Proverbs, Chapter 2

001:	My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee;
002:	So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding;
003:	Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding;
004:	If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures;
005:	Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.
006:	For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.
007:	He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly.
008:	He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints.
009:	Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yea, every good path.
010:	When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul;
011:	Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee:
012:	To deliver thee from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaketh froward things;
013:	Who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness;
014:	Who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the frowardness of the wicked;
015:	Whose ways are crooked, and they froward in their paths:
016:	To deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the stranger which flattereth with her words;
017:	Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God.
018:	For her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead.
019:	None that go unto her return again, neither take they hold of the paths of life.
020:	That thou mayest walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths of the righteous.
021:	For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it.
022:	But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it.
