Chapter 2
-
My son, if you receive my words, And treasure my commands within you,
-
So that you incline your ear to wisdom, And apply your heart to understanding;
-
Yes, if you cry out for discernment, And lift up your voice for understanding,
-
If you seek her as silver, And search for her as for hidden treasures;
-
Then you will understand the fear of the Lord, And find the knowledge of God.
-
For the Lord gives wisdom; From His mouth come knowledge and understanding;
-
He stores up sound wisdom for the upright; He is a shield to those who walk uprightly;
-
He guards the paths of justice, And preserves the way of His saints.
-
Then you will understand righteousness and justice, Equity and every good path.
-
When wisdom enters your heart, And knowledge is pleasant to your soul,
-
Discretion will preserve you; Understanding will keep you,
-
To deliver you from the way of evil, From the man who speaks perverse things,
-
From those who leave the paths of uprightness To walk in the ways of darkness;
-
Who rejoice in doing evil, And delight in the perversity of the wicked;
-
Whose ways are crooked, And who are devious in their paths;
-
To deliver you from the immoral woman, From the seductress who flatters with her words,
-
Who forsakes the companion of her youth, And forgets the covenant of her God.
-
For her house leads down to death, And her paths to the dead;
-
None who go to her return, Nor do they regain the paths of life--
-
So you may walk in the way of goodness, And keep to the paths of righteousness.
-
For the upright will dwell in the land, And the blameless will remain in it;
-
But the wicked will be cut off from the earth, And the unfaithful will be uprooted from it.
