The Pursuit of Wisdom Brings Security
My son, if you will receive my words
And treasure my commandments within you,
My son, if you will receive my words
And treasure my commandments within 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,
Make your ear attentive to wisdom,
Incline your heart to understanding;
Incline your heart to understanding;
so that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom [and] thou apply thy heart to understanding;
For if you cry for discernment,
Lift your voice for understanding;
Lift your voice for understanding;
yea, if thou criest after discernment [and] liftest up thy voice to understanding;
If you seek her as silver
And search for her as for hidden treasures;
And search for her as for hidden treasures;
if thou seekest her as silver and searchest for her as for hidden treasures:
Then you will discern the fear of the LORD
And discover the knowledge of God.
And discover 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 He preserves the way of His godly ones.
And He preserves the way of His godly ones.
guarding the paths of just judgment and keeping the way of his godly ones.
Then you will discern righteousness and justice
And equity and every good course.
And equity and every good course.
Then shalt thou understand righteousness and judgment and equity: every good path.
For wisdom will enter 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 guard you,
Understanding will watch over you,
Understanding will watch over you,
discretion shall keep thee, understanding shall preserve thee:
To deliver you from the way of evil,
From the man who speaks perverse things;
From the man who speaks perverse things;
To deliver thee from the way of evil, from the man that speaketh froward things;
From those who leave 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 delight in doing evil
And rejoice in the perversity of evil;
And rejoice in the perversity of evil;
who rejoice to do evil, [and] delight in the frowardness of evil;
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 you from the strange woman,
From the adulteress who flatters with her words;
From the adulteress who flatters with her words;
To deliver thee from the strange woman, from the stranger who flattereth with her words;
That leaves 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 sinks down to death
And her tracks lead to the dead;
And her tracks lead to the dead;
-- for her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead;
None who go to her return again,
Nor do they reach the paths of life.
Nor do they reach 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 good men
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 live in the land
And the blameless will remain in it;
And the blameless will remain in it;
For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it;
