Proverbs Chapter 2 / DBY

The Darby Bible
Proverbs, Chapter 2

   1: My son, if thou receivest my words, and layest up my commandments with thee,
   2: so that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom [and] thou apply thy heart to understanding;
   3: yea, if thou criest after discernment [and] liftest up thy voice to understanding;
   4: if thou seekest her as silver and searchest for her as for hidden treasures:
   5: then shalt thou understand the fear of Jehovah, and find the knowledge of God.
   6: For Jehovah giveth wisdom; out of his mouth [come] knowledge and understanding.
   7: He layeth up sound wisdom for the upright; [he] is a shield to them that walk in integrity;
   8: guarding the paths of just judgment and keeping the way of his godly ones.
   9: Then shalt thou understand righteousness and judgment and equity: every good path.
   10: When wisdom entereth into thy heart and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul,
   11: discretion shall keep thee, understanding shall preserve thee:
   12: To deliver thee from the way of evil, from the man that speaketh froward things;
   13: [from those] who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness;
   14: who rejoice to do evil, [and] delight in the frowardness of evil;
   15: whose paths are crooked, and who are perverted in their course:
   16: To deliver thee from the strange woman, from the stranger who flattereth with her words;
   17: who forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God;
   18: -- for her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead;
   19: none that go unto her return again, neither do they attain to the paths of life:
   20: -- that thou mayest walk in the way of the good, and keep the paths of the righteous.
   21: For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it;
   22: but the wicked shall be cut off from the land, and the unfaithful shall be plucked up out of it.
