Unchecked Copy BoxPro 2:1 -
My son, if thou wilt receive my words,
And lay up my commandments with thee;
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 2:2 -
So as to incline thine ear unto wisdom,
And apply thy heart to understanding;
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 2:3 -
Yea, if thou cry after discernment,
And lift up thy voice for understanding;
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 2:4 -
If thou seek her as silver,
And search for her as for hid treasures:
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 2:5 -
Then shalt thou understand the fear of Jehovah,
And find the knowledge of God.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 2:6 -
For Jehovah giveth wisdom;
Out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding:
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 2:7 -
He layeth up sound wisdom for the upright;
He is a shield to them that walk in integrity;
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 2:8 -
That he may guard the paths of justice,
And preserve the way of his saints.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 2:9 -
Then shalt thou understand righteousness and justice,
And equity, yea, every good path.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 2:10 -
For wisdom shall enter into thy heart,
And knowledge shall be pleasant unto thy soul;
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 2:11 -
Discretion shall watch over thee;
Understanding shall keep thee:
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 2:12 -
To deliver thee from the way of evil,
From the men that speak perverse things;
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 2:13 -
Who forsake the paths of uprightness,
To walk in the ways of darkness;
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 2:14 -
Who rejoice to do evil,
And delight in the perverseness of evil;
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 2:15 -
Who are crooked in their ways,
And wayward in their paths:
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 2:16 -
To deliver thee from the strange woman,
Even from the foreigner that flattereth with her words;
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 2:17 -
That forsaketh the friend of her youth,
And forgetteth the covenant of her God:
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 2:18 -
For her house inclineth unto death,
And her paths unto the dead;
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 2:19 -
None that go unto her return again,
Neither do they attain unto the paths of life:
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 2:20 -
That thou mayest walk in the way of good men,
And keep the paths of the righteous.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 2:21 -
For the upright shall dwell in the land,
And the perfect shall remain in it.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 2:22 -
But the wicked shall be cut off from the land,
And the treacherous shall be rooted out of it.
