(Pro 2:1) My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee;
(Pro 2:2) So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, {and} apply thine heart to understanding;
(Pro 2:3) Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, {and} liftest up thy voice for understanding;
(Pro 2:4) If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as {for} hid treasures;
(Pro 2:5) Then shalt thou understand the fear of the Lord, and find the knowledge of God.
(Pro 2:6) For the Lord giveth wisdom: out of his mouth {cometh} knowledge and understanding.
(Pro 2:7) He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: {he is} a buckler to them that walk uprightly.
(Pro 2:8) He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints.
(Pro 2:9) Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; {yea}, every good path.
(Pro 2:10) When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul;
(Pro 2:11) Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee:
(Pro 2:12) To deliver thee from the way of the evil {man}, from the man that speaketh froward things;
(Pro 2:13) Who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness;
(Pro 2:14) Who rejoice to do evil, {and} delight in the frowardness of the wicked;
(Pro 2:15) Whose ways {are} crooked, and {they} froward in their paths:
(Pro 2:16) To deliver thee from the strange woman, {even} from the stranger {which} flattereth with her words;
(Pro 2:17) Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God.
(Pro 2:18) For her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead.
(Pro 2:19) None that go unto her return again, neither take they hold of the paths of life.
(Pro 2:20) That thou mayest walk in the way of good {men}, and keep the paths of the righteous.
(Pro 2:21) For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it.
(Pro 2:22) But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it.
