-Na. To study His Word, seek and find all truths that are written in the Word (Alkitab).
Seek her like silver and search for her as hidden treasures
You should seek for the truths of God, like you would seek for silver. You should seek, as you would seek for hidden treasures. God has given you an inheritance, and you will only find out if you seek, and search in the word of God. Manéhna hayang nembongkeun eta hal ka anjeun, ngalangkungan kecap na.
When you spend time in His Word, then you shall get to know Him, and get to know the truth of His will.
You shall understand the fear of the Lord
Then you shall understand the fear of the Lord, which is the beginning of knowledge and wisdom. Fear doesn’t mean to be afraid, but it means to be in awe of the Most High God.
You shall find knowledge of God
When you understand the fear of the Lord, then you shall find knowledge of God. You shall walk in the fear of the Lord and in the knowledge of His will. You shall walk on the path of the Lord; the path of life, which will lead you to eternal life.
