Proverbs: Chapter 2
THE AUTHORIZED VERSION


 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
leasant 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.
