The Pursuit of Wisdom Brings Security

Unchecked Copy BoxPro 2:1 - My son, if you will receive my words
And treasure my commandments within you,
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 2:2 - Make your ear attentive to wisdom;
Incline your heart to understanding.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 2:3 - For if you cry out for insight,
And [fn]raise 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 discover 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 in integrity,
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 2:8 - Guarding the paths of justice,
And He watches over the way of His godly ones.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 2:9 - Then you will discern righteousness, justice,
And integrity, and every good path.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 2:10 - For wisdom will enter your heart,
And knowledge will be delightful to your soul;
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 2:11 - Discretion will watch over you,
Understanding will guard you,
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 2:12 - To rescue you from the way of evil,
From a person 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 delight in doing evil
And rejoice in the perversity of evil;
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 2:15 - Whose paths are crooked,
And who are devious in their ways;
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 2:16 - To rescue you from the strange woman,
From the foreign woman who flatters with her words,
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 2:17 - Who leaves the companion of her youth
And forgets the covenant of her God;
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 2:18 - For her house sinks down to death,
And her tracks lead to the [fn]dead;
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 2:19 - None who go to her return,
Nor do they reach the paths of life.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 2:20 - So you will walk in the way of good people
And keep to the paths of the righteous.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 2:21 - For the upright will live in the land,
And the blameless will remain in it;
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 2:22 - But the wicked will be eliminated from the land,
And the treacherous will be torn away from it.
