¹ My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and lay up my commandments with thee;² So that thou make thine ear attend unto wisdom, and thy heart incline to discernment;³ Yea, if thou call for understanding, and lift up thy voice for discernment;⁴ If thou seek her as silver, and search for her as for hid treasures;⁵ Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.⁶ For the LORD giveth wisdom, out of His mouth cometh knowledge and discernment;⁷ He layeth up sound wisdom for the upright, He is a shield to them that walk in integrity;⁸ That He may guard the paths of justice, and preserve the way of His godly ones.⁹ Then shalt thou understand righteousness and justice, and equity, yea, every good path.

¹⁰ For wisdom shall enter into thy heart, and knowledge shall be pleasant unto thy soul;¹¹ Discretion shall watch over thee, discernment shall guard thee;¹² To deliver thee from the way of evil, from the men that speak froward things;¹³ Who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness;¹⁴ Who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the frowardness of evil;¹⁵ Who are crooked in their ways, and perverse in their paths;¹⁶ To deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the alien woman that maketh smooth her words;¹⁷ That forsaketh the lord of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God.¹⁸ For her house sinketh down unto death, and her paths unto the shades;¹⁹ None that go unto her return, neither do they attain unto the paths of life;²⁰ That thou mayest walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths of the righteous.²¹ For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the whole-hearted shall remain in it.²² But the wicked shall be cut off from the land, and the faithless shall be plucked up out of it.
