Proverbs 2:1
|
My son, if thou receivest my words, and layest up my commandments with thee,
|
Proverbs 2:2
|
so that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom [and] thou apply thy heart to understanding;
|
Proverbs 2:3
|
yea, if thou criest after discernment [and] liftest up thy voice to understanding;
|
Proverbs 2:4
|
if thou seekest her as silver and searchest for her as for hidden treasures:
|
Proverbs 2:5
|
then shalt thou understand the fear of Jehovah, and find the knowledge of God.
|
Proverbs 2:6
|
For Jehovah giveth wisdom; out of his mouth [come] knowledge and understanding.
|
Proverbs 2:7
|
He layeth up sound wisdom for the upright; [he] is a shield to them that walk in integrity;
|
Proverbs 2:8
|
guarding the paths of just judgment and keeping the way of his godly ones.
|
Proverbs 2:9
|
Then shalt thou understand righteousness and judgment and equity: every good path.
|
Proverbs 2:10
|
When wisdom entereth into thy heart and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul,
|
Proverbs 2:11
|
discretion shall keep thee, understanding shall preserve thee:
|
Proverbs 2:12
|
To deliver thee from the way of evil, from the man that speaketh froward things;
|
Proverbs 2:13
|
[from those] who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness;
|
Proverbs 2:14
|
who rejoice to do evil, [and] delight in the frowardness of evil;
|
Proverbs 2:15
|
whose paths are crooked, and who are perverted in their course:
|
Proverbs 2:16
|
To deliver thee from the strange woman, from the stranger who flattereth with her words;
|
Proverbs 2:17
|
who forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God;
|
Proverbs 2:18
|
-- for her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead;
|
Proverbs 2:19
|
none that go unto her return again, neither do they attain to the paths of life:
|
Proverbs 2:20
|
-- that thou mayest walk in the way of the good, and keep the paths of the righteous.
|
Proverbs 2:21
|
For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it;
|
Proverbs 2:22
|
but the wicked shall be cut off from the land, and the unfaithful shall be plucked up out of it.
