The Value of Wisdom
The Value of Wisdom
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 2:1 - My son, if you receive my words,
And treasure my commands within you,
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 2:2 - So that you incline your ear to wisdom,
And apply your heart to understanding;
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 2:3 - Yes, if you cry out for discernment,
And lift up your voice for understanding,
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 2:4 - If you seek her as silver,
And search for her as for hidden treasures;
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 2:5 - Then you will understand the fear of the LORD,
And find the knowledge of God.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 2:6 - For the LORD gives wisdom;
From His mouth come knowledge and understanding;
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 2:7 - He stores up sound wisdom for the upright;
He is a shield to those who walk uprightly;
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 2:8 - He guards the paths of justice,
And preserves the way of His saints.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 2:9 - Then you will understand righteousness and justice,
Equity and every good path.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 2:10 - When wisdom enters your heart,
And knowledge is pleasant to your soul,
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 2:11 - Discretion will preserve you;
Understanding will keep you,
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 2:12 - To deliver you from the way of evil,
From the man who speaks perverse things,
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 2:13 - From those who leave the paths of uprightness
To walk in the ways of darkness;
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 2:14 - Who rejoice in doing evil,
And delight in the perversity of the wicked;
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 2:15 - Whose ways are crooked,
And who are devious in their paths;
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 2:16 - To deliver you from the immoral woman,
From the seductress who flatters with her words,
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 2:17 - Who forsakes the companion of her youth,
And forgets the covenant of her God.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 2:18 - For her house leads down to death,
And her paths to the dead;
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 2:19 - None who go to her return,
Nor do they regain the paths of life—
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 2:20 - So you may walk in the way of goodness,
And keep to the paths of righteousness.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 2:21 - For the upright will dwell in the land,
And the blameless will remain in it;
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 2:22 - But the wicked will be cut off from the earth,
And the unfaithful will be uprooted from it.
