Proverbs 2

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