📖 Proverbs 2
-
1
My sonne, if thou wylt receaue my wordes, and lay vp my commaundementes within thee,
-
2
That thou wylt encline thine eares vnto wisdome: applye thine heart then to vnderstandyng.
-
3
For if thou cryest after wisdome, and cryest for knowledge:
-
4
If thou seekest for her as for siluer, and searchest for her as for treasures:
-
5
Then shalt thou vnderstand the feare of the Lorde, and finde the knowledge of God.
-
6
For the Lorde geueth wisdome, out of his mouth commeth knowledge and vnderstandyng.
-
7
He stirreth vp health for the righteous: and defendeth them that walke vprightly,
-
8
That they may kepe the right path: and he preserueth the way of such as do serue him with godlinesse.
-
9
Then shalt thou vnderstande righteousnesse, and iudgement, and equitie, yea and euery good path.
-
10
When wisdome entreth into thine heart, and thy soule deliteth in knowledge:
-
11
Then shall counsayle preserue thee, and vnderstandyng shall kepe thee,
-
12
That thou mayest be deliuered from the euyll way, and from the man that speaketh frowarde thynges:
-
13
From such as leaue the wayes of righteousnesse, to walke in the wayes of darknesse:
-
14
Which reioyce in doyng naught, and delite in the wickednesse of the euyll:
-
15
Whose wayes are croked, and they frowarde in their pathes.
-
16
That thou mayest be deliuered also from the straunge woman, and from her that is not thine owne, which geueth sweete wordes,
-
17
Forsaketh the husbande of her youth, & forgetteth the couenaunt of her God.
-
18
For her house is enclined vnto death, and her pathes vnto hell.
-
19
All they that go in vnto her, come not agayne, neither take they holde of the way of lyfe.
-
20
Therfore walke thou in the way of such as be vertuous, & kepe the pathes of the righteous.
-
21
For the iust shal dwell in the lande, and they that be perfect shall remayne in it.
-
22
But the vngodly shall be cut of from the earth: and the wicked doers shalbe rooted out of it.
