¹ My son, if you will receive my words, and treasure up my commandments with you,² so that you attend to wisdom, you shall extend your heart to understanding.³ For if you cry for discernment, lifting up your voice for understanding;⁴ if you seek her as silver, and search for her as hidden treasures,⁵ then you shall understand the fear of Jehovah and find knowledge of God.⁶ For Jehovah gives wisdom; out of His mouth are knowledge and understanding.⁷ He lays up sound wisdom for the upright; He is a shield to the ones who walk in integrity,⁸ to guard the paths of judgment, and He protects the way of His saints.⁹ Then you shall understand righteousness and judgment and honesty, yea , every good path.

¹⁰ When wisdom enters into your heart, and knowledge is pleasant to your soul,¹¹ discretion shall keep you, understanding shall watch over you,¹² to deliver you from the evil way, from the man who speaks perverse things,¹³ those who leave the paths of uprightness to walk in the ways of darkness,¹⁴ who rejoice to do evil, they delight in the perversities of the wicked,¹⁵ whose paths are crooked, who are devious in their tracks;¹⁶ these will deliver you from the strange woman, from the foreigner who flatters with her words,¹⁷ who forsakes the guide of her youth and forgets the covenant of her God.¹⁸ For her house leads down to death, and her tracks to the departed spirits.¹⁹ All going in to her do not return, nor do they reach the ways of life.²⁰ Then you may walk in the ways of the good and keep the ways of the righteous.²¹ For the upright shall live in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it.²² But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it.
