Proverbs Chapter 2

• Proverbs 2:1
  Proverbs.
• Proverbs 2:2
  My son, if you will receive my words, and store up my commandments within you,
• Proverbs 2:3
  so as to turn your ear to wisdom, and apply your heart to understanding;
• Proverbs 2:4
  yes, if you call out for discernment, and lift up your voice for understanding;
• Proverbs 2:5
  if you seek her as silver, and search for her as for hidden treasures;
• Proverbs 2:6
  then you will understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.
• Proverbs 2:7
  For the LORD gives wisdom. Out of his mouth comes knowledge and understanding.
• Proverbs 2:8
  He lays up sound wisdom for the upright. He is a shield to those who walk in integrity,
• Proverbs 2:9
  that he may guard the paths of justice, and preserve the way of his saints.
• Proverbs 2:10
  Then you will understand righteousness and justice, equity and every good path.
• Proverbs 2:11
  For wisdom will enter into your heart. Knowledge will be pleasant to your soul.
• Proverbs 2:12
  Discretion will watch over you. Understanding will keep you,
• Proverbs 2:13
  to deliver you from the way of evil, from the men who speak perverse things,
• Proverbs 2:14
  who forsake the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness,
• Proverbs 2:15
  who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the perverseness of evil,
• Proverbs 2:16
  who are crooked in their ways, and wayward in their paths,
• Proverbs 2:17
  to deliver you from the strange woman, even from the foreigner who flatters with her words,
• Proverbs 2:18
  who forsakes the friend of her youth, and forgets the covenant of her God;
• Proverbs 2:19
  for her house leads down to death, her paths to the departed spirits.
• Proverbs 2:20
  None who go to her return again, neither do they attain to the paths of life.
• Proverbs 2:21
  Therefore walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths of the righteous.
• Proverbs 2:22
  For the upright will dwell in the land. The perfect will remain in it.
• Proverbs 2:23
  But the wicked will be cut off from the land. The treacherous will be rooted out of it.
