Proverbs 2 — GMV

2 Verse 1 My son, if thou wilt receive the utterance of my commandment, and hide it with thee; ^{Verse 2} Thine ear shall hearken to wisdom; ^{Verse 3} For if thou shalt call to wisdom, ^{Verse 4} And if thou shalt seek it as silver, ^{Verse 5} Then shalt thou understand the fear of the Lord, ^{Verse 6} For the Lord gives wisdom; ^{Verse 7} And he treasures up salvation for them that walk uprightly: ^{Verse 8} That he may guard the righteous ways: ^{Verse 9} Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment; ^{Verse 10} For if wisdom shall come into thine understanding, ^{Verse 11} Good counsel shall guard thee, ^{Verse 12} To deliver thee from the evil way, ^{Verse 13} Alas for those who forsake right paths, ^{Verse 14} Who rejoice in evils, ^{Verse 15} Whose paths are crooked, ^{Verse 16} To remove thee far from the straight way, ^{Verse 17} Of her who has forsaken the instruction of her youth, ^{Verse 18} For she has fixed her house near death, ^{Verse 19} None that go by her shall return, ^{Verse 20} For had they gone in good paths, ^{Verse 21} For the upright shall dwell in the earth, ^{Verse 22} The paths of the ungodly shall perish out of the earth,
