20_PRO_02_01 my son, if thou Wilt receive my words, And hide my commandments with thee;
20_PRO_02_02 So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, [ And] apply thine heart to understanding;
20_PRO_02_03 yea, if thou criest after knowledge, [ And] liftest up thy voice for understanding;
20_PRO_02_04 if thou seekest her as silver, And searchest for her as [ for] hid treasures;
20_PRO_02_05 Then shalt thou understand the Fear of the LORD, And find the knowledge of God.
20_PRO_02_06 for the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth [ cometh] knowledge And understanding.
20_PRO_02_07 he layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: [ he Is] A buckler to them that walk uprightly.
20_PRO_02_08 he keepeth the paths of judgment, And preserveth the way of his saints.
20_PRO_02_09 Then shalt thou understand righteousness, And judgment, And equity; [ yea], every good path.
20_PRO_02_10 when wisdom entereth into thine heart, And knowledge Is pleasant unto thy soul;
20_PRO_02_11 discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee:
20_PRO_02_12 to deliver thee from the way of the evil [ man], from the man that speaketh froward things;
20_PRO_02_13 who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness;
20_PRO_02_14 who Rejoice to do evil, [ And] delight in the frowardness of the wicked;
20_PRO_02_15 whose ways [ are] crooked, And [ they] froward in their paths:
20_PRO_02_16 to deliver thee from the strange woman, [ even] from the stranger [ which] flattereth with her words;
20_PRO_02_17 which forsaketh the guide of her youth, And forgetteth the covenant of her God.
20_PRO_02_18 for her house inclineth unto death, And her paths unto the dead.
20_PRO_02_19 none that go unto her Return again, neither take they hold of the paths of life.
20_PRO_02_20 that thou mayest walk in the way of good [ men], And keep the paths of the righteous.
20_PRO_02_21 for the upright shall dwell in the land, And the perfect shall remain in it.
20_PRO_02_22 but the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, And the transgressors shall be Rooted out of it.
