Proverbs 2 Verses
1
|
Good friend, take to heart what I'm telling you; collect my counsels and guard them with your life. |
2
|
Tune your ears to the world of Wisdom; set your heart on a life of Understanding. |
3
|
That's right--if you make Insight your priority, and won't take no for an answer, |
4
|
Searching for it like a prospector panning for gold, like an adventurer on a treasure hunt, |
5
|
Believe me, before you know it Fear-of-GOD will be yours; you'll have come upon the Knowledge of God. |
6
|
And here's why: GOD gives out Wisdom free, is plainspoken in Knowledge and Understanding. |
7
|
He's a rich mine of Common Sense for those who live well, a personal bodyguard to the candid and sincere. |
8
|
He keeps his eye on all who live honestly, and pays special attention to his loyally committed ones. |
9
|
So now you can pick out what's true and fair, find all the good trails! |
10
|
Lady Wisdom will be your close friend, and Brother Knowledge your pleasant companion. |
11
|
Good Sense will scout ahead for danger, Insight will keep an eye out for you. |
12
|
They'll keep you from making wrong turns, or following the bad directions |
13
|
Of those who are lost themselves and can't tell a trail from a tumbleweed, |
14
|
These losers who make a game of evil and throw parties to celebrate perversity, |
15
|
Traveling paths that go nowhere, wandering in a maze of detours and dead ends. |
16
|
Wise friends will rescue you from the Temptress-- that smooth-talking Seductress |
17
|
Who's faithless to the husband she married years ago, never gave a second thought to her promises before God. |
18
|
Her whole way of life is doomed; every step she takes brings her closer to hell. |
19
|
No one who joins her company ever comes back, ever sets foot on the path to real living. |
20
|
So--join the company of good men and women, keep your feet on the tried and true paths. |
21
|
It's the men who walk straight who will settle this land, the women with integrity who will last here. |
22
|
The corrupt will lose their lives; the dishonest will be gone for good. |
