Proverbs 2:1
|
My son, if thou wilt receive my words, And lay up my commandments with thee;
|
|
Proverbs 2:2
|
So as to incline thine ear unto wisdom, And apply thy heart to understanding;
|
|
Proverbs 2:3
|
Yea, if thou cry after discernment, And lift up thy voice for understanding;
|
|
Proverbs 2:4
|
If thou seek her as silver, And search for her as for hid 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 [cometh] 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
|
That he may guard the paths of justice, And preserve the way of his saints.
|
|
Proverbs 2:9
|
Then shalt thou understand righteousness and justice, And equity, [yea], every good path.
|

|
|
Proverbs 2:11
|
Discretion shall watch over thee; Understanding shall keep thee:
|
|
Proverbs 2:12
|
To deliver thee from the way of evil, From the men that speak perverse things;
|
|
Proverbs 2:13
|
Who forsake the paths of uprightness, To walk in the ways of darkness;
|
|
Proverbs 2:14
|
Who rejoice to do evil, And delight in the perverseness of evil;
|
|
Proverbs 2:15
|
Who are crooked in their ways, And wayward in their paths:
|
|
Proverbs 2:16
|
To deliver thee from the strange woman, Even from the foreigner that flattereth with her words;
|
|
Proverbs 2:17
|
That forsaketh the friend 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 unto the paths of life:
|
|
Proverbs 2:20
|
That thou mayest walk in the way of good men, 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.
|
|

|
But the wicked shall be cut off from the land, And the treacherous shall be rooted out of it.
