Proverbs 2
1 O son my if you will receive words my and commandments my you will treasure with you.
My son, if thou will receive my words, and lay up my commandments with thee,
2 To make attend to wisdom ear your you will incline heart your to understanding.
so as to incline thine ear to wisdom, and apply thy heart to understanding,
3 That except to discernment you will call to understanding you will give voice your.
yea, if thou cry after discernment, and lift up thy voice for understanding,
4 If you will seek it like silver and like treasures you will search for it.
if thou seek her as silver, and search for her as for hidden treasures,
5 Then you will discern [the] fear of Yahweh and [the] knowledge of God you will find.
then thou shall understand the fear of Jehovah, and find the knowledge of God.
6 For Yahweh he gives wisdom from mouth his knowledge and understanding.
For Jehovah gives wisdom. Out of his mouth is knowledge and understanding.
7 (He stores up *Q(K)*) for upright [people] success a shield to [those who] walk of integrity.
He lays up sound wisdom for the upright, a shield to those who walk in integrity,
8 To guard [the] paths of justice and [the] way of (faithful [people] his *Q(K)*) he will preserve.
that he may guard the paths of justice, and preserve the way of his sanctified.
9 Then you will understand righteousness and justice and uprightness every course of good.
Then thou shall understand righteousness and justice and equity, yea, every good path.
10 For it will come wisdom in heart your and knowledge to self your it will be pleasant.
For wisdom shall enter into thy heart, and knowledge shall be pleasant to thy soul,
11 Discretion it will watch over you understanding it will preserve you.
discretion shall watch over thee, understanding shall keep thee,
12 To deliver you from a way evil from anyone [who] speaks perverse things.
to deliver thee from the way of evil, from the men who speak perverse things,
13 Those [who] leave paths of uprightness to walk in [the] ways of darkness.
who forsake the paths of uprightness to walk in the ways of darkness,
14 The [ones] joyful to do evil they exult in perverse things of evil.
who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the perverseness of evil,
15 Who paths their [are] twisted and [who are] crooked in tracks their.
who are crooked in their ways, and wayward in their paths,
16 To deliver you from a woman strange from a foreign [woman] [who] words her she makes smooth.
to deliver thee from the interloping woman, even from the stranger who flatters with her words,
17 Who leaves [the] close friend of youth her and [the] covenant of God her she forgets.
who forsakes the companion of her youth, and forgets the covenant of her God
18 For she sank down to death house her and to [the] shades tracks her.
(for her house inclines to death, and her paths to the dead;
19 All [those who] go to her not they return! and not they reach [the] paths of life.
none who go to her return again, nor do they attain to the paths of life),
20 So that you may walk in [the] way of good [people] and [the] paths of righteous [people] you will keep.
that thou may walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths of the righteous.
21 For upright [people] (they will dwell *L(bah)*) [the] land and blameless [people] they will remain in it.
For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it.
22 And wicked [people] from [the] land they will be cut off and treacherous [people] they will be torn away from it.
But the wicked shall be cut off from the land, and the treacherous shall be rooted out of it.
