Proverbs 2
The Pursuit Of Wisdom Brings Security
And treasure my commandments within you,
And apply your heart to understanding [seeking it conscientiously and striving for it eagerly];
And lift up your voice for understanding;
And search for her as you would hidden treasures;
And discover the knowledge of God.
From His mouth come knowledge and understanding.
He is a shield to those who walk in integrity [those of honorable character and moral courage],
And He preserves the way of His saints (believers).
And integrity and every good path.
And knowledge will be pleasant to your soul.
Understanding and discernment will guard you,
From the man who speaks perverse things;
To walk in the ways of darkness;
And delight in the perversity of evil,
And who are devious in their ways;
From the seductress with her flattering words,
And forgets the covenant of her God.
And her paths lead to the dead;
Nor do they regain the paths of life—
And keep to the paths of the righteous.
And those [of integrity] who are blameless [in God’s sight] will remain in it;
And the treacherous shall be [forcibly] uprooted and removed from it.
