| Proverbs 2: (KJV) |
| 1) My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee; |
| 2) So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding; |
| 3) Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding; |
| 4) If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures; |
| 5) Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God. |
| 6) For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding. |
| 7) He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly. |
| 8) He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints. |
| 9) Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yea, every good path. |
| 10) When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul; |
| 11) Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee: |
| 12) To deliver thee from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaketh froward things; |
| 13) Who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness; |
| 14) Who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the frowardness of the wicked; |
| 15) Whose ways are crooked, and they froward in their paths: |
| 16) To deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the stranger which flattereth with her words; |
| 17) Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God. |
| 18) For her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead. |
| 19) None that go unto her return again, neither take they hold of the paths of life. |
| 20) That thou mayest walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths of the righteous. |
| 21) For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it. |
| 22) But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it. |
