- 1. ¶ MY son, if you will receive my words and hide my commandments in your heart,
- 2. And incline your ear to wisdom and apply your heart to understanding,
- 3. Yea, if you cry after knowledge and lift up your voice to understanding,
- 4. If you seek it as silver, and search for it as for hidden treasure;
- 5. Then you will understand how to worship the LORD and find the knowledge of God.
- 6. For it is the LORD who gives wisdom; out of his mouth come knowledge and understanding.
- 7. He stores up hope for the upright; he helps those who walk without blemish.
- 8. He keeps the paths of justice, and preserves the ways of his saints.
- 9. Then you will understand righteousness and justice and the uprightness of all good ways.
- 10. ¶ When wisdom enters into your heart and knowledge is pleasant to your soul.
- 11. Intelligence shall preserve you, and the understanding of the pious men shall deliver you;
- 12. That you might be delivered from evil ways, from men who speak perverse things,
- 13. Who forsake the path of uprightness to walk in the way of darkness;
- 14. Who rejoice to do evil and delight in the perverseness of evil things;
- 15. Men whose ways are crooked and whose paths are perverse.
- 16. Wisdom shall deliver you from a strange woman who flatters with her words,
- 17. Who has forsaken the mother of her youth and forgotten the covenant of her God.
- 18. For she has forgotten the threshold of her house and the way of her paths.
- 19. None who go to her return again, neither do they remember the path of life.
- 20. Therefore you must walk in the way of good men and keep the path of the righteous.
- 21. For the upright shall dwell in the land, and those who are unblemished shall remain in it.
- 22. But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth and the ungodly shall be rooted out of it.
