ASV_Strong : Proverbs 2
1. My son[H1121], if thou wilt receive[H3947] my words[H561], And lay[H6845] up my commandments with thee[H4687];
2. So as to incline[H7181] thine ear[H241] unto wisdom[H2451], And apply[H5186] thy heart[H3820] to understanding[H8394];
3. Yea[H7121], if thou cry after discernment[H998], And lift up[H5414] thy voice[H6963] for understanding[H8394];
4. If thou seek[H1245] her as silver[H3701], And search[H2664] for her as for hid treasures[H4301]:
5. Then shalt thou understand[H995] the fear[H3374] of Jehovah[H3068], And find[H4672] the knowledge[H1847] of God[H430].
6. For Jehovah[H3068] giveth[H5414] wisdom[H2451]; Out of his mouth[H6310] cometh knowledge[H1847] and understanding[H1847]:
7. He layeth up[H6845] sound wisdom[H8454] for the upright[H3477]; He is a shield[H4043] to them that walk[H1980] in integrity[H8537];
8. That he may guard[H5341] the paths[H734] of justice[H4941], And preserve[H8104] the way[H1870] of his saints[H2623].
9. Then shalt thou understand[H995] righteousness[H6664] and justice[H4941], And equity[H4339], yea[H2896], every good path[H4570].
10. For wisdom[H2451] shall enter[H935] into thy heart[H3820], And knowledge[H1847] shall be pleasant[H5276] unto thy soul[H5315];
11. Discretion[H4209] shall watch[H8104] over thee[H8394]; Understanding shall keep thee[H8104]:
12. To deliver[H5337] thee from the way[H1870] of evil[H7451], From the men[H376] that speak[H1696] perverse things[H8419];
13. Who forsake[H5800] the paths[H734] of uprightness[H3476], To walk[H3212] in the ways[H1870] of darkness[H2822];
14. Who rejoice[H8056] to do[H6213] evil[H7451], And delight[H1523] in the perverseness[H8419] of evil[H7451];
15. Who are crooked[H6141] in their ways[H734], And wayward[H3868] in their paths[H4570]:
16. To deliver[H5337] thee from the strange[H2114] woman[H802], Even from the foreigner[H5237] that flattereth[H2505] with her words[H561];
17. That forsaketh[H5800] the friend[H441] of her youth[H5271], And forgetteth[H7911] the covenant[H1285] of her God[H430]:
18. For her house[H1004] inclineth[H7743] unto death[H4194], And her paths[H4570] unto the dead[H7496];
19. None that go[H935] unto her return again[H7725], Neither do they attain[H5381] unto the paths[H734] of life[H2416]:
20. That thou mayest walk[H3212] in the way[H1870] of good[H2896] men[H8104], And keep the paths[H734] of the righteous[H6662].
21. For the upright[H3477] shall dwell[H7931] in the land[H776], And the perfect[H8549] shall remain in it[H3498].
22. But the wicked[H7563] shall be cut off[H3772] from the land[H776], And the treacherous[H898] shall be rooted out of it[H5255].
