- 1. My sonne, if thou wilt receiue my wordes, and hide my commandements within thee,
- 2. And cause thine eares to hearken vnto wisdome, and encline thine heart to vnderstanding,
- 3. (For if thou callest after knowledge, and cryest for vnderstanding:
- 4. If thou seekest her as siluer, & searchest for her as for treasures,
- 5. Then shalt thou vnderstand the feare of the Lord, and finde the knowledge of God.
- 6. For the Lorde giueth wisdome, out of his mouth commeth knowledge and vnderstanding.
- 7. He preserueth the state of the righteous: he is a shielde to them that walke vprightly,
- 8. That they may keepe the wayes of iudgement: and he preserueth the way of his Saintes)
- 9. Then shalt thou vnderstand righteousnes, and iudgement, and equitie, and euery good path.
- 10. When wisdome entreth into thine heart, and knowledge deliteth thy soule,
- 11. Then shall counsell preserue thee, and vnderstanding shall keepe thee,
- 12. And deliuer thee from the euill way, and from the man that speaketh froward things,
- 13. And from them that leaue the wayes of righteousnes to walke in the wayes of darkenes:
- 14. Which reioyce in doing euill, and delite in the frowardnesse of the wicked,
- 15. Whose wayes are crooked and they are lewde in their paths.
- 16. And it shall deliuer thee from the strange woman, euen from the stranger, which flattereth with her wordes.
- 17. Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the couenant of her God.
- 18. Surely her house tendeth to death, and her paths vnto the dead.
- 19. All they that goe vnto her, returne not againe, neither take they holde of the wayes of life.
- 20. Therefore walke thou in the way of good men, and keepe the wayes of the righteous.
- 21. For the iust shal dwell in the land, and the vpright men shall remaine in it.
- 22. But the wicked shalbe cut off from ye earth, and the transgressours shalbe rooted out of it.
