←Prev   Proverbs 2 as rendered by/in  Next→ 


2:1  My son, if you receive my words, and hide my commandments in your heart
2:2  And you will incline your ear to wisdom and turn your heart to understanding
2:3  And call to understanding and lift up your voice to intelligence
2:4  And you will seek it as silver and you will search it out as treasure
2:5  Then you will understand the awe of Lord Jehovah and you will find the knowledge of God.
2:6  Because Lord Jehovah gives wisdom, and from his mouth, knowledge and understanding.
2:7  And he keeps hope for those who are upright and helps those who walk without blemish.
2:8  And he keeps the ways of justice; the ways of his pure ones he will preserve.
2:9  Then you will understand righteousness and justice and uprightness of all excellent ways
2:10  When wisdom will enter your heart and knowledge will be sweet to your soul.
2:11  A good mind will keep you and the intelligence of the good will deliver you
2:12  That you may be delivered from evil ways and from men speaking contradictions
2:13  Who leave the upright way and they walk in the way of darkness.
2:14  And they rejoice to do evil and they rejoice in the lifestyle of the evil.
2:15  Their ways are perverted and their paths are crooked.
2:16  Wisdom will deliver you from an estranged woman who subverts by her words
2:17  Who has left the rearing of her childhood and has forgotten the covenant of her God.
2:18  She has forgotten the doorposts of her house and the steps of her paths.
2:19  None who enter unto her return, neither remember the way of life.
2:20  Walk therefore in the way of the good and keep the way of the righteous ones
2:21  Because the upright dwell in the land and those without blemish are spared in it
2:22  And dissenters are consumed from the Earth and the evil are uprooted from it.
