The Value of Wisdom
My son, if you receive my words,
And treasure my commands within you,
My son, if you receive my words,
And treasure my commands within you,
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,
So that you incline your ear to wisdom,
And apply your heart to understanding;
And apply your heart to understanding;
Make your ear attentive to wisdom,
Incline your heart to understanding;
Incline your heart to understanding;
Yes, if you cry out for discernment,
And lift up your voice for understanding,
And lift up your voice for understanding,
For if you cry for discernment,
Lift your voice for understanding;
Lift your voice for understanding;
If you seek her as silver,
And search for her as for hidden treasures;
And search for her as for hidden treasures;
If you seek her as silver
And search for her as for hidden treasures;
And search 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 you will discern the fear of the LORD
And discover the knowledge of God.
And discover the knowledge of God.
For the Lord gives wisdom;
From His mouth come knowledge and understanding;
From His mouth come knowledge and understanding;
For the LORD gives wisdom;
From His mouth come knowledge and understanding.
From His mouth come knowledge and understanding.
He stores up sound wisdom for the upright;
He is a shield to those who walk uprightly;
He is a shield to those who walk uprightly;
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 guards the paths of justice,
And preserves the way of His saints.
And preserves the way of His saints.
Guarding the paths of justice,
And He preserves the way of His godly ones.
And He preserves the way of His godly ones.
Then you will understand righteousness and justice,
Equity and every good path.
Equity and every good path.
Then you will discern righteousness and justice
And equity and every good course.
And equity and every good course.
When wisdom enters your heart,
And knowledge is pleasant to your soul,
And knowledge is pleasant to your soul,
For wisdom will enter your heart
And knowledge will be pleasant to your soul;
And knowledge will be pleasant to your soul;
Discretion will preserve you;
Understanding will keep you,
Understanding will keep you,
Discretion will guard you,
Understanding will watch over you,
Understanding will watch over you,
To deliver you from the way of evil,
From the man who speaks perverse things,
From the man who speaks perverse things,
To deliver you from the way of evil,
From the man who speaks perverse things;
From the man who speaks perverse 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;
To walk in the ways of darkness;
Who rejoice in doing evil,
And delight in the perversity of the wicked;
And delight in the perversity of the wicked;
Who delight in doing evil
And rejoice in the perversity of evil;
And rejoice in the perversity of evil;
Whose ways are crooked,
And who are devious in their paths;
And who are devious in their paths;
Whose paths are crooked,
And who are devious in their ways;
And who are devious in their ways;
To deliver you from the immoral woman,
From the seductress who flatters with her words,
From the seductress who flatters with her words,
To deliver you from the strange woman,
From the adulteress who flatters with her words;
From the adulteress who flatters with her words;
Who forsakes the companion of her youth,
And forgets the covenant of her God.
And forgets the covenant of her God.
That leaves the companion of her youth
And forgets the covenant of her God;
And forgets 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;
None who go to her return again,
Nor do they reach the paths of life.
Nor do they reach the paths of life.
So you may walk in the way of goodness,
And keep to the paths of righteousness.
And keep to the paths of righteousness.
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.
For the upright will dwell in the land,
And the blameless will remain in it;
And the blameless will remain in it;
For the upright will live in the land
And the blameless will remain in it;
And the blameless will remain in it;
