Proverbs
capítulo 2
verso 1
My son, if you will receive my words, and store up my commandments within you,
verso 2
so as to turn your ear to wisdom, and apply your heart to understanding;
verso 3
yes, if you call out for discernment, and lift up your voice for understanding;
verso 4
if you seek her as silver, and search for her as for hidden treasures;
verso 5
then you will understand the fear of Yahweh, and find the knowledge of God.
verso 6
For Yahweh gives wisdom. Out of his mouth comes knowledge and understanding.
verso 7
He lays up sound wisdom for the upright. He is a shield to those who walk in integrity,
verso 8
that he may guard the paths of justice, and preserve the way of his saints.
verso 9
Then you will understand righteousness and justice, equity and every good path.
verso 10
For wisdom will enter into your heart. Knowledge will be pleasant to your soul.
verso 11
Discretion will watch over you. Understanding will keep you,
verso 12
to deliver you from the way of evil, from the men who speak perverse things,
verso 13
who forsake the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness,
verso 14
who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the perverseness of evil,
verso 15
who are crooked in their ways, and wayward in their paths,
verso 16
to deliver you from the strange woman, even from the foreigner who flatters with her words,
verso 17
who forsakes the friend of her youth, and forgets the covenant of her God;
verso 18
for her house leads down to death, her paths to the departed spirits.
verso 19
None who go to her return again, neither do they attain to the paths of life.
verso 20
Therefore walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths of the righteous.
verso 21
For the upright will dwell in the land. The perfect will remain in it.
verso 22
But the wicked will be cut off from the land. The treacherous will be rooted out of it.
