Proverbs 2

1

and store up my commandments within you,

2

and apply your heart to understanding;

3

and lift up your voice for understanding;

4

and search for her as for hidden treasures:

5

and find the knowledge of God.

6

Out of his mouth comes knowledge and understanding.

7

He is a shield to those who walk in integrity,

8

and preserve the way of his saints.

9

equity and every good path.

10

Knowledge will be pleasant to your soul.

11

Understanding will keep you,

12

from the men who speak perverse things,

13

to walk in the ways of darkness,

14

and delight in the perverseness of evil,

15

and wayward in their paths,

16

even from the foreigner who flatters with her words,

17

and forgets the covenant of her God;

18

her paths to the departed spirits.

19

neither do they attain to the paths of life.

20

and keep the paths of the righteous.

21

The perfect will remain in it.

22

The treacherous will be rooted out of it.
