[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] [18] [19] [20] [21] [22] [23] [24] [25] [26] [27] [28] [29] [30] [31]

PROV 2:1 My son, if thou dost accept my sayings, And my commands dost lay up with thee,

PROV 2:2 To cause thine ear to attend to wisdom, Thou inclinest thy heart to understanding,

PROV 2:3 For, if for intelligence thou callest, For understanding givest forth thy voice,

PROV 2:4 If thou dost seek her as silver, And as hid treasures searchest for her,

PROV 2:5 Then understandest thou fear of Jehovah, And knowledge of God thou findest.

PROV 2:6 For Jehovah giveth wisdom, From His mouth knowledge and understanding.

PROV 2:7 Even to lay up for the upright substance, A shield for those walking uprightly.

PROV 2:8 To keep the paths of judgment, And the way of His saints He preserveth.

PROV 2:9 Then understandest thou righteousness, And judgment, and uprightness -- every good path.

PROV 2:10 For wisdom cometh into thy heart, And knowledge to thy soul is pleasant,

PROV 2:11 Thoughtfulness doth watch over thee, Understanding doth keep thee,

PROV 2:12 To deliver thee from an evil way, From any speaking froward things,

PROV 2:13 Who are forsaking paths of uprightness, To walk in ways of darkness,

PROV 2:14 Who are rejoicing to do evil, They delight in frowardness of the wicked,

PROV 2:15 Whose paths `are' crooked, Yea, they are perverted in their ways.

PROV 2:16 To deliver thee from the strange woman, From the stranger who hath made smooth her sayings,

PROV 2:17 Who is forsaking the guide of her youth, And the covenant of her God hath forgotten.

PROV 2:18 For her house hath inclined unto death, And unto Rephaim her paths.

PROV 2:19 None going in unto her turn back, Nor do they reach the paths of life.

PROV 2:20 That thou dost go in the way of the good, And the paths of the righteous dost keep.

PROV 2:21 For the upright do inhabit the earth, And the perfect are left in it,

PROV 2:22 And the wicked from the earth are cut off, And treacherous dealers plucked out of it!
