Holy Bible - Revised Standard Version(RSV)

2:1	My son, if you receive my words and treasure up my commandments with you,
2:2	making your ear attentive to wisdom and inclining your heart to understanding;
2:3	yes, if you 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 in integrity,
2:8	guarding the paths of justice and preserving the way of his saints.
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	discretion will watch over you;understanding will guard you;
2:12	delivering you from the way of evil, from men of perverted speech,
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	men whose paths are crooked, and who are devious in their ways.
2:16	You will be saved from the loose woman, from the adventuress with her smooth words,
2:17	who forsakes the companion of her youth and forgets the covenant of her God;
2:18	for her house sinks down to death, and her paths to the shades;
2:19	none who go to her come back nor do they regain the paths of life.
2:20	So you will walk in the way of good men and keep to the paths of the righteous.
2:21	For the upright will inhabit the land, and men of integrity 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.
