Proverbs 2:1-22

My son
<01121>_,

if thou wilt receive
<03947> (8799)

my words
<0561>_,

and hide
<06845> (8799)

my commandments
<04687>

with thee;

So that thou incline
<07181> (8687)

thine ear
<0241>

unto wisdom
<02451>_,

[and] apply
<05186> (8686)

thine heart
<03820>

to understanding
<08394>_;

Yea, if thou criest
<07121> (8799)

after knowledge
<0998>_,

[and] liftest up
<05414> (8799)

thy voice
<06963>

for understanding
<08394>_;

{liftest...: Heb. givest thy voice}

If thou seekest
<01245> (8762)

her as silver
<03701>_,

and searchest
<02664> (8799)

for her as [for] hid treasures
<04301>_;

Then shalt thou understand
<0995> (8799)

the fear
<03374>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and find
<04672> (8799)

the knowledge
<01847>

of God
<0430>_.

For the LORD
<03068>

giveth
<05414> (8799)

wisdom
<02451>_:

out of his mouth
<06310>

[cometh] knowledge
<01847>

and understanding
<08394>_.

He layeth up
<06845> (8799) (8675) <06845> (8804)

sound wisdom
<08454>

for the righteous
<03477>_:

[he is] a buckler
<04043>

to them that walk
<01980> (8802)

uprightly
<08537>_.

He keepeth
<05341> (8800)

the paths
<0734>

of judgment
<04941>_,

and preserveth
<08104> (8799)

the way
<01870>

of his saints
<02623>_.

Then shalt thou understand
<0995> (8799)

righteousness
<06664>_,

and judgment
<04941>_,

and equity
<04339>_;

[yea], every good
<02896>

path
<04570>_.

When wisdom
<02451>

entereth
<0935> (8799)

into thine heart
<03820>_,

and knowledge
<01847>

is pleasant
<05276> (8799)

unto thy soul
<05315>_;

Discretion
<04209>

shall preserve
<08104> (8799)

thee, understanding
<08394>

shall keep
<05341> (8799)

thee:

To deliver
<05337> (8687)

thee from the way
<01870>

of the evil
<07451>

[man], from the man
<0376>

that speaketh
<01696> (8764)

froward things
<08419>_;

Who leave
<05800> (8802)

the paths
<0734>

of uprightness
<03476>_,

to walk
<03212> (8800)

in the ways
<01870>

of darkness
<02822>_;

Who rejoice
<08056>

to do
<06213> (8800)

evil
<07451>_,

[and] delight
<01523> (8799)

in the frowardness
<08419>

of the wicked
<07451>_;

Whose ways
<0734>

[are] crooked
<06141>_,

and [they] froward
<03868> (8737)

in their paths
<04570>_:

To deliver
<05337> (8687)

thee from the strange
<02114> (8801)

woman
<0802>_,

[even] from the stranger
<05237>

[which] flattereth
<02505> (8689)

with her words
<0561>_;

Which forsaketh
<05800> (8802)

the guide
<0441>

of her youth
<05271>_,

and forgetteth
<07911> (8804)

the covenant
<01285>

of her God
<0430>_.

For her house
<01004>

inclineth
<07743> (8804)

unto death
<04194>_,

and her paths
<04570>

unto the dead
<07496>_.

None that go
<0935> (8802)

unto her return again
<07725> (8799)_,

neither take they hold
<05381> (8686)

of the paths
<0734>

of life
<02416>_.

That thou mayest walk
<03212> (8799)

in the way
<01870>

of good
<02896>

[men], and keep
<08104> (8799)

the paths
<0734>

of the righteous
<06662>_.

For the upright
<03477>

shall dwell
<07931> (8799)

in the land
<0776>_,

and the perfect
<08549>

shall remain
<03498> (8735)

in it.

But the wicked
<07563>

shall be cut off
<03772> (8735)

from the earth
<0776>_,

and the transgressors
<0898> (8802)

shall be rooted out
<05255> (8799)

of it. {rooted: or, plucked up}
