## Text

[1] My son, if you accept my words
and hide my commandments within you, [2] if you incline your ear to wisdom
and direct your heart to understanding, [3] if you truly call out to insight
and lift your voice to understanding, [4] if you seek it like silver
and search it out like hidden treasure, [5] then you will discern the fear of the LORD
and discover the knowledge of God. [6] For the LORD gives wisdom;
from His mouth come knowledge and understanding. [7] He stores up sound wisdom for the upright;
He is a shield to those who walk with integrity, [8] to guard the paths of justice
and protect the way of His saints. [9] Then you will discern righteousness
and justice and equity—every good path. [10] For wisdom will enter your heart,
and knowledge will delight your soul. [11] Discretion will watch over you,
and understanding will guard you, [12] to deliver you from the way of evil,
from the man who speaks perversity, [13] from those who leave the straight paths
to walk in the ways of darkness, [14] from those who enjoy doing evil
and rejoice in the twistedness of evil, [15] whose paths are crooked
and whose ways are devious. [16] It will rescue you from the forbidden woman,
from the stranger with seductive words [17] who abandons the partner of her youth
and forgets the covenant of her God. [18] For her house sinks down to death,
and her tracks to the departed spirits. [19] None who go to her return
or negotiate the paths of life. [20] So you will follow in the ways of the good,
and keep to the paths of the righteous. [21] For the upright will inhabit the land,
and the blameless will remain in it; [22] but the wicked will be cut off from the land,
and the unfaithful will be uprooted.
