Proverbs 2:1-22

My son
<01121>_,
if thou wilt receive
<03947> (8799)
my words
<0561>_,
and hide
<06845> (8799)
my commandments
<04687>
with thee;
So that thou incline
<07181> (8687)
thine ear
<0241>
unto wisdom
<02451>_,
[and] apply
<05186> (8686)
thine heart
<03820>
to understanding
<08394>_;
Yea, if thou criest
<07121> (8799)
after knowledge
<0998>_,
[and] liftest up
<05414> (8799)
thy voice
<06963>
for understanding
<08394>_;
{liftest...: Heb. givest thy voice}
If thou seekest
<01245> (8762)
her as silver
<03701>_,
and searchest
<02664> (8799)
for her as [for] hid treasures
<04301>_;
Then shalt thou understand
<0995> (8799)
the fear
<03374>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and find
<04672> (8799)
the knowledge
<01847>
of God
<0430>_.
For the LORD
<03068>
giveth
<05414> (8799)
wisdom
<02451>_:
out of his mouth
<06310>
[cometh] knowledge
<01847>
and understanding
<08394>_.
He layeth up
<06845> (8799) (8675) <06845> (8804)
sound wisdom
<08454>
for the righteous
<03477>_:
[he is] a buckler
<04043>
to them that walk
<01980> (8802)
uprightly
<08537>_.
He keepeth
<05341> (8800)
the paths
<0734>
of judgment
<04941>_,
and preserveth
<08104> (8799)
the way
<01870>
of his saints
<02623>_.
Then shalt thou understand
<0995> (8799)
righteousness
<06664>_,
and judgment
<04941>_,
and equity
<04339>_;
[yea], every good
<02896>
path
<04570>_.
When wisdom
<02451>
entereth
<0935> (8799)
into thine heart
<03820>_,
and knowledge
<01847>
is pleasant
<05276> (8799)
unto thy soul
<05315>_;
Discretion
<04209>
shall preserve
<08104> (8799)
thee, understanding
<08394>
shall keep
<05341> (8799)
thee:
To deliver
<05337> (8687)
thee from the way
<01870>
of the evil
<07451>
[man], from the man
<0376>
that speaketh
<01696> (8764)
froward things
<08419>_;
Who leave
<05800> (8802)
the paths
<0734>
of uprightness
<03476>_,
to walk
<03212> (8800)
in the ways
<01870>
of darkness
<02822>_;
Who rejoice
<08056>
to do
<06213> (8800)
evil
<07451>_,
[and] delight
<01523> (8799)
in the frowardness
<08419>
of the wicked
<07451>_;
Whose ways
<0734>
[are] crooked
<06141>_,
and [they] froward
<03868> (8737)
in their paths
<04570>_:
To deliver
<05337> (8687)
thee from the strange
<02114> (8801)
woman
<0802>_,
[even] from the stranger
<05237>
[which] flattereth
<02505> (8689)
with her words
<0561>_;
Which forsaketh
<05800> (8802)
the guide
<0441>
of her youth
<05271>_,
and forgetteth
<07911> (8804)
the covenant
<01285>
of her God
<0430>_.
For her house
<01004>
inclineth
<07743> (8804)
unto death
<04194>_,
and her paths
<04570>
unto the dead
<07496>_.
None that go
<0935> (8802)
unto her return again
<07725> (8799)_,
neither take they hold
<05381> (8686)
of the paths
<0734>
of life
<02416>_.
That thou mayest walk
<03212> (8799)
in the way
<01870>
of good
<02896>
[men], and keep
<08104> (8799)
the paths
<0734>
of the righteous
<06662>_.
For the upright
<03477>
shall dwell
<07931> (8799)
in the land
<0776>_,
and the perfect
<08549>
shall remain
<03498> (8735)
in it.
But the wicked
<07563>
shall be cut off
<03772> (8735)
from the earth
<0776>_,
and the transgressors
<0898> (8802)
shall be rooted out
<05255> (8799)
of it. {rooted: or, plucked up}
