1. vers

My son, if you will receive my words, and store up my commandments within you,


2. vers

so as to turn your ear to wisdom, and apply your heart to understanding;


3. vers

yes, if you call out for discernment, and lift up your voice for understanding;


4. vers

if you seek her as silver, and search for her as for hidden treasures;


5. vers

then you will understand the fear of Yahweh, and find the knowledge of God.


6. vers

For Yahweh gives wisdom. Out of his mouth comes knowledge and understanding.


7. vers

He lays up sound wisdom for the upright. He is a shield to those who walk in integrity,


8. vers

that he may guard the paths of justice, and preserve the way of his saints.


9. vers

Then you will understand righteousness and justice, equity and every good path.


10. vers

For wisdom will enter into your heart. Knowledge will be pleasant to your soul.


11. vers

Discretion will watch over you. Understanding will keep you,


12. vers

to deliver you from the way of evil, from the men who speak perverse things,


13. vers

who forsake the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness,


14. vers

who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the perverseness of evil,


15. vers

who are crooked in their ways, and wayward in their paths,


16. vers

to deliver you from the strange woman, even from the foreigner who flatters with her words,


17. vers

who forsakes the friend of her youth, and forgets the covenant of her God;


18. vers

for her house leads down to death, her paths to the departed spirits.


19. vers

None who go to her return again, neither do they attain to the paths of life.


20. vers

Therefore walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths of the righteous.


21. vers

For the upright will dwell in the land. The perfect will remain in it.

But the wicked will be cut off from the land. The treacherous will be rooted out of it.
