| Proverbs 2: (YLT) |
| 1) My son, if thou dost accept my sayings, And my commands dost lay up with thee, |
| 2) To cause thine ear to attend to wisdom, Thou inclinest thy heart to understanding, |
| 3) For, if for intelligence thou callest, For understanding givest forth thy voice, |
| 4) If thou dost seek her as silver, And as hid treasures searchest for her, |
| 5) Then understandest thou fear of Jehovah, And knowledge of God thou findest. |
| 6) For Jehovah giveth wisdom, From His mouth knowledge and understanding. |
| 7) Even to lay up for the upright substance, A shield for those walking uprightly. |
| 8) To keep the paths of judgment, And the way of His saints He preserveth. |
| 9) Then understandest thou righteousness, And judgment, and uprightness -- every good path. |
| 10) For wisdom cometh into thy heart, And knowledge to thy soul is pleasant, |
| 11) Thoughtfulness doth watch over thee, Understanding doth keep thee, |
| 12) To deliver thee from an evil way, From any speaking froward things, |
| 13) Who are forsaking paths of uprightness, To walk in ways of darkness, |
| 14) Who are rejoicing to do evil, They delight in frowardness of the wicked, |
| 15) Whose paths [are] crooked, Yea, they are perverted in their ways. |
| 16) To deliver thee from the strange woman, From the stranger who hath made smooth her sayings, |
| 17) Who is forsaking the guide of her youth, And the covenant of her God hath forgotten. |
| 18) For her house hath inclined unto death, And unto Rephaim her paths. |
| 19) None going in unto her turn back, Nor do they reach the paths of life. |
| 20) That thou dost go in the way of the good, And the paths of the righteous dost keep. |
| 21) For the upright do inhabit the earth, And the perfect are left in it, |
| 22) And the wicked from the earth are cut off, And treacherous dealers plucked out of it! |
