Proverbs 2:5-20

5thenH227 shalt thou understandH995 the fearH3374 of Jehovah, and findH4672 the knowledgeH1847 of 1GodH430.

6For Jehovah giveth wisdomH2451; out of his mouthH6310 [come] knowledgeH1847 and understandingH8394.

7He layeth up soundH8454 wisdomH8454 for the uprightH3477; [he] is a shieldH4043 to them that walkH1980 in integrityH8537;

8guardingH8104 the pathsH734 of just judgmentH4941 and keepingH8104 the wayH1870 of his 2godly onesH2623.

9ThenH227 shalt thou understandH995 righteousnessH6664 and judgmentH4941 and equity: every goodH2896 path.

10When wisdomH2451 entereth into thy heartH3820 and knowledgeH1847 is pleasantH5276 unto thy soulH5315,

11discretionH4209 shall keepH8104 thee, understandingH8394 shall preserveH5341 thee:

12To deliverH5337 thee from the wayH1870 of evilH7451, from the manH376 that speaketh froward thingsH8419;

13[from those] who leaveH5800 the pathsH734 of uprightnessH3476, to walk in the waysH1870 of darknessH2822;

14who rejoiceH1523 to do evilH7451, [and] delight in the frowardness of evilH7451;

15whose pathsH734 are crooked, and who are perverted in their course:

16To deliverH5337 thee from the strangeH2114 womanH802, from the stranger who flattereth with her wordsH561;

17who forsaketh the guide of her youthH5271, and forgetteth the covenantH1285 of her 3GodH430;

18— for her houseH1004 inclineth unto deathH4194, and her paths unto the dead;

19none that goH935 unto her returnH7725 again, neither do they attain to the pathsH734 of lifeH2416:

20— that thou mayest walk in the wayH1870 of the goodH2896, and keepH8104 the pathsH734 of the righteousH6662.
