Proverbs 2 Godly Wisdom

Lyrics

[1] My son, if thou wilt receive my words, And hide my commandments with thee; [2] So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, And apply thine heart to understanding; [3] Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, And liftest up thy voice for understanding; [4] If thou seekest her as silver, And searchest for her as for hid treasures; [5] Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, And find the knowledge of God. [6] For the LORD giveth wisdom: Out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding. [7] He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: He is a buckler to them that walk uprightly. [8] He keepeth the paths of judgment, And preserveth the way of his saints. [9] Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, And equity; yea, every good path. [10] When wisdom entereth into thine heart, And knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul; [11] Discretion shall preserve thee, Understanding shall keep thee: [12] To deliver thee from the way of the evil man, From the man that speaketh froward things; [13] Who leave the paths of uprightness, To walk in the ways of darkness; [14] Who rejoice to do evil, And delight in the frowardness of the wicked; [15] Whose ways are crooked, And they froward in their paths: [16] To deliver thee from the strange woman, Even from the stranger which flattereth with her words; [17] Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, And forgetteth the covenant of her God. [18] For her house inclineth unto death, And her paths unto the dead. [19] None that go unto her return again, Neither take they hold of the paths of life. [20] That thou mayest walk in the way of good men, And keep the paths of the righteous. [21] For the upright shall dwell in the land, And the perfect shall remain in it. [22] But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, And the transgressors shall be rooted out of it.
