| 2:1 |
 y sonne, if thou wilt receiue my words, and hide my commaundements with thee; |
|
| 2:2 |
So that thou incline thine eare vnto wisedome, and apply thine heart to vnderstanding: |
|
| 2:3 |
Yea if thou cryest after knowledge, and liftest vp thy voyce for vnderstanding: |
 |
| 2:4 |
If thou seekest her as siluer, and searchest for her, as for hid treasures: |
|
| 2:5 |
Then shalt thou vnderstand the feare of the Lord, and find the knowledge of God. |
|
| 2:6 |
For the Lord giueth wisedome: out of his mouth commeth knowledge, and vnderstanding. |
|
| 2:7 |
He layeth vp sound wisedome for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walke vprightly. |
|
| 2:8 |
He keepeth the pathes of iudgement, and preserueth the way of his Saints. |
|
| 2:9 |
Then shalt thou vnderstand righteousnesse, and iudgement, and equity; yea euery good path. |
|
| 2:10 |
When wisedome entreth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant vnto thy soule; |
|
| 2:11 |
Discretion shall preserue thee, vnderstanding shall keepe thee: |
|
| 2:12 |
To deliuer thee from the way of the euill man, from the man that speaketh froward things. |
|
| 2:13 |
Who leaue the pathes of vprightnesse, to walke in the wayes of darkenesse: |
|
| 2:14 |
Who reioyce to doe euill, and delight in the frowardnesse of the wicked. |
|
| 2:15 |
Whose wayes are crooked, and they froward in their pathes. |
|
| 2:16 |
To deliuer thee from the strange woman, euen from the stranger, which flattereth with her words: |
|
| 2:17 |
Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the couenant of her God. |
|
| 2:18 |
For her house inclineth vnto death, and her pathes vnto the dead: |
|
| 2:19 |
None that goe vnto her, returne againe, neither take they hold of the pathes of life. |
|
| 2:20 |
That thou mayest walke in the way of good men, and keepe the pathes of the righteous. |
|
| 2:21 |
For the vpright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remaine in it. |
|
| 2:22 |
But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the transgressours shalbe rooted out of it. |
