Proverbs 2 Verses
1
|
My child, if you receive my words, and store up my commands within you, |
2
|
by making your ear attentive to wisdom, and by turning your heart to understanding, |
3
|
indeed, if you call out for discernment— raise your voice for understanding— |
4
|
if you seek it like silver, and search for it like hidden treasure, |
5
|
then you will understand how to fear the LORD, and you will discover knowledge about God. |
6
|
For the LORD gives wisdom, and from his mouth comes knowledge and understanding. |
7
|
He stores up effective counsel for the upright, and is like a shield for those who live with integrity, |
8
|
to guard the paths of the righteous and to protect the way of his pious ones. |
9
|
Then you will understand righteousness and justice and equity— every good way. |
10
|
For wisdom will enter your heart, and moral knowledge will be attractive to you. |
11
|
Discretion will protect you, understanding will guard you, |
12
|
to deliver you from the way of the wicked, from those speaking perversity, |
13
|
who leave the upright paths to walk on the dark ways, |
14
|
who delight in doing evil, they rejoice in perverse evil; |
15
|
whose paths are morally crooked, and who are devious in their ways; |
16
|
to deliver you from the adulteress, from the sexually loose woman who speaks flattering words; |
17
|
who leaves the husband from her younger days, and forgets her marriage covenant made before God. |
18
|
For her house sinks down to death, and her paths lead to the place of the departed spirits. |
19
|
None who go in to her will return, nor will they reach the paths of life. |
20
|
So you will walk in the way of good people, and will keep on the paths of the righteous. |
21
|
For the upright will reside in the land, and those with integrity will remain in it, |
22
|
but the wicked will be removed from the land, and the treacherous will be torn away from it. |
