CHAPTER 2

My son,

if

you accept

my words

and hide

my commandments

within you,

if you incline

your ear

to wisdom

and direct

your heart

to understanding,

if you

truly

call out

to insight

and lift

your voice

to understanding,

if

you seek

it like silver

and search it out

like hidden treasure,

then

you will discern

the fear

of the LORD

and discover

the knowledge

of God.

For

the LORD

gives

wisdom;

from His mouth

come knowledge

and understanding.

He stores up

sound wisdom

for the upright;

He is a shield

to those who walk

with integrity,

to guard

the paths

of justice

and protect

the way

of His saints.

Then

you will discern

righteousness

and justice

and equity—

every

good

path.

For

wisdom

will enter

your heart,

and knowledge

will delight

your soul.

Discretion

will watch over you,

and understanding

will guard you,

to deliver you

from the way

of evil,

from the man

who speaks

perversity,

from those who leave

the straight

paths

to walk

in the ways

of darkness,

from those who enjoy

doing

evil

and rejoice

in the twistedness

of evil,

whose

paths

are crooked,

and whose ways

are devious.

It will rescue you

from the forbidden

woman,

from the stranger

with seductive

words,

who abandons

the partner

of her youth

and forgets

the covenant

of her God.

For

her house

sinks down

to

death,

and her tracks

to

the departed spirits.

None

who go to her

return

or

negotiate

the paths

of life.

So

you will follow

in the ways

of good men,

and keep to

the paths

of the righteous.

For

the upright

will inhabit

the land,

and the blameless

will remain in it;

but the wicked

will be cut off

from

the land,

and the unfaithful

will be uprooted.
