Thematic Bible

Proverbs 2:1

My son, if you receive my words and treasure up my commandments with you,

Proverbs 2:2

making your ear attentive to wisdom and inclining your heart to understanding;

Proverbs 2:3

yes, if you call out for insight and raise your voice for understanding,

Proverbs 2:4

if you seek it like silver and search for it as for hidden treasures,

Proverbs 2:5

then you will understand the fear of the LORD and find the knowledge of God.

Proverbs 2:6

For the LORD gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding;

Proverbs 2:7

he stores up sound wisdom for the upright; he is a shield to those who walk in integrity,

Proverbs 2:8

guarding the paths of justice and watching over the way of his saints.

Proverbs 2:9

Then you will understand righteousness and justice and equity, every good path;

Proverbs 2:10

for wisdom will come into your heart, and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul;

Proverbs 2:11

discretion will watch over you, understanding will guard you,

Proverbs 2:12

delivering you from the way of evil, from men of perverted speech,

Proverbs 2:13

who forsake the paths of uprightness to walk in the ways of darkness,

Proverbs 2:14

who rejoice in doing evil and delight in the perverseness of evil,

Proverbs 2:15

men whose paths are crooked, and who are devious in their ways.

Proverbs 2:16

So you will be delivered from the forbidden woman, from the adulteress with her smooth words,

Proverbs 2:17

who forsakes the companion of her youth and forgets the covenant of her God;

Proverbs 2:18

for her house sinks down to death, and her paths to the departed;

Proverbs 2:19

none who go to her come back, nor do they regain the paths of life.

Proverbs 2:20

So you will walk in the way of the good and keep to the paths of the righteous.

Proverbs 2:21

For the upright will inhabit the land, and those with integrity will remain in it,

Proverbs 2:22

but the wicked will be cut off from the land, and the treacherous will be rooted out of it.
