The Pursuit of Wisdom Brings Security |
|
|
 |
| Proverbs 2:1 |
|
My son, if you will receive my words And treasure
my commandments within you, |
|
|
|
|
| Proverbs 2:2 |
|
Make your ear attentive to wisdom, Incline your
heart to understanding; |
| |
|
|
| Proverbs 2:3 |
|
For if you cry for discernment, Lift your voice
for understanding; |
| |
|
|
| Proverbs 2:4 |
|
If you seek her as silver And search for her
as for hidden treasures; |
| |
|
|
| Proverbs 2:5 |
|
Then you will discern the fear of the LORD And
discover the knowledge of God. |
| |
|
|
| Proverbs 2:6 |
|
For the LORD gives wisdom; From His mouth come
knowledge and understanding. |
| |
|
|
| Proverbs 2:7 |
|
He stores up sound wisdom for the upright; He
is a shield to those who walk in integrity, |
|
|
|
| Proverbs 2:8 |
|
Guarding the paths of justice, And He preserves
the way of His godly ones. |
|
|
|
| Proverbs 2:9 |
|
Then you will discern righteousness and justice
And equity and every good course. |
|
|
|
| Proverbs 2:10 |
|
For wisdom will enter your heart And knowledge
will be pleasant to your soul; |
|
|
|
| Proverbs 2:11 |
|
Discretion will guard you, Understanding will
watch over you, |
|
|
|
| Proverbs 2:12 |
|
To deliver you from the way of evil, From the
man who speaks perverse things; |
|
|
|
| Proverbs 2:13 |
|
From those who leave the paths of uprightness
To walk in the ways of darkness; |
|
|
|
| Proverbs 2:14 |
|
Who delight in doing evil And rejoice in the
perversity of evil; |
|
|
|
| Proverbs 2:15 |
|
Whose paths are crooked, And who are devious
in their ways; |
|
|
|
| Proverbs 2:16 |
|
To deliver you from the strange woman, From
the adulteress who flatters with her words; |
|
|
|
| Proverbs 2:17 |
|
That leaves the companion of her youth And forgets
the covenant of her God; |
|
|
|
| Proverbs 2:18 |
|
For her house sinks down to death And her tracks
lead to the dead; |
|
|
|
| Proverbs 2:19 |
|
None who go to her return again, Nor do they
reach the paths of life. |
| |
|
|
| Proverbs 2:20 |
|
So you will walk in the way of good men And
keep to the paths of the righteous. |
| |
|
|
| Proverbs 2:21 |
|
For the upright will live in the land And the
blameless will remain in it; |
|
|
|
|
| Proverbs 2:22 |
|
But the wicked will be cut off from the land
And the treacherous will be uprooted from it. |
