Proverbs Chapter 2 / WEB

The Webster Bible
Proverbs, Chapter 2

   1: My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee;
   2: So that thou incline thy ear to wisdom, [and] apply thy heart to understanding;
   3: Yes, if thou criest after knowledge, [and] liftest up thy voice for understanding;
   4: If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as [for] hid treasures;
   5: Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.
   6: For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth [cometh] knowledge and understanding.
   7: He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: [he is] a buckler to them that walk uprightly.
   8: He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints.
   9: Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; [and] every good path.
   10: When wisdom entereth into thy heart, and knowledge is pleasant to thy soul;
   11: Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee:
   12: To deliver thee from the way of the evil [man], from the man that speaketh froward things;
   13: 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 the wicked;
   15: Whose ways [are] crooked, and [they] froward in their paths:
   16: To deliver thee from the strange woman, [even] 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 to death, and her paths to the dead.
   19: None that go to her return again, neither do they take hold of the paths of life.
   20: That thou mayest walk in the way of good [men], 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 earth, and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it.
