CHAP. II.
1 Wisedome promiseth godlinesse to her children, 10 and safety from euill company, 20 and direction in good wayes.
1My sonne, if thou wilt receiue my words, and hide my commaundements with thee;
2So that thou incline thine eare vnto wisedome, and apply thine heart to vnderstanding:
3Yea if thou cryest after knowledge, and liftest vp thy voyce for vnderstanding:3
4If thou seekest her as siluer, and searchest for her, as for hid treasures:4
5Then shalt thou vnderstand the feare of the Lord, and find the knowledge of God.
6For the Lord giueth wisedome: out of his mouth commeth knowledge, and vnderstanding.6
7He layeth vp sound wisedome for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walke vprightly.
8He keepeth the pathes of iudgement, and preserueth the way of his Saints.
9Then shalt thou vnderstand righteousnesse, and iudgement, and equity; yea euery good path.
10ΒΆ When wisedome entreth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant vnto thy soule;
11Discretion shall preserue thee, vnderstanding shall keepe thee:
12To deliuer thee from the way of the euill man, from the man that speaketh froward things.
13Who leaue the pathes of vprightnesse, to walke in the wayes of darkenesse:
14Who reioyce to doe euill, and delight in the frowardnesse of the wicked.
15Whose wayes are crooked, and they froward in their pathes.
16To deliuer thee from the strange woman, euen from the stranger, which flattereth with her words:16
17Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the couenant of her God.
18For her house inclineth vnto death, and her pathes vnto the dead:
19None that goe vnto her, returne againe, neither take they hold of the pathes of life.
20That thou mayest walke in the way of good men, and keepe the pathes of the righteous.
21For the vpright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remaine in it.21
22But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the transgressours shalbe rooted out of it.22
