Prov.|2:1|-||a|My son, if you receive my wordsAnd treasure up my commandments within you,
Prov.|2:2|-|Making your ear attentive to wisdomAnd inclining your heart to understanding;
Prov.|2:3|-|Indeed, if you cry out for discernmentAnd lift up your voice for understanding;
Prov.|2:4|-|If you seek her like silverAnd search for her like hidden treasures,
Prov.|2:5|-|Then you will understand the fear of JehovahAnd find the knowledge of God.
Prov.|2:6|-|For Jehovah |a|gives wisdom;From His mouth come knowledge and understanding;
Prov.|2:7|-|He stores up sound wisdom for the upright;He is a shield to those who walk in integrity,
Prov.|2:8|-|Guarding the paths of justiceAnd keeping the way of His faithful ones.
Prov.|2:9|-|Then you will understand righteousness and justiceAnd equity, indeed, every good path.
Prov.|2:10|-|For wisdom will enter your heart,And knowledge will be pleasant to your soul;
Prov.|2:11|-|Discretion will watch over you;Understanding will keep you:
Prov.|2:12|-|To deliver you from the way of evil,From the man who speaks perverse things,
Prov.|2:13|-|From those who forsake the paths of uprightnessTo walk in the ways of darkness,
Prov.|2:14|-|Who rejoice in doing evilAnd delight in the perverseness of evil,
Prov.|2:15|-|Whose paths are crooked,And who are devious in their ways;
Prov.|2:16|-|To deliver you from the strange woman,From the adulteress who flatters with her words,
Prov.|2:17|-|Who forsakes the companion of her youthAnd forgets the covenant of her God;
Prov.|2:18|-|For her house sinks down to death,And her paths lead to the dead;
Prov.|2:19|-|None who go to her ever return,Nor do they attain to the |a|paths of life;
Prov.|2:20|-|That you may walk in the way of good menAnd keep the paths of the righteous;
Prov.|2:21|-|For the upright will dwell in the |a|land,And the perfect will remain in it;
Prov.|2:22|-|But the wicked will be cut off from the land,And the treacherous will be uprooted from it.
