Pr 2:1 | Wisdom promises godliness to her children; |
Pr 2:1 | ¶ My son, if1 thou wilt receive my words, and hide2 my commandments with thee; |
Pr 2:2 | So that thou3 incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply4 thine heart to understanding; |
Pr 2:3 KNOWLEDGE-IGNORANCE WISDOM-FOLLY | Yea, if5 thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice6 for understanding; |
Pr 2:4 WISDOM-FOLLY | If thou7 seekest her as silver, and searchest8 for her as for hid treasures; |
Pr 2:5 | Then shalt9 thou understand the fear10 of the LORD, and find11 the knowledge of God. |
Pr 2:6 WISDOM-FOLLY WISDOM-FOLLY | For the LORD12 giveth wisdom: out13 of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding. |
Pr 2:7 UPRIGHTNESS, REWARD OF | He layeth14 up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler15 to them that walk uprightly. |
Pr 2:8 PROVIDENCE DIVINE | He keepeth16 the paths of judgment, and17 preserveth the way of his saints. |
Pr 2:9 PATHS, RIGHT | 18Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yea, every good path. |
Pr 2:10 | and safety from evil company; |
Pr 2:10 KNOWLEDGE-IGNORANCE | ¶19When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul; |
Pr 2:11 PRUDENCE-RASHNESS | 20Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee: |
Pr 2:12 | To deliver21 thee from the way of the evil man, from the man22 that speaketh froward things; |
Pr 2:13 LIGHT-DARKNESS | Who leave23 the paths of uprightness, to walk24 in the ways of darkness; |
Pr 2:14 SIN-SAVIOUR | Who rejoice25 to do evil, and26 delight in the frowardness of the wicked; |
Pr 2:15 PATHWAY OF SIN SIMPLICITY-DUPLICITY | 27Whose ways are crooked, and they froward in their paths: |
Pr 2:16 | To deliver28 thee from the strange woman, even from the stranger which flattereth29 with her words; |
Pr 2:17 | Which forsaketh the guide30 of her youth, and forgetteth31 the covenant of her God. |
Pr 2:18 WOMEN | 32For her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead. |
Pr 2:19 | None33 that go unto her return again, neither take34 they hold of the paths of life. |
Pr 2:20 | and direction in good ways. |
Pr 2:20 ASSOCIATION-SEPARATION | ¶35That thou mayest walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths of the righteous. |
Pr 2:21 UPRIGHTNESS, REWARD OF | 36For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it. |
Pr 2:22 RIGHTEOUS-WICKED | But the wicked37 shall be cut off from the earth, and the transgressors shall be rooted38 out of it. |
