Proverbs 2

1My sonH1121, ifH518 thou wilt receiveH3947 my wordsH561, and layH1121 upH6845 my commandmentsH4687 with thee; 2So that thou inclineH5186 thine earH241 unto wisdomH2451, and apply thine heartH3820 to understandingH8394; 3YeaH3588, ifH518 thou cryH7121 afterH3588 discernmentH998, and liftH5414 upH5414 thy voiceH6963 for understandingH8394; 4IfH518 thou seekH1245 herH518 as silverH3701, and searchH1245 for herH518 as for hid treasuresH4301; 5Then shalt thou understandH995 the fearH3374 of the LORDH3068, and findH4672 the knowledgeH1847 of GodH430. 6For the LORDH3068 giveth wisdomH2451; out of his mouthH6310 cometh knowledgeH1847 and understandingH8394: 7He layeth upH6845 soundH8454 wisdomH8454 for the uprightH3477, he is a shieldH4043 to them that walkH1980 in integrityH8537; 8That he may guardH8104 the pathsH734 of judgmentH4941, and preserveH5341 the wayH1870 of his saints. 9Then shalt thou understandH995 righteousnessH6664 and judgmentH4941, and equityH4339, yea, everyH3605 goodH2896 pathH4570. 10For wisdomH2451 shall enterH935 intoH935 thine 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 froward things; 13Who forsakeH5800 the pathsH734 of uprightnessH3476, to walkH1870 in the waysH1870 of darknessH2822; 14Who rejoiceH1523 to doH6213 evilH7451, and delightH1523 in the frowardness of evilH7451; 15Who are crookedH6141 in their waysH734, and perverseH6141 in their pathsH734: 16To deliverH5337 thee from the strangeH2114 womanH802, even from the strangerH5237 whichH802 flattereth with herH802 wordsH561; 17Which forsaketh the friend of herH7911 youthH5271, and forgetteth the covenantH1285 of herH7911 GodH430: 18For herH413 houseH1004 inclineth unto deathH4194, and herH413 pathsH4570 unto the deadH4194: 19NoneH3808 that goH935 unto herH3605 returnH7725 againH7725, neitherH3808 doH3605 they attainH935 unto the pathsH734 of lifeH2416: 20That thou mayest walkH1870 in the wayH1870 of goodH2896 menH6662, and keepH8104 the pathsH734 of the righteousH6662. 21For the uprightH3477 shall dwellH7931 in the landH776, and the perfectH8549 shall remainH3498 in it. 22But the wickedH7563 shall be cutH3772 offH3772 from the landH776, and they that dealH898 treacherouslyH898 shall be rooted outH4480 of it.
