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 inthe 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.
