Proverbs 2
Big screen- 1My son, if you will receive my words, and hide my commandments with you;
- 2So that you incline yours ear unto wisdom, and apply yours heart to understanding;
- 3Yea, if you cry after knowledge, and lift up your voice for understanding;
- 4If you seek her as silver, and search for her as for hid treasures;
- 5Then shall you understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.
- 6For the LORD gives wisdom: out of his mouth comes knowledge and understanding.
- 7He lays up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly.
- 8He keeps the paths of judgment, and perserves the way of his saints.
- 9Then shall you understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yea, every good path.
- 10When wisdom enters into yours heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto your soul;
- 11Discretion shall preserve you, understanding shall keep you:
- 12To deliver you from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaks perverse things;
- 13Who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness;
- 14Who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the perverseness of the wicked;
- 15Whose ways are crooked, and they perverse in their paths:
- 16To deliver you from the strange woman, even from the stranger which flatters with her words;
- 17Which forsakes the guide of her youth, and forgets the covenant of her God.
- 18For her house inclines unto death, and her paths unto the dead.
- 19None that go unto her return again, neither take they hold of the paths of life.
- 20That you may walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths of the righteous.
- 21For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it.
- 22But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it.
