1 My son, if you will receive my words, and hide my commandments with you; AKJV — Proverbs 2:1
2 So that you incline your ear to wisdom, and apply your heart to understanding; AKJV — Proverbs 2:2
3 Yes, if you cry after knowledge, and lift up your voice for understanding; AKJV — Proverbs 2:3
4 If you seek her as silver, and search for her as for hid treasures; AKJV — Proverbs 2:4
5 Then shall you understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God. AKJV — Proverbs 2:5
6 For the LORD gives wisdom: out of his mouth comes knowledge and understanding. AKJV — Proverbs 2:6
7 He lays up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly. AKJV — Proverbs 2:7
8 He keeps the paths of judgment, and preserves the way of his saints. AKJV — Proverbs 2:8
9 Then shall you understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yes, every good path. AKJV — Proverbs 2:9
10 When wisdom enters into your heart, and knowledge is pleasant to your soul; AKJV — Proverbs 2:10
11 Discretion shall preserve you, understanding shall keep you: AKJV — Proverbs 2:11
12 To deliver you from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaks fraudulent things; AKJV — Proverbs 2:12
13 Who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness; AKJV — Proverbs 2:13
14 Who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the frowardness of the wicked; AKJV — Proverbs 2:14
15 Whose ways are crooked, and they fraudulent in their paths: AKJV — Proverbs 2:15
16 To deliver you from the strange woman, even from the stranger which flatters with her words; AKJV — Proverbs 2:16
17 Which forsakes the guide of her youth, and forgets the covenant of her God. AKJV — Proverbs 2:17
18 For her house inclines to death, and her paths to the dead. AKJV — Proverbs 2:18
19 None that go to her return again, neither take they hold of the paths of life. AKJV — Proverbs 2:19
20 That you may walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths of the righteous. AKJV — Proverbs 2:20
21 For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it. AKJV — Proverbs 2:21
22 But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it. AKJV — Proverbs 2:22
