Proverbs 2 — DRA

2Verse 1My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and wilt hide my commandments with thee,^{Verse 2}That thy ear may hearken to wisdom: Incline thy heart to know prudence:^{Verse 3}For if thou shalt call for wisdom, and incline thy heart to prudence:^{Verse 4}If thou shalt seek her as money, and shalt dig for her as for a treasure:^{Verse 5}Then shalt thou understand the fear of the Lord, and shalt find the knowledge of God.^{Verse 6}Because the Lord giveth wisdom: and out of his mouth cometh prudence and knowledge.^{Verse 7}He will keep the salvation of the righteous, and protect them that walk in simplicity.^{Verse 8}Keeping the paths of justice, and guarding the ways of saints.^{Verse 9}Then shalt thou understand justice, and judgment, and equity, and every good path.^{Verse 10}If wisdom shall enter into thy heart, and knowledge please thy soul:^{Verse 11}Counsel shall keep thee, and prudence shall preserve thee,^{Verse 12}That thou mayst be delivered from the evil way, and from the man that speaketh perverse things:^{Verse 13}Who leave the right way, and walk by dark ways:^{Verse 14}Who are glad when they have done evil, and rejoice in most wicked things:^{Verse 15}Whose ways are perverse, and their steps infamous.^{Verse 16}That thou mayst be delivered from the strange women, and from the stranger, who softeneth her words:^{Verse 17}And forsaketh the guide of her youth,^{Verse 18}And hath forgotten the covenant of her God: for her house inclineth unto death, and her paths to hell.^{Verse 19}None that go in unto her shall return again, neither shall they take hold of the paths of life,^{Verse 20}That thou mayst walk in a good way: and mayst keep the paths of the just.^{Verse 21}For they that are upright shall dwell in the earth, and the simple shall continue in it.^{Verse 22}But the wicked shall be destroyed from the earth: and they that do unjustly shall be taken away from it.
