- 2:1
- My
son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with
thee;
- 2:2
- So that thou incline thine ear unto
wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding;
- 2:3
- Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and
liftest up thy voice for understanding;
- 2:4
- If thou seekest her as silver, and
searchest for her as for hid treasures;
- 2:5
- Then shalt thou understand the fear of
the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.
- 2:6
- For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his
mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.
- 2:7
- He layeth up sound wisdom for the
righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly.
- 2:8
- He keepeth the paths of judgment, and
preserveth the way of his saints.
- 2:9
- Then shalt thou understand righteousness,
and judgment, and equity; yea, every good path.
- 2:10
- When wisdom entereth into thine heart,
and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul;
- 2:11
- Discretion shall preserve thee,
understanding shall keep thee:
- 2:12
- To deliver thee from the way of the evil
man, from the man that speaketh froward things;
- 2:13
- Who leave the paths of uprightness, to
walk in the ways of darkness;
- 2:14
- Who rejoice to do evil, and delight in
the frowardness of the wicked;
- 2:15
- Whose ways are crooked, and they froward
in their paths:
- 2:16
- To deliver thee from the strange woman,
even from the stranger which flattereth with her words;
- 2:17
- Which forsaketh the guide of her youth,
and forgetteth the covenant of her God.
- 2:18
- For her house inclineth unto death, and
her paths unto the dead.
- 2:19
- None that go unto her return again,
neither take they hold of the paths of life.
- 2:20
- That thou mayest walk in the way of good
men, and keep the paths of the righteous.
- 2:21
- For the upright shall dwell in the land,
and the perfect shall remain in it.
- 2:22
- But the wicked shall be cut off from the
earth, and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it.
