5 Alors tu comprendras la crainte de l’Éternel, Et tu trouveras la connaissance de Dieu.

6 Car l’Éternel donne la sagesse; De sa bouche sortent la connaissance et l’intelligence;

8 En protégeant les sentiers de la justice Et en gardant la voie de ses fidèles.

9 Alors tu comprendras la justice, l’équité, La droiture, toutes les routes qui mènent au bien.
