2So as to inclineH5186 thine earH241 unto wisdomH2451,And apply thy heartH3820 to understandingH8394;3Yea, if thou cry after discernmentH998,And lift up thy voiceH6963 for understandingH8394;4If thou seekH1245 her as silverH3701,And searchH1245 for her as for hid treasures:5ThenH227 shalt thou understandH995 the fearH3374 of Jehovah,And findH4672 the knowledgeH1847 of GodH430.6For Jehovah giveth wisdomH2451;Out of his mouthH6310 cometh knowledgeH1847 and understandingH8394:7He layeth up soundH8454 wisdomH8454 for the uprightH3477;He isa shieldH4043 to them that walkH1980 in integrityH8537;8That he may guardH8104 the pathsH734 of justiceH4941,And preserveH5341 the wayH1870 of his saints.9ThenH227 shalt thou understandH995 righteousnessH6664 and justiceH4941,And equity, yea, every goodH2896 path.10For wisdomH2451 shall enter into thy heartH3820,And knowledgeH1847 shall be pleasantH5276 unto thy soulH5315;11DiscretionH4209 shall watchH8104 over thee;UnderstandingH8394 shall keepH8104 thee:12To deliverH5337 thee from the wayH1870 of evilH7451,From the menH376 that speakH1696 perverseH8419 thingsH8419;13Who forsakeH5800 the pathsH734 of uprightnessH3476,To walk in the waysH1870 of darknessH2822;
