5  If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it shall be given to him.

5  But if any of you lacketh wisdom, let him ask of God, who giveth to all liberally and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

5  But if anyone among you is in need of wisdom, let him petition God, who gives abundantly to all without reproach, and it shall be given to him.

7  Thus let not that man expect that he will receive anything of the LORD.
