Proverbs 2:1 (NET) New English Translation

1 My child, if you receive my words, and store up my commands within you,
2 by making your ear attentive to wisdom, and by turning your heart to understanding,
3 indeed, if you call out for discernment� raise your voice for understanding�
4 if you seek it like silver, and search for it like hidden treasure,
5 then you will understand how to fear the LORD, and you will discover knowledge about God.
6 For the LORD gives wisdom, and from his mouth comes knowledge and understanding.
7 He stores up effective counsel for the upright, and is like a shield for those who live with integrity,
8 to guard the paths of the righteous and to protect the way of his pious ones.
9 Then you will understand righteousness and justice and equity� every good way.
10 For wisdom will enter your heart, and moral knowledge will be attractive to you.
11 Discretion will protect you, understanding will guard you,
12 to deliver you from the way of the wicked, from those speaking perversity,
13 who leave the upright paths to walk on the dark ways,
14 who delight in doing evil, they rejoice in perverse evil;
15 whose paths are morally crooked, and who are devious in their ways;
16 to deliver you from the adulteress, from the sexually loose woman who speaks flattering words;
17 who leaves the husband from her younger days, and forgets her marriage covenant made before God.
18 For her house sinks down to death, and her paths lead to the place of the departed spirits.
19 None who go in to her will return, nor will they reach the paths of life.
20 So you will walk in the way of good people, and will keep on the paths of the righteous.
21 For the upright will reside in the land, and those with integrity will remain in it,
22 but the wicked will be removed from the land, and the treacherous will be torn away from it.
1 My son, H1121 if H518 thou wilt receive H3947 my words, H561 and hide H6845 my commandments H4687 with H854 thee;
2 So that thou incline H7181 thine ear H241 unto wisdom, H2451 and apply H5186 thine heart H3820 to understanding; H8394
3 Yea H3588 , if H518 thou criest H7121 after knowledge, H998 and liftest up H5414 thy voice H6963 for understanding; H8394
4 If H518 thou seekest H1245 her as silver, H3701 and searchest H2664 for her as for hid treasures; H4301
5 Then H227 shalt thou understand H995 the fear H3374 of the LORD, H3068 and find H4672 the knowledge H1847 of God. H430
6 For H3588 the LORD H3068 giveth H5414 wisdom: H2451 out of his mouth H4480 H6310 cometh knowledge H1847 and understanding. H8394
7 He layeth up H6845 sound wisdom H8454 for the righteous: H3477 he is a buckler H4043 to them that walk H1980 uprightly. H8537
8 He keepeth H5341 the paths H734 of judgment, H4941 and preserveth H8104 the way H1870 of his saints. H2623
9 Then H227 shalt thou understand H995 righteousness, H6664 and judgment, H4941 and equity; H4339 yea , every H3605 good H2896 path. H4570
10 When H3588 wisdom H2451 entereth H935 into thine heart, H3820 and knowledge H1847 is pleasant H5276 unto thy soul; H5315
11 Discretion H4209 shall preserve H8104 H5921 thee, understanding H8394 shall keep H5341 thee:
12 To deliver H5337 thee from the way H4480 H1870 of the evil H7451 man , from the man H4480 H376 that speaketh H1696 froward things; H8419
13 Who leave H5800 the paths H734 of uprightness, H3476 to walk H1980 in the ways H1870 of darkness; H2822
14 Who rejoice H8056 to do H6213 evil, H7451 and delight in H1523 the frowardness H8419 of the wicked; H7451
15 Whose H834 ways H734 are crooked, H6141 and they froward H3868 in their paths: H4570
16 To deliver H5337 thee from the strange woman H4480 H802, H2114 even from the stranger H4480 H5237 which flattereth H2505 with her words; H561
17 Which forsaketh H5800 the guide H441 of her youth, H5271 and forgetteth H7911 the covenant H1285 of her God. H430
18 For H3588 her house H1004 inclineth H7743 unto H413 death, H4194 and her paths H4570 unto H413 the dead. H7496
19 None H3808 H3605 that go unto H935 her return again, H7725 neither H3808 take they hold H5381 of the paths H734 of life. H2416
20 That H4616 thou mayest walk H1980 in the way H1870 of good H2896 men , and keep H8104 the paths H734 of the righteous. H6662
21 For H3588 the upright H3477 shall dwell in H7931 the land, H776 and the perfect H8549 shall remain H3498 in it.
22 But the wicked H7563 shall be cut off H3772 from the earth H4480 H776 , and the transgressors H898 shall be rooted H5255 out of H4480 it.
