The Value of Wisdom
My son, if you receive my words
and treasure up my commandments with you,
My son, if you receive my words
and treasure up my commandments with you,
The Benefits of Wisdom
My son, if thou receivest my words, and layest up my commandments with thee,
My son, if thou receivest my words, and layest up my commandments with thee,
making your ear attentive to wisdom
and inclining your heart to understanding;
and inclining your heart to understanding;
so that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom [and] thou apply thy heart to understanding;
yes, if you call out for insight
and raise your voice for understanding,
and raise your voice for understanding,
yea, if thou criest after discernment [and] liftest up thy voice to understanding;
if you seek it like silver
and search for it as for hidden treasures,
and search for it as for hidden treasures,
if thou seekest her as silver and searchest for her as for hidden treasures:
then you will understand the fear of the Lord
and find the knowledge of God.
and find the knowledge of God.
then shalt thou understand the fear of Jehovah, and find the knowledge of God.
For the Lord gives wisdom;
from his mouth come knowledge and understanding;
from his mouth come knowledge and understanding;
For Jehovah giveth wisdom; out of his mouth [come] knowledge and understanding.
he stores up sound wisdom for the upright;
he is a shield to those who walk in integrity,
he is a shield to those who walk in integrity,
He layeth up sound wisdom for the upright; [he] is a shield to them that walk in integrity;
guarding the paths of justice
and watching over the way of his saints.
and watching over the way of his saints.
guarding the paths of just judgment and keeping the way of his godly ones.
Then you will understand righteousness and justice
and equity, every good path;
and equity, every good path;
Then shalt thou understand righteousness and judgment and equity: every good path.
for wisdom will come into your heart,
and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul;
and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul;
When wisdom entereth into thy heart and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul,
discretion will watch over you,
understanding will guard you,
understanding will guard you,
discretion shall keep thee, understanding shall preserve thee:
delivering you from the way of evil,
from men of perverted speech,
from men of perverted speech,
To deliver thee from the way of evil, from the man that speaketh froward things;
who forsake the paths of uprightness
to walk in the ways of darkness,
to walk in the ways of darkness,
[from those] who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness;
who rejoice in doing evil
and delight in the perverseness of evil,
and delight in the perverseness of evil,
who rejoice to do evil, [and] delight in the frowardness of evil;
men whose paths are crooked,
and who are devious in their ways.
and who are devious in their ways.
whose paths are crooked, and who are perverted in their course:
To deliver thee from the strange woman, from the stranger who flattereth with her words;
who forsakes the companion of her youth
and forgets the covenant of her God;
and forgets the covenant of her God;
who forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God;
-- for her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead;
none who go to her come back,
nor do they regain the paths of life.
nor do they regain the paths of life.
none that go unto her return again, neither do they attain to the paths of life:
So you will walk in the way of the good
and keep to the paths of the righteous.
and keep to the paths of the righteous.
that thou mayest walk in the way of the good, And keep the paths of the righteous.
For the upright will inhabit the land,
and those with integrity will remain in it,
and those with integrity will remain in it,
For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it;
