Verse 4 is found in chapter 2 of Proverbs. The chapter describes the diligent pursuit of wisdom through a series of accumulating verbs: receive, treasure, incline the ear, cry out, and seek. This is not knowledge acquired passively, but an active disposition before God. The reward is moral discernment: understanding righteousness, justice, and equity. Biblical wisdom therefore appears as the capacity to live rightly, not merely as the accumulation of information.

so du sie suchest wie Silber und nach ihr froschest wie nach Schätzen:
Si como a la plata la buscares, Y la escudriñares como a tesoros;
si lo buscas como a la plata y lo procuras como a tesoros escondidos,
Si tu la cherches comme l'argent, Si tu la poursuis comme un trésor,
Se tu la cerchi come l’argento, E l’investighi come i tesori;
Se como a prata a buscares e como a tesouros escondidos a procurares,
尋找她,如尋找銀子, 搜尋她,如搜尋寶藏,
