Proverbs 2 (New International Version)

Proverbs 2

Moral Benefits of Wisdom
1 My son, if you accept my words

and store up my commands within you,

2 turning your ear
to wisdom
and applying your heart to
understanding,

3 and if you call
out for insight
and cry aloud for
understanding,

4 and if you look
for it as for silver
and search for it
as for hidden treasure,

5 then you will
understand the fear of the LORD
and
find the knowledge of God.

6 For the LORD
gives wisdom,
and from his mouth come
knowledge and understanding.

7 He holds victory
in store for the upright,
he is a
shield to those whose walk is blameless,

8 for he guards the
course of the just
and protects the way
of his faithful ones.

9 Then you will
understand what is right and just
and
fair—every good path.

10 For wisdom will
enter your heart,
and knowledge will be
pleasant to your soul.

11 Discretion will
protect you,
and understanding will
guard you.

12 Wisdom will
save you from the ways of wicked men,

from men whose words are perverse,

13 who leave the
straight paths
to walk in dark ways,

14 who delight in
doing wrong
and rejoice in the
perverseness of evil,

15 whose paths are
crooked
and who are devious in their
ways.

16 It will save
you also from the adulteress,
from the
wayward wife with her seductive words,

17 who has left
the partner of her youth
and ignored
the covenant she made before God.

18 For her house
leads down to death
and her paths to
the spirits of the dead.

19 None who go to
her return
or attain the paths of life.

20 Thus you will
walk in the ways of good men
and keep
to the paths of the righteous.

21 For the upright
will live in the land,
and the
blameless will remain in it;

22 but the wicked
will be cut off from the land,
and the
unfaithful will be torn from it.
