📖 Proverbs 2
-
1
My sonne, yf thou wilt receaue my wordes, and kepe my comaundemetes by the,
-
2
that thine eare maye herken vnto wysdome, applie thine herte then to vnderstodinge.
-
3
For yf thou criest after wy?dome, & callest for knowlege:
-
4
yf thou sekest after her as after money, and dyggest for her as for treasure:
-
5
The shalt thou vnderstonde ye feare of the LORDE, and fynde ye knowlege of God.
-
6
For it is the LORDE that geueth wy?dome, out of his mouth commeth knowlege and vnderstondinge.
-
7
He preserueth ye welfare of the rightuous, and defendeth them yt walke innocently:
-
8
he kepeth them in ye right path, and preserueth ye waye of his sayntes.
-
9
Then shalt thou vnderstonde rightuousnesse, iudgment and equite, yee and euery good path.
-
10
Yf wy?dome entre in to thine herte, and yi soule delyte in knowlege:
-
11
then shal councell preserue the, and vnderstondinge shal kepe the.
-
12
That thou mayest be delyuered fro ye euell waye, and from the man yt speaketh frowarde thinges.
-
13
From soch as leaue the hye strete, and walke i ye wayes of darcknesse:
-
14
which reioyse in doynge euell, and delyte i wicked thinges:
-
15
whose wayes are croked, and their pathes slaunderous.
-
16
That thou mayest be delyuered also from the straunge woman, and from her that is not thine owne: which geueth swete wordes,
-
17
forsaketh the hu?bande of hir youth, and forgetteth the couenaunt of hir God.
-
18
For hir house is enclyned vnto death, and hir pathes vnto hell.
-
19
All they that go in vnto her, come not agayne, nether take they holde of the waye of life.
-
20
That thou mayest walke in ye good waye, and kepe the pathes of the rightuous.
-
21
For the iust shal dwell in the londe, and the innocentes shal remayne in it:
-
22
but the vngodly shalbe roted out of ye londe, and the wicked doers shalbe taken out of it.
