CHAP. II.
1 Wisdom promiseth godliness to her children,
10 and safety from evil company, 20 and direction
in good ways.
1 My son, if thou wilt receive my words,
and hide my commandments with
thee;
2 So that thou incline thy ear to wisdom,
and apply thy heart to understanding;
3 Yes, if thou criest after knowledge,
and note liftest up thy voice for understanding;
4 noteIf 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 noteFor 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; and
every good path.
10 ¶2; When wisdom entereth into thy
heart, and knowledge is pleasant to 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 note strange
woman, note even from the stranger who flattereth
with her words;
17 Who forsaketh the guide of her
youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her
God.
18 For her house inclineth to death,
and her paths to the dead.
19 None that go to her return again,
neither do they take 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 noteFor the upright shall dwell in the
land, and the perfect shall remain in it.
22 noteBut the wicked shall be cut off
from the earth, and the transgressors
shall be note rooted out of it.
