2MY SON, if you will receive my words and treasure up my commandments within you,H1121H3947H561H6845H4687 2Making your ear attentive to skillful {and} godly Wisdom {and} inclining and directing your heart {and} mind to understanding [applying all your powers to the quest for it];H7181H241H2451H5186H3820H8394 3Yes, if you cry out for insight and raise your voice for understanding,H7121H998H5414H6963H8394 4If you seek [Wisdom] as for silver and search for skillful {and} godly Wisdom as for hidden treasures,H1245H3701H2664H4301 5Then you will understand the reverent {and} worshipful fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of [our omniscient] God.H995H3374H3068H4672H1847H430 6For the Lord gives skillful {and} godly Wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding.H3068H5414H2451H6310H1847H8394 7He hides away sound {and} godly Wisdom {and} stores it for the righteous (those who are upright and in right standing with Him); He is a shield to those who walk uprightly {and} in integrity,H6845H6845H8454H3477H4043H1980H8537 8That He may guard the paths of justice; yes, He preserves the way of His saints.H5341H734H4941H8104H1870H2623 9Then you will understand righteousness, justice, and fair dealing [in every area and relation]; yes, you will understand every good path.H995H6664H4941H4339H2896H4570 10For skillful {and} godly Wisdom shall enter into your heart, and knowledge shall be pleasant to you.H2451H935H3820H1847H5276H5315 11Discretion shall watch over you, understanding shall keep you,H4209H8104H8394H5341 12To deliver you from the way of evil {and} the evil men, from men who speak perverse things {and} are liars,H5337H1870H7451H376H1696H8419 13Men who forsake the paths of uprightness to walk in the ways of darkness,H5800H734H3476H3212H1870H2822 14Who rejoice to do evil and delight in the perverseness of evil,H8056H6213H7451H1523H8419H7451 15Who are crooked in their ways, wayward {and} devious in their paths.H734H6141H3868H4570 16[Discretion shall watch over you, understanding shall keep you] to deliver you from the alien woman, from the outsider with her flattering words,H5337H2114H802H5237H2505H561 17Who forsakes the husband {and} guide of her youth and forgets the covenant of her God.H5800H441H5271H7911H1285H430 18For her house sinks down to death and her paths to the spirits [of the dead].H1004H7743H4194H4570H7496 19None who go to her return again, neither do they attain {or} regain the paths of life.H935H7725H5381H734H2416 20So may you walk in the way of good men, and keep to the paths of the [consistently] righteous (the upright, in right standing with God).H3212H1870H2896H8104H734H6662 21For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the men of integrity, blameless {and} complete [in God's sight], shall remain in it;H3477H7931H776H8549H3498 22But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the treacherous shall be rooted out of it.H7563H3772H776H898H5255
