CHAP. II.
1 Wisedome promiseth godlinesse to her children,
10 and safety from euill company,
20 and direction in good wayes.
1
My sonne, if thou wilt receiue
my words, and hide
my commaundements
with thee;
2
So that thou incline
thine eare vnto wisedome,
and apply thine heart to vnderstanding:
3
Yea if thou cryest after knowledge,
and note liftest vp thy voyce for vnderstanding:
4
noteIf thou seekest her as siluer, and
searchest for her, as for hid treasures:
5
Then shalt thou vnderstand the
feare of the Lord, and find the
knowledge of God.
6
noteFor the Lord giueth wisedome:
out of his mouth commeth knowledge,
and vnderstanding.
7
He layeth vp sound wisedome for
the righteous: he is a buckler to them
that walke vprightly.
Wisedomes fruits.
8
He keepeth the pathes of iudgement,
and preserueth the way of his
Saints.
9
Then shalt thou vnderstand
righteousnesse, and iudgement, and equity;
yea euery good path.
10
¶ When wisedome entreth into
thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant
vnto thy soule;
11
Discretion shall preserue thee, vnderstanding
shall keepe thee:
12
To deliuer thee from the way of
the euill man, from the man that speaketh
froward things.
13
Who leaue the pathes of vprightnesse,
to walke in the wayes of darkenesse:
14
Who reioyce to doe euill, and delight
in the frowardnesse of the wicked.
15
Whose wayes are crooked, and
they froward in their pathes.
16
To deliuer thee from the strange
woman, note euen from the stranger, which
flattereth with her words:
17
Which forsaketh the guide of her
youth, and forgetteth the couenant of
her God.
18
For her house inclineth vnto
death, and her pathes vnto the dead:
19
None that goe vnto her, returne
againe, neither take they hold of the
pathes of life.
20
That thou mayest walke in the
way of good men, and keepe the pathes
of the righteous.
21
noteFor the vpright shall dwell in
the land, and the perfect shall remaine
in it.
22
noteBut the wicked shall be cut off
from the earth, and the transgressours
shalbe note rooted out of it.
