21My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee;+2So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom,
and apply thine heart to understanding;+3Yea, if thou criest after knowledge,
and liftest up thy voice for understanding;+4If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as
for
hid treasures;+5Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.+6For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth
cometh knowledge and understanding.+7He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous:
he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly.+8He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints.+9Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity;
yea, every good path.+10When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul;+11Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee:+12To deliver thee from the way of the evil
man, from the man that speaketh froward things;+13Who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness;+14Who rejoice to do evil,
and delight in the frowardness of the wicked;+15Whose ways
are crooked, and
they froward in their paths:+16To deliver thee from the strange woman,
even from the stranger
which flattereth with her words;+17Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God.+18For her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead.+19None that go unto her return again, neither take they hold of the paths of life.+20That thou mayest walk in the way of good
men, and keep the paths of the righteous.+21For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it.+22But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it.+
