So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding;
WhatsApp
Copy
Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding;
WhatsApp
Copy
If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures;
WhatsApp
Copy
Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.
WhatsApp
Copy
For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.
WhatsApp
Copy
He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly.
WhatsApp
Copy
He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints.
WhatsApp
Copy
Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yea, every good path.
WhatsApp
Copy
When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul;
WhatsApp
Copy
Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee:
WhatsApp
Copy
To deliver thee from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaketh froward things;
WhatsApp
Copy
Who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness;
WhatsApp
Copy
Who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the frowardness of the wicked;
WhatsApp
Copy
Whose ways are crooked, and they froward in their paths:
WhatsApp
Copy
To deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the stranger which flattereth with her words;
WhatsApp
Copy
Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God.
WhatsApp
Copy
For her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead.
WhatsApp
Copy
None that go unto her return again, neither take they hold of the paths of life.
WhatsApp
Copy
That thou mayest walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths of the righteous.
WhatsApp
Copy
For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it.
WhatsApp
Copy
But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it.
