Proverbs 2 — GNV

2Verse 1My sonne, if thou wilt receiue my wordes, and hide my commandements within thee,^{Verse 2}And cause thine eares to hearken vnto wisdome, and encline thine heart to vnderstanding,^{Verse 3}(For if thou callest after knowledge, and cryest for vnderstanding:^{Verse 4}If thou seekest her as siluer, and searchest for her as for treasures,^{Verse 5}Then shalt thou vnderstand the feare of the Lord, and finde the knowledge of God.^{Verse 6}For the Lord giueth wisdome, out of his mouth commeth knowledge and vnderstanding.^{Verse 7}He preserueth the state of the righteous: he is a shielde to them that walke vprightly,^{Verse 8}That they may keepe the wayes of iudgement: and he preserueth the way of his Saintes)^{Verse 9}Then shalt thou vnderstand righteousnes, and iudgement, and equitie, and euery good path.^{Verse 10}When wisdome entreth into thine heart, and knowledge deliteth thy soule,^{Verse 11}Then shall counsell preserue thee, and vnderstanding shall keepe thee,^{Verse 12}And deliuer thee from the euill way, and from the man that speaketh froward things,^{Verse 13}And from them that leaue the wayes of righteousnes to walke in the wayes of darkenes:^{Verse 14}Which reioyce in doing euill, and delite in the frowardnesse of the wicked,^{Verse 15}Whose wayes are crooked and they are lewde in their paths.^{Verse 16}And it shall deliuer thee from the strange woman, euen from the stranger, which flattereth with her wordes.^{Verse 17}Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the couenant of her God.^{Verse 18}Surely her house tendeth to death, and her paths vnto the dead.^{Verse 19}All they that goe vnto her, returne not againe, neither take they holde of the wayes of life.^{Verse 20}Therefore walke thou in the way of good men, and keepe the wayes of the righteous.^{Verse 21}For the iust shall dwell in the land, and the vpright men shall remaine in it.^{Verse 22}But the wicked shalbe cut off from ye earth, and the transgressours shalbe rooted out of it.
