Proverbs 2
2
Seek Treasures of Wisdom
1My son, if you accept my words and treasure my mitzvot within you,
2making your ear attentive to wisdom, inclining your heart to discernment,
3yes, if you call out for insight, lifting up your voice for discernment,
4if you seek her as silver and search for her as for hidden treasures,
5then you will know the fear of Adonai and discover the knowledge of God.
6For Adonai gives wisdom. Out of His mouth comes knowledge and understanding.
7He stores up sound wisdom for the upright. He is a shield to those who walk in integrity.
8He guards the paths of justice, and protects the way of His kedoshim.
9Then you will discern what is right and just and fair—every good path.
10For wisdom will enter your heart and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul.
11Discretion will watch over you —discernment will guard you—
12to deliver you from the way of evil, from those speaking perverse things,
13who leave the straight paths to walk in ways of darkness,
14who rejoice in doing wrong and delight in the perversity of evil,
15whose paths are crooked and are devious in their ways—
16to deliver you from a seducing woman— a wayward wife with seductive words,
17who forsakes the partner of her youth and forgets the covenant of her God.
18For her house sinks down to death and her tracks to the dead.
19None who go to her return nor reach the paths of life.
20So you will walk in the way of good men and keep to the paths of the righteous.
21For the upright will dwell in the land and the blameless will remain in it.
22But the wicked will be cut off from the land and the treacherous uprooted from it.

Proverbs 2
2
Good Things Come From Wisdom
1My son, accept my words.
Store up my commands inside you.
2Let your ears listen to wisdom.
Apply your heart to understanding.
3Call out for the ability to be wise.
Cry out for understanding.
4Look for it as you would look for silver.
Search for it as you would search for hidden treasure.
5Then you will understand how to have respect for the Lord.
You will find out how to know God.
6The Lord gives wisdom.
Knowledge and understanding come from his mouth.
7He stores up success for honest people.
He is like a shield to those who live without blame.
8He guards the path of those who are honest.
He watches over the way of his faithful ones.
9You will understand what is right and honest and fair.
You will understand the right way to live.
10Your heart will become wise.
Your mind will delight in knowledge.
11Good sense will keep you safe.
Understanding will guard you.
12Wisdom will save you from the ways of evil men.
It will save you from men who twist their words.
13Men like that have left the straight paths
to walk in dark ways.
14They take delight in doing what is wrong.
They take joy in twisting everything around.
15Their paths are crooked.
Their ways are not straight.
16Wisdom will save you from a woman who commits adultery.
It will save you from a sinful woman and her tempting words.
17She has left the man she married when she was young.
She has broken the promise she made in front of God.
18Surely her house leads down to death.
Her paths lead to the spirits of the dead.
19No one who goes to her comes back
or reaches the paths of life.
20You will walk in the ways of good people.
You will follow the paths of those who do right.
21Honest people will live in the land.
Those who are without blame will remain in it.
22But sinners will be cut off from the land.
Those who aren’t faithful will be torn away from it.
