The Value of Wisdom

2My son, if you receive my words and treasure up my commandments with you,H1121H3947H561H6845H4687 2making your ear attentive to wisdom and inclining your heart to understanding;H7181H241H2451H5186H3820H8394 3yes, if you call out for insight and raise your voice for understanding,H7121H998H5414H6963H8394 4if you seek it like silver and search for it as for hidden treasures,H1245H3701H2664H4301 5then you will understand the fear of the LORD and find the knowledge of God.H995H3374H3068H4672H1847H430 6For the LORD gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding;H3068H5414H2451H6310H1847H8394 7he stores up sound wisdom for the upright; he is a shield to those who walk in integrity,H6845H6845H8454H3477H4043H1980H8537 8guarding the paths of justice and watching over the way of his saints.H5341H734H4941H8104H1870H2623 9Then you will understand righteousness and justice and equity, every good path;H995H6664H4941H4339H2896H4570 10for wisdom will come into your heart, and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul;H2451H935H3820H1847H5276H5315 11discretion will watch over you, understanding will guard you,H4209H8104H8394H5341 12delivering you from the way of evil, from men of perverted speech,H5337H1870H7451H376H1696H8419 13who forsake the paths of uprightness to walk in the ways of darkness,H5800H734H3476H3212H1870H2822 14who rejoice in doing evil and delight in the perverseness of evil,H8056H6213H7451H1523H8419H7451 15men whose paths are crooked, and who are devious in their ways.H734H6141H3868H4570 16So you will be delivered from the forbidden woman, from the adulteress with her smooth words,H5337H2114H802H5237H2505H561 17who forsakes the companion of her youth and forgets the covenant of her God;H5800H441H5271H7911H1285H430 18for her house sinks down to death, and her paths to the departed;H1004H7743H4194H4570H7496 19none who go to her come back, nor do they regain the paths of life.H935H7725H5381H734H2416 20So you will walk in the way of the good and keep to the paths of the righteous.H3212H1870H2896H8104H734H6662 21For the upright will inhabit the land, and those with integrity will remain in it,H3477H7931H776H8549H3498 22but the wicked will be cut off from the land, and the treacherous will be rooted out of it.H7563H3772H776H898H5255
