  2:1 ¶
[My] son, if thou wilt receive the utterance of my commandment, and hide it with thee; |
|
2:1 ¶
My son,°
if°
thou wilt receive°°
my words,°
and hide°°
my commandments°
with°
thee; |
|
2:2
thine ear shall hearken to wisdom; thou shalt also apply thine heart to understanding, and shalt apply it to the instruction of thy son. |
|
2:2
So that thou incline°°
thine ear°
unto wisdom,°
[and] apply°°
thine heart°
to understanding;° |
|
2:3
For it thou shalt call to wisdom, and utter thy voice for understanding; |
|
2:3
Yea,°
if°
thou criest°°
after knowledge,°
[and] liftest up°°
thy voice°
for understanding;° |
|
2:4
and if thou shalt seek it as silver, and search diligently for it as for treasures; |
|
2:4
If°
thou seekest°°
her as silver,°
and searchest°°
for her as [for] hid treasures;° |
|
2:5
then shalt thou understand the fear of the Lord, and find the knowledge of God. |
|
2:5
Then°
shalt thou understand°°
the fear°
of Yahweh,°
and find°°
the knowledge°
of Elohim.° |
|
2:6
For the Lord gives wisdom; and from his presence [come] knowledge and understanding, |
|
2:6
For°
Yahweh°
giveth°°
wisdom:°
out of his mouth°°
[cometh] knowledge°
and understanding.° |
|
2:7
and he treasures up salvation for them that walk uprightly: he will protect their way; |
|
2:7
He layeth up°°°°
sound wisdom°
for the righteous:°
[he is] a buckler°
to them that walk°°
uprightly.° |
|
2:8
that he may guard the righteous ways: and he will preserve the way of them that fear him. |
|
2:8
He keepeth°°
the paths°
of judgment,°
and preserveth°°
the way°
of his saints.° |
|
2:9
Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgement; and shalt direct all thy course aright. |
|
2:9
Then°
shalt thou understand°°
righteousness,°
and judgment,°
and equity;°
[yea], every°
good°
path.° |
|
2:10 ¶
For if wisdom shall come into thine understanding, and discernment shall seem pleasing to thy soul, |
|
2:10 ¶
When°
wisdom°
entereth°°
into thine heart,°
and knowledge°
is pleasant°°
unto thy soul;° |
|
2:11
good counsel shall guard thee, and holy understanding shall keep thee; |
|
2:11
Discretion°
shall preserve°°°
thee, understanding°
shall keep°°
thee: |
|
2:12
to deliver thee from the evil way, and from the man that speaks nothing faithfully. |
|
2:12
To deliver°°
thee from the way°°
of the evil°
[man], from the man°°
that speaketh°°
froward things;° |
|
2:13
Alas [for those] who forsake right paths, to walk in ways of darkness; |
|
2:13
Who leave°°
the paths°
of uprightness,°
to walk°°°
in the ways°
of darkness;° |
|
2:14
who rejoice in evils, and delight in wicked perverseness; |
|
2:14
Who rejoice°
to do°°
evil,°
[and] delight°°
in°
the frowardness°
of the wicked;° |
|
2:15
whose paths are crooked, and their courses winding; |
|
2:15
Whose°
ways°
[are] crooked,°
and [they] froward°°
in their paths:° |
|
2:16
to remove thee far from the straight way, and to estrange thee from a righteous purpose. [My] son, let not evil counsel overtake thee, |
|
2:16
To deliver°°
thee from the strange°°
woman,°°°
[even] from the stranger°°
[which] flattereth°°
with her words;° |
|
2:17
[of her] who has forsaken the instruction of her youth, and forgotten the covenant of God. |
|
2:17
Which forsaketh°°
the guide°
of her youth,°
and forgetteth°°
the covenant°
of her Elohim.° |
|
2:18
For she has fixed her house near death, and [guided] her wheels near the grave{gr.Hades} with the giants. |
|
2:18
For°
her house°
inclineth°°
unto°
death,°
and her paths°
unto°
the dead.° |
|
2:19
None that go by her shall return, neither shall they take hold of right paths, for they are not apprehended of the years of life. |
|
2:19
None°°
that go°°
unto°
her return again,°°
neither°
take they hold°°
of the paths°
of life.° |
|
2:20
For had they gone in good paths, they would have found the paths of righteousness easy. |
|
2:20
That°
thou mayest walk°°°
in the way°
of good°
[men], and keep°°
the paths°
of the righteous.° |
|
2:21
For the upright shall dwell in the earth, and the holy shall be left behind in it. |
|
2:21
For°
the upright°
shall dwell°°
in°
the land,°
and the perfect°
shall remain°°
in it. |
|
2:22
The paths of the ungodly shall perish out of the earth, and transgressors shall be driven away from it. |
|
2:22
But the wicked°
shall be cut off°°
from the earth,°°
and the transgressors°°
shall be rooted°
out°°
of°
it. |
