Holy Name King James Version (KJV)

1 Wisdom promiseth godliness to her children, 10 and safety from evil company, 20 and direction in good ways.

2:1 ¶ My son, 1121 if x518 thou wilt receive 3947 z8799 my words, 561 and hide 6845 z8799 my commandments 4687 with x854 thee;

2:2 So that thou incline 7181 z8687 thine ear 241 unto wisdom, 2451 [and] apply 5186 z8686 thine heart 3820 to understanding; 8394

2:3 Yea, x3588 if x518 thou criest 7121 z8799 after knowledge, 998 [and] liftest up 5414 z8799 thy voice 6963 for understanding; 8394

2:4 If x518 thou seekest 1245 z8762 her as silver, 3701 and searchest 2664 z8799 for her as [for] hid treasures; 4301

2:5 Then x227 shalt thou understand 995 z8799 the fear 3374 of Yahweh, 3068 and find 4672 z8799 the knowledge 1847 of Elohim. 430

2:6 For x3588 Yahweh 3068 giveth 5414 z8799 wisdom: 2451 out of his mouth 6310 x4480 [cometh] knowledge 1847 and understanding. 8394

2:7 He layeth up 6845 z8799 z8675 z8804 sound wisdom 8454 for the righteous: 3477 [he is] a buckler 4043 to them that walk 1980 z8802 uprightly. 8537

2:8 He keepeth 5341 z8800 the paths 734 of judgment, 4941 and preserveth 8104 z8799 the way 1870 of his saints. 2623

2:9 Then x227 shalt thou understand 995 z8799 righteousness, 6664 and judgment, 4941 and equity; 4339 [yea], every x3605 good 2896 path. 4570

2:10 ¶ When x3588 wisdom 2451 entereth 935 z8799 into thine heart, 3820 and knowledge 1847 is pleasant 5276 z8799 unto thy soul; 5315

2:11 Discretion 4209 shall preserve 8104 z8799 x5921 thee, understanding 8394 shall keep 5341 z8799 thee:

2:12 To deliver 5337 z8687 thee from the way 1870 x4480 of the evil 7451 [man], from the man 376 x4480 that speaketh 1696 z8764 froward things; 8419

2:13 Who leave 5800 z8802 the paths 734 of uprightness, 3476 to walk y3212 z8800 x1980 in the ways 1870 of darkness; 2822

2:14 Who rejoice 8056 to do 6213 z8800 evil, 7451 [and] delight y1523 z8799 in x1523 the frowardness 8419 of the wicked; 7451

2:15 Whose x834 ways 734 [are] crooked, 6141 and [they] froward 3868 z8737 in their paths: 4570

2:16 To deliver 5337 z8687 thee from the strange y2114 z8801 woman, 802 x4480 x2114 [even] from the stranger 5237 x4480 [which] flattereth 2505 z8689 with her words; 561

2:17 Which forsaketh 5800 z8802 the guide 441 of her youth, 5271 and forgetteth 7911 z8804 the covenant 1285 of her Elohim. 430

2:18 For x3588 her house 1004 inclineth 7743 z8804 unto x413 death, 4194 and her paths 4570 unto x413 the dead. 7496

2:19 None x3808 x3605 that go y935 z8802 unto x935 her return again, 7725 z8799 neither x3808 take they hold 5381 z8686 of the paths 734 of life. 2416

2:20 That x4616 thou mayest walk y3212 z8799 x1980 in the way 1870 of good 2896 [men], and keep 8104 z8799 the paths 734 of the righteous. 6662

2:21 For x3588 the upright 3477 shall dwell y7931 z8799 in x7931 the land, 776 and the perfect 8549 shall remain 3498 z8735 in it.

2:22 But the wicked 7563 shall be cut off 3772 z8735 from the earth, 776 x4480 and the transgressors 898 z8802 shall be rooted x5255 out y5255 z8799 of x4480 it.
