| 2:1 | My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee; |
| 2:2 | So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding; |
| 2:3 | Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding; |
| 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. |
| 2:6 | For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding. |
| 2:7 | He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly. |
| 2:8 | He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints. |
| 2:9 | Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yea, every good path. |
| 2:10 | When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul; |
| 2:11 | Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee: |
| 2:12 | To deliver thee from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaketh froward things; |
| 2:13 | Who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness; |
| 2:14 | Who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the frowardness of the wicked; |
| 2:15 | Whose ways are crooked, and they froward in their paths: |
| 2:16 | To deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the stranger which flattereth with her words; |
| 2:17 | Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God. |
| 2:18 | For her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead. |
| 2:19 | None that go unto her return again, neither take they hold of the paths of life. |
| 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 land, and the perfect shall remain in it. |
| 2:22 | But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it. |
| 2:1 | My sonne, yf thou wilt receaue my wordes, and kepe my commaundementes by the, |
| 2:2 | that thou wylt enclyne thyne eare vnto wysdome, applye thyne hert then to vnderstandynge. |
| 2:3 | For yf thou cryest after wisdome, and callest for knowledge: |
| 2:4 | yf thou sekest after her as after money, and dyggest for her as for treasure, |
| 2:5 | then shalt thou vnderstande the feare of the Lorde, and fynde the knowledge of God. |
| 2:6 | For it is the Lorde that geueth wisdome, out of his mouth commeth knowledge and vnderstandynge. |
| 2:7 | He hydeth vp healthe for the ryghteous. He preserueth the welfare of the ryghteous, and defendeth them that walke syncerely: |
| 2:8 | he kepeth them in the ryght pathe, and preserueth the waye of soche as serue hym with godlynesse. |
| 2:9 | Then shalt thou vnderstande ryghteousnesse, iudment, and equyte: yee, and euery good path. |
| 2:10 | Yf wysdome entre into thyne herte, and thy soule delyte in knowledge: |
| 2:11 | then shall councell preserue the, and vnderstandynge shall kepe the. |
| 2:12 | That thou mayest be delyuered from the euell waye, and from the man that speaketh frowarde thinges. |
| 2:13 | From soche as leaue the hye strete, & walke in the wayes of darckenesse: |
| 2:14 | which reioyse in doynge euell: and delyte in wycked thynges: |
| 2:15 | whose wayes are croked, and they frowarde in thyr pathes. |
| 2:16 | That thou mayest be deliuered also from the straunge woman, and from her that is not thyne awne: which geueth swete wordes, |
| 2:17 | forsaketh the husbande of her youth, & forgetteth the conuenaunt of her God. |
| 2:18 | For her house is enclyned vnto death, & her pathes vnto hell. |
| 2:19 | All they that go in vnto her come not agayn, nether take they holde of the waye of lyfe. |
| 2:20 | Therfore, walke thou in the waye of soch as be verteous, and kepe the pathes of the ryghteous. |
| 2:21 | For the iust shall dwell in the lande: and they that be perfecte shall remayne in it: |
| 2:22 | but the vngodly shalbe roted out of the lande: and the wycked doers shalbe roted out of it. |
