Proverbs 2 — ENGLXXUP

2 My son, if thou wilt receive the utterance of my commandment, and hide it with thee; ² Thine ear shall hearken to wisdom; ³ For if thou shalt call to wisdom, ⁴ And if thou shalt seek it as silver, ⁵ Then shalt thou understand the fear of the Lord, ⁶ For the Lord gives wisdom; ⁷ And he treasures up salvation for them that walk uprightly: ⁸ That he may guard the righteous ways: ⁹ Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment; ¹⁰ For if wisdom shall come into thine understanding, ¹¹ Good counsel shall guard thee, ¹² To deliver thee from the evil way, ¹³ Alas for those who forsake right paths, ¹⁴ Who rejoice in evils, ¹⁵ Whose paths are crooked, ¹⁶ To remove thee far from the straight way, ¹⁷ Of her who has forsaken the instruction of her youth, ¹⁸ For she has fixed her house near death, ¹⁹ None that go by her shall return, ²⁰ For had they gone in good paths, ²¹ For the upright shall dwell in the earth, ²² The paths of the ungodly shall perish out of the earth,
