The Pursuit of Wisdom Brings Security

1

My sonh1121, ifh518 you will  areceiveh3947 my wordsh561 And  btreasureh6845 my commandmentsh4687 withinh854 you,

2

 aMakeh7181 your earh241 attentiveh7181 to wisdomh2451, Inclineh5186 your hearth3820 to understandingh8394;

3

For ifh518 you cryh7121 for discernmenth998,  1Lifth5414 your voiceh6963 for understandingh8394;

4

Ifh518 you seekh1245 her as  asilverh3701 And searchh2664 for her as for  bhiddenh4301 treasuresh4301;

5

Thenh227 you will discernh995 the  afearh3374 of the LORDh3068 And discoverh4672 the knowledgeh1847 of Godh430.

6

For  athe LORDh3068 givesh5414 wisdomh2451; From His mouthh6310 come knowledgeh1847 and understandingh8394.

7

He storesh6845 up soundh8454 wisdomh8454 for the uprighth3477; He is a  ashieldh4043 to those who walkh1980 in integrityh8537,

8

Guardingh5341 the pathsh734 of justiceh4941, And He  apreservesh8104 the wayh1870 of His godlyh2623 onesh2623.

9

Thenh227 you will discernh995  arighteousnessh6664 and justiceh4941 And equityh4339 and everyh3605  bgoodh2896a courseh4570.

10

For  awisdomh2451 will enterh935 your hearth3820 And  bknowledgeh1847 will be pleasanth5276 to your soulh5315;

11

Discretionh4209 will  aguardh8104 you, Understandingh8394 will watchh5341 over you,

12

To  adeliverh5337 you from the wayh1870 of evilh7451b, From the manh376 who speaksh1696  bperverseh8419 thingsh8419;

13

From those who  aleaveh5800a the pathsh734 of uprightnessh3476 To walkh1980 in the  bwaysh1870 of darknessh2822;

14

Whoh8056  adelighth8056 in doingh6213a evilh7451b And rejoiceh1523 in the perversityh8419 of evilh7451b;

15

Whoseh834 pathsh734 are  acrookedh6141, And who are devioush3868 in their waysh4570;

16

To  adeliverh5337 you from the strangeh2114a womanh802, From the  1 badulteressh5237 who flattersh2505b with her wordsh561;

17

That leavesh5800a the  acompanionh441a of her youthh5271 And forgetsh7911 the  bcovenanth1285 of her Godh430;

18

For  aher househ1004  1sinksh7743 downh7743 to deathh4194 And her tracksh4570 lead to the  2deadh7496;

19

Noneh3605h3808  awho goh935 to her returnh7725 again, Norh3808 do they reachh5381 the  bpathsh734 of lifeh2425b.

20

Soh4616 you will  awalkh1980 in the wayh1870 of goodh2896a menh2896a And keeph8104 to the  bpathsh734 of the righteoush6662.

21

For  athe uprighth3477 will  1liveh7931 in the landh776 And  bthe blamelessh8549 will remainh3498 in it;

22

But  athe wickedh7563 will be cuth3772 offh3772 from the landh776 And  bthe treacheroush898 will be  cuprootedh5255 from it.
