Proverbs 2
My
son,
if
thou
wilt
receive
my
words,
and
a
hide
my
commandments
with
thee;
2 So
that
thou
incline
thine
ear
unto
wisdom,
and
apply
thine
a
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
a
fear
of
the
Lord,
and
find
the
b
knowledge
of
God.
6 For
the
Lord
giveth
a
wisdom:
out
of
his
mouth
cometh
knowledge
and
b
understanding.
7 He
layeth
up
sound
wisdom
for
the
righteous:
he
is
a
a
buckler
to
them
that
b
walk
uprightly.
8 He
keepeth
the
paths
of
judgment,
and
preserveth
the
way
of
his
saints.
9 Then
shalt
thou
a
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
a
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
a
walk
in
the
ways
of
darkness;
14 Who
rejoice
to
do
evil,
and
delight
in
the
a
frowardness
of
the
wicked;
15 Whose
ways
are
crooked,
and
they
froward
in
their
paths:
16 To
deliver
thee
from
the
a
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
a
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
a
upright
shall
dwell
in
the
land,
and
the
perfect
shall
remain
in
it.
22 But
the
wicked
shall
be
a
cut
off
from
the
earth,
and
the
transgressors
shall
be
rooted
out
of
it.
