V.1 My son, 1121 if thou wilt receive 3947-4 my words, 561 and hide 6845-4 my commandments 4687 with thee;

2:2 So that thou incline 7181-53 thine ear 241 unto wisdom, 2451 [and] apply 5186-55 thine heart 3820 to understanding; 8394

2:3 Yea, if thou criest 7121-4 after knowledge, 998 [and] liftest up 5414-4 thy voice 6963 for understanding; 8394

2:4 If thou seekest 1245-17 her as silver, 3701 and searchest 2664-4 for her as [for] hid treasures; 4301

2:5 Then shalt thou understand 995-4 the fear 3374 of the LORD, 3068 and find 4672-4 the knowledge 1847 of God. 430

2:6 For the LORD 3068 giveth 5414-4 wisdom: 2451 out of his mouth 6310 [cometh] knowledge 1847 and understanding. 8394

2:7 He layeth up 6845-4|6845-1-k sound wisdom 8454 for the righteous: 3477 [he is] a buckler 4043 to them that walk 1980-6 uprightly. 8537

2:8 He keepeth 5341-2 the paths 734 of judgment, 4941 and preserveth 8104-4 the way 1870 of his saints. 2623

2:9 Then shalt thou understand 995-4 righteousness, 6664 and judgment, 4941 and equity; 4339 [yea], every good 2896 path. 4570

2:10 When wisdom 2451 entereth 935-4 into thine heart, 3820 and knowledge 1847 is pleasant 5276-4 unto thy soul; 5315

2:11 Discretion 4209 shall preserve 8104-4 thee, understanding 8394 shall keep 5341-4 thee:

2:12 To deliver 5337-53 thee from the way 1870 of the evil 7451 [man], from the man 376 that speaketh 1696-18 froward things; 8419

2:13 Who leave 5800-6 the paths 734 of uprightness, 3476 to walk 3212-2 in the ways 1870 of darkness; 2822

2:14 Who rejoice 8056 to do 6213-2 evil, 7451 [and] delight 1523-4 in the frowardness 8419 of the wicked; 7451

2:15 Whose ways 734 [are] crooked, 6141 and [they] froward 3868-12 in their paths: 4570

2:16 To deliver 5337-53 thee from the strange 2114-5 woman, 802 [even] from the stranger 5237 [which] flattereth 2505-52 with her words; 561

2:17 Which forsaketh 5800-6 the guide 441 of her youth, 5271 and forgetteth 7911-1 the covenant 1285 of her God. 430

2:18 For her house 1004 inclineth 7743-1 unto death, 4194 and her paths 4570 unto the dead. 7496

2:19 None that go 935-6 unto her return again, 7725-4 neither take they hold 5381-55 of the paths 734 of life. 2416

2:20 That thou mayest walk 3212-4 in the way 1870 of good 2896 [men], and keep 8104-4 the paths 734 of the righteous. 6662

2:21 For the upright 3477 shall dwell 7931-4 in the land, 776 and the perfect 8549 shall remain 3498-11 in it.
