You, Solomon my son, know the God of your father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind; for Yahweh searches all hearts, and understands all the imaginations of the thoughts: if you seek him, he will be found of you; but if you forsake him, he will cast you off forever.

And thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind: for the LORD searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of the thoughts: if thou seek him, he will be found of thee; but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off for ever.

And you, Solomon my son, know the God of your father, and serve him with a whole heart and with a willing soul, for Yahweh is seeking all hearts and he is understanding every intention of thoughts. If you seek him, he will be found by you, but if you abandon him, he will reject you forever.
