Yahweh Gives Wisdom
My son, if you will areceive my wordsAnd btreasure my commandments within you,2 aTo make your ear pay attention to wisdom,Incline your heart to discernment;3 For if you call out for understanding,Give your voice for discernment;4 If you seek her as asilverAnd search for her as for bhidden treasures;5 Then you will understand the afear of YahwehAnd find the knowledge of God.6 For aYahweh gives wisdom;From His mouth come knowledge and discernment.7 He stores up sound wisdom for the upright,A ashield to those who walk in integrity,8 To guard the paths of justice,And He akeeps the way of His holy ones.9 Then you will understand arighteousness and justiceAnd equityevery bgood track.10 For awisdom will enter your heartAnd bknowledge will be pleasant to your soul;11 Discretion will akeep you,Discernment will guard you,12 To adeliver you from the way of evil,From the man who speaks bperverse things;13 From those who aforsake the paths of uprightnessTo walk in the bways of darkness;14 Who are aglad to do evilAnd they rejoice in the perversity of evil;15 Whose paths are acrooked,And who are devious in their tracks;16 To deliver you from the 1astrange woman,From the 2bforeign woman who flatters with her words;17 Who forsakes the close acompanion of her youthAnd forgets the bcovenant of her God;18 For aher house 1sinks down to deathAnd her tracks descend to the 2dead;19 All awho go to her will not return,And they will not reach the bpaths of life.20 So that you will awalk in the way of good menAnd keep to the bpaths of the righteous.21 For athe upright will dwell in the landAnd bthe blameless will remain in it;22 But athe wicked will be cut off from the landAnd bthe treacherous will be ctorn away from it.
