1
|
|
| My son, if thou wilt receive the utterance of my commandment, and hide it with thee; | |
|
2
|
|
| thine ear shall hearken to wisdom; thou shalt also apply thine heart to understanding, and shalt apply it to the instruction of thy son. | |
|
3
|
|
| For if thou shalt call to wisdom, and utter thy voice for understanding; | |
|
4
|
|
| and if thou shalt seek it as silver, and search diligently for it as for treasures; | |
|
5
|
|
| then shalt thou understand the fear of the Lord, and find the knowledge of God. | |
|
6
|
|
| For the Lord gives wisdom; and from his presence come knowledge and understanding, | |
|
7
|
|
| and he treasures up salvation for them that walk uprightly: he will protect their way; | |
|
8
|
|
| that he may guard the righteous ways: and he will preserve the way of them that fear him. | |
|
9
|
|
| Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment; and shalt direct all thy course aright. | |
|
10
|
|
| For if wisdom shall come into thine understanding, and discernment shall seem pleasing to thy soul, | |
|
11
|
|
| good counsel shall guard thee, and holy understanding shall keep thee; | |
|
12
|
|
| to deliver thee from the evil way, and from the man that speaks nothing faithfully. | |
|
13
|
|
| Alas for those who forsake right paths, to walk in ways of darkness; | |
|
14
|
|
| who rejoice in evils, and delight in wicked perverseness; | |
|
15
|
|
| whose paths are crooked, and their courses winding; | |
|
16
|
|
| to remove thee far from the straight way, and to estrange thee from a righteous purpose. My son, let not evil counsel overtake thee, | |
|
17
|
|
| of her who has forsaken the instruction of her youth, and forgotten the covenant of God. | |
|
18
|
|
| For she has fixed her house near death, and guided her wheels near Hades with the giants. | |
|
19
|
|
| None that go by her shall return, neither shall they take hold of right paths, for they are not apprehended of the years of life. | |
|
20
|
|
| For had they gone in good paths, they would have found the paths of righteousness easy. | |
|
21
|
|
| For the upright shall dwell in the earth, and the holy shall be left behind in it. | |
|
22
|
|
| The paths of the ungodly shall perish out of the earth, and transgressors shall be driven away from it. |
