| 2:1 |
My son, if you receive my words and treasure up my commandments with you,
|
| 2:2 |
making your ear attentive to wisdom and inclining your heart to understanding;
|
| 2:3 |
yes, if you cry out for insight and raise your voice for understanding,
|
| 2:4 |
if you seek it like silver and search for it as for hidden treasures;
|
| 2:5 |
then you will understand the fear of the LORD and find the knowledge of God.
|
| 2:6 |
For the LORD gives wisdom;from his mouth come knowledge and understanding;
|
| 2:7 |
he stores up sound wisdom for the upright;he is a shield to those who walk in integrity,
|
| 2:8 |
guarding the paths of justice and preserving the way of his saints.
|
| 2:9 |
Then you will understand righteousness and justice and equity, every good path;
|
| 2:10 |
for wisdom will come into your heart, and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul;
|
| 2:11 |
discretion will watch over you;understanding will guard you;
|
| 2:12 |
delivering you from the way of evil, from men of perverted speech,
|
| 2:13 |
who forsake the paths of uprightness to walk in the ways of darkness,
|
| 2:14 |
who rejoice in doing evil and delight in the perverseness of evil;
|
| 2:15 |
men whose paths are crooked, and who are devious in their ways.
|
| 2:16 |
You will be saved from the loose woman, from the adventuress with her smooth words,
|
| 2:17 |
who forsakes the companion of her youth and forgets the covenant of her God;
|
| 2:18 |
for her house sinks down to death, and her paths to the shades;
|
| 2:19 |
none who go to her come back nor do they regain the paths of life.
|
| 2:20 |
So you will walk in the way of good men and keep to the paths of the righteous.
|
| 2:21 |
For the upright will inhabit the land, and men of integrity will remain in it;
|
| 2:22 |
but the wicked will be cut off from the land, and the treacherous will be rooted out of it.
