Proverbs 2
“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
seekest 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 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. 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: To
deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the stranger which flattereth
with her words; Which forsaketh the guide of her
youth, 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.”
Praise ye the
Lord!!!
