Holy Bible - New Revised Standard Version(NRSV)

2:1	My child, if you accept my words and treasure up my commandments within you,
2:2	making your ear attentive to wisdom and inclining your heart to understanding;
2:3	if you indeed cry out for insight, and raise your voice for understanding;
2:4	if you seek it like silver, and search for it as for hidden treasures--
2:5	then you will understand the fear of the LORD and find the knowledge of God.
2:6	For the LORD gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding;
2:7	he stores up sound wisdom for the upright; he is a shield to those who walk blamelessly,
2:8	guarding the paths of justice and preserving the way of his faithful ones.
2:9	Then you will understand righteousness and justice and equity, every good path;
2:10	for wisdom will come into your heart, and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul;
2:11	prudence will watch over you; and understanding will guard you.
2:12	It will save you from the way of evil, from those who speak perversely,
2:13	who forsake the paths of uprightness to walk in the ways of darkness,
2:14	who rejoice in doing evil and delight in the perverseness of evil;
2:15	those whose paths are crooked, and who are devious in their ways.
2:16	You will be saved from the loose woman, from the adulteress with her smooth words,
2:17	who forsakes the partner of her youth and forgets her sacred covenant;
2:18	for her way leads down to death, and her paths to the shades;
2:19	those who go to her never come back, nor do they regain the paths of life.
2:20	Therefore walk in the way of the good, and keep to the paths of the just.
2:21	For the upright will abide in the land, and the innocent will remain in it;
2:22	but the wicked will be cut off from the land, and the treacherous will be rooted out of it.
