CHAP. II. 1 Wisedome exhorteth to obey her. 5 She teacheth the feare of God. 6 She is giuen of God. 10 She preserueth from wickednes.

-- --

To trust in the Lord.


1   My sonne, if thou wilt receiue my wordes, and note hide my commandements within thee,


2   And cause thine eares to hearken vnto wisdome, and encline note thine heart to vnderstanding,


3   (For if thou callest after knowledge, note and cryest for vnderstanding:


4   If thou seekest her as siluer, & searchest for her as for note treasures,


5   Then shalt thou vnderstand the feare of the Lord, and finde the note knowledge of God.


6   For the Lorde giueth wisdome, out of his mouth commeth knowledge and vnderstanding.


7   He note preserueth the state of the righteous: he is a shielde to them that walke vprightly,


8   That they may keepe the wayes of iudgement: and he preserueth the way of his Saintes)


9   Then shalt thou vnderstand righteousnes, and iudgement, and equitie, and euery good path.


10   ¶2; When wisdome entreth into thine heart, and knowledge deliteth thy soule,


11   Then shall note counsell preserue thee, and vnderstanding shall keepe thee,


12   And deliuer thee from the euill way, and from the man that speaketh froward things,


13   And from them that leaue the note wayes of righteousnes to walke in the wayes of darkenes:


14   Which reioyce in doing euill, and delite note in the frowardnesse of the wicked,


15   Whose wayes are crooked and they are lewde in their paths.


16   And it shall deliuer thee from the strange note woman, euen from the stranger, which flattereth with her wordes.


17   Which forsaketh the note guide of her youth, and forgetteth the note couenant of her God.


18   Surely her note house tendeth to death, and her paths vnto note the dead.


19   All they that goe vnto her, returne not againe, neither take they holde of the wayes of life.


20   Therefore walke thou in the way of good men, and keepe the wayes of the righteous.


21   For the iust shal dwell in the note land, and the vpright men shall remaine in it.


22   But the wicked shalbe cut off from þe; earth, and the transgressours shalbe rooted out of it.
