002:001
My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee;

002:002
So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding;

002:003
Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding;

002:004
If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures;

002:005
Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.

002:006
For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.

002:007
He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly.

002:008
He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints.

002:009
Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yea, every good path.

002:010
When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul;

002:011
Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee:

002:012
To deliver thee from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaketh froward things;

002:013
Who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness;

002:014
Who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the frowardness of the wicked;

002:015
Whose ways are crooked, and they froward in their paths:

002:016
To deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the stranger which flattereth with her words;

002:017
Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God.

002:018
For her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead.

002:019
None that go unto her return again, neither take they hold of the paths of life.

002:020
That thou mayest walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths of the righteous.

002:021
For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it.

002:022
But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it.
