Proverbs 2:2-13

2So that thou inclineH7181 thine earH241 unto wisdomH2451, and applyH5186 thine heartH3820 to understandingH8394; 3Yea, if thou criestH7121 after knowledgeH998, and liftest upH5414 thy voiceH6963 for understandingH8394;1 4If thou seekestH1245 her as silverH3701, and searchestH2664 for her as for hid treasuresH4301; 5Then shalt thou understandH995 the fearH3374 of YhwhH3068, and findH4672 the knowledgeH1847 of GodH430. 6For YhwhH3068 givethH5414 wisdomH2451: out of his mouthH6310 cometh knowledgeH1847 and understandingH8394. 7He layeth upH6845 sound wisdomH8454 for the righteousH3477: he is a bucklerH4043 to them that walkH1980 uprightlyH8537. 8He keepethH5341 the pathsH734 of judgmentH4941, and preservethH8104 the wayH1870 of his saintsH2623. 9Then shalt thou understandH995 righteousnessH6664, and judgmentH4941, and equityH4339; yea, every goodH2896 pathH4570.

10When wisdomH2451 enterethH935 into thine heartH3820, and knowledgeH1847 is pleasantH5276 unto thy soulH5315; 11DiscretionH4209 shall preserveH8104 thee, understandingH8394 shall keepH5341 thee: 12To deliverH5337 thee from the wayH1870 of the evilH7451 man, from the manH376 that speakethH1696 perverse thingsH8419; 13Who leaveH5800 the pathsH734 of uprightnessH3476, to walkH3212 in the waysH1870 of darknessH2822;
