Proverbs:2
Seeker Overlay ON
*
My son ,
if thou wilt receive my words ,
and hide my commandments with thee ;
*
So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom ,
and apply thine heart to understanding ;
*
Yea ,
if thou criest after knowledge ,
and liftest up thy voice for understanding ;
*
If thou sekest her as silver ,
and searchest for her as for hid treasures ;
*
Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD ,
and find the knowledge of God .
*
For the LORD giveth wisdom :
out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding .
*
He layeth up (
8675 )
sound wisdom for the righteous :
he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly .
*
He keepeth the paths of judgment ,
and preserveth the way of his saints .
*
Then shalt thou understand righteousness ,
and judgment ,
and equity ;
yea ,
every good path ma #
gal #.
*
When wisdom entereth into thine heart ,
and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul ;
*
Discretion shall preserve thee ,
understanding shall keep thee :
*
To deliver thee from the way of the evil man ,
from the man that speaketh froward things ;
*
Who leave the paths of uprightness ,
to walk in the ways of darkness ;
*
Who rejoice to do evil ,
and delight in the frowardness of the wicked ;
*
Whose ways are crooked ,
and they froward in their paths ma #
gal #:
*
To deliver thee from the strange woman ,
even from the stranger which flattereth with her words ;
*
Which forsaketh the guide of her youth na #
uwr #,
and forgetteth the covenant of her God .
*
For her house inclineth unto death ,
and her paths unto the dead .
*
None that go unto her return again ,
neither take they hold of the paths of life .
*
That thou mayest walk in the way of good men ,
and keep the paths of the righteous .
*
For the upright shall dwell in the land ,
and the perfect shall remain in it .
*
But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth ,
and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it .
