My sonH1121, if thou wilt receiveH3947 my wordsH561, and hideH6845 my commandmentsH4687 with thee;
So that thou inclineH7181 thine earH241 unto wisdomH2451, and applyH5186 thine heartH3820 to understandingH8394;
Yea, if thou criestH7121 after knowledgeH998, and liftest upH5414 thy voiceH6963 for understandingH8394; {liftest…: Heb. givest thy voice}
If thou seekestH1245 her as silverH3701, and searchestH2664 for her as for hid treasuresH4301;
Then shalt thou understandH995 the fearH3374 of the LORDH3068, and findH4672 the knowledgeH1847 of GodH430.
For the LORDH3068 givethH5414 wisdomH2451: out of his mouthH6310 cometh knowledgeH1847 and understandingH8394.
He layeth upH6845+H6845 sound wisdomH8454 for the righteousH3477: he is a bucklerH4043 to them that walkH1980 uprightlyH8537.
He keepethH5341 the pathsH734 of judgmentH4941, and preservethH8104 the wayH1870 of his saintsH2623.
Then shalt thou understandH995 righteousnessH6664, and judgmentH4941, and equityH4339; yea, every goodH2896 pathH4570.
When wisdomH2451 enterethH935 into thine heartH3820, and knowledgeH1847 is pleasantH5276 unto thy soulH5315;
DiscretionH4209 shall preserveH8104 thee, understandingH8394 shall keepH5341 thee:
To deliverH5337 thee from the wayH1870 of the evilH7451 man, from the manH376 that speakethH1696 froward thingsH8419;
Who leaveH5800 the pathsH734 of uprightnessH3476, to walkH3212 in the waysH1870 of darknessH2822;
Who rejoiceH8056 to doH6213 evilH7451, and delightH1523 in the frowardnessH8419 of the wickedH7451;
Whose waysH734 are crookedH6141, and they frowardH3868 in their pathsH4570:
To deliverH5337 thee from the strangeH2114 womanH802, even from the strangerH5237 which flatterethH2505 with her wordsH561;
Which forsakethH5800 the guideH441 of her youthH5271, and forgettethH7911 the covenantH1285 of her GodH430.
For her houseH1004 inclinethH7743 unto deathH4194, and her pathsH4570 unto the deadH7496.
None that goH935 unto her return againH7725, neither take they holdH5381 of the pathsH734 of lifeH2416.
That thou mayest walkH3212 in the wayH1870 of goodH2896 men, and keepH8104 the pathsH734 of the righteousH6662.
For the uprightH3477 shall dwellH7931 in the landH776, and the perfectH8549 shall remainH3498 in it.
But the wickedH7563 shall be cut offH3772 from the earthH776, and the transgressorsH898 shall be rooted outH5255 of it. {rooted: or, plucked up}
