rsv Proverbs:2
rsv@Proverbs:2:1 @ My son, if you receive my words and treasure up my commandments with you,
rsv@Proverbs:2:2 @ making your ear attentive to wisdom and inclining your heart to understanding;
rsv@Proverbs:2:3 @ yes, if you cry out for insight and raise your voice for understanding,
rsv@Proverbs:2:4 @ if you seek it like silver and search for it as for hidden treasures;
rsv@Proverbs:2:5 @ then you will understand the fear of the LORD and find the knowledge of God.
rsv@Proverbs:2:6 @ For the LORD gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding;
rsv@Proverbs:2:7 @ he stores up sound wisdom for the upright; he is a shield to those who walk in integrity,
rsv@Proverbs:2:8 @ guarding the paths of justice and preserving the way of his saints.
rsv@Proverbs:2:9 @ Then you will understand righteousness and justice and equity, every good path;
rsv@Proverbs:2:10 @ for wisdom will come into your heart, and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul;
rsv@Proverbs:2:11 @ discretion will watch over you; understanding will guard you;
rsv@Proverbs:2:12 @ delivering you from the way of evil, from men of perverted speech,
rsv@Proverbs:2:13 @ who forsake the paths of uprightness to walk in the ways of darkness,
rsv@Proverbs:2:14 @ who rejoice in doing evil and delight in the perverseness of evil;
rsv@Proverbs:2:15 @ men whose paths are crooked, and who are devious in their ways.
rsv@Proverbs:2:16 @ You will be saved from the loose woman, from the adventuress with her smooth words,
rsv@Proverbs:2:17 @ who forsakes the companion of her youth and forgets the covenant of her God;
rsv@Proverbs:2:18 @ for her house sinks down to death, and her paths to the shades;
rsv@Proverbs:2:19 @ none who go to her come back nor do they regain the paths of life.
rsv@Proverbs:2:20 @ So you will walk in the way of good men and keep to the paths of the righteous.
rsv@Proverbs:2:21 @ For the upright will inhabit the land, and men of integrity will remain in it;
rsv@Proverbs:2:22 @ but the wicked will be cut off from the land, and the treacherous will be rooted out of it.
