Proverbs 2:1-16
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 2
1
My son, if you will receive my words
And treasure my commandments within you,
2
Make your ear attentive to wisdom;
Incline your heart to understanding.
3
For if you cry out for insight,
And
raise your voice for understanding;
4
If you seek her as silver
And search for her as for hidden treasures;
5
Then you will understand 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 in integrity,
8
Guarding the paths of justice,
And He watches over the way of His godly ones.
9
Then you will discern righteousness, justice,
And integrity,
and
every good path.
10
For wisdom will enter your heart,
And knowledge will be delightful to your soul;
11
Discretion will watch over you,
Understanding will guard you,
12
To rescue you from the way of evil,
From a person who speaks perverse things;
13
From
those who leave the paths of uprightness
To walk in the ways of darkness;
14
Who delight in doing evil
And
rejoice in the perversity of evil;
15
Whose paths are crooked,
And who are devious in their ways;
16
To rescue you from the strange woman,
From the foreign woman who flatters with her words,
King James Version
Chapter 2
1
My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee;
2
So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding;
3
Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding;
4
If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures;
5
Then shalt thou understand the fear of the
Lord
, and find the knowledge of God.
6
For the
Lord
giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.
7
He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly.
8
He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints.
9
Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yea, every good path.
10
When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul;
11
Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee:
12
To deliver thee from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaketh froward things;
13
Who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness;
14
Who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the frowardness of the wicked;
15
Whose ways are crooked, and they froward in their paths:
16
To deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the stranger which flattereth with her words;
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 2
1
My son, if you accept my words
and store up my commands within you,
2
listening closely to wisdom
and directing your heart to understanding;
3
furthermore, if you call out to insight
and lift your voice to understanding,
4
if you seek it like silver
and search for it like hidden treasure,
5
then you will understand 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 success for the upright;
He is a shield for those who live with integrity
8
so that he may guard the paths of justice
and protect the way of his faithful followers.
9
Then you will understand righteousness, justice,
and integrity—every good path.
10
For wisdom will enter your heart,
and knowledge will delight you.
11
Discretion will watch over you,
and understanding will guard you.
12
It will rescue you from the way of evil—
from anyone who says perverse things,
13
from those who abandon the right paths
to walk in ways of darkness,
14
from those who enjoy doing evil
and celebrate perversion,
15
whose paths are crooked,
and whose ways are devious.
16
It will rescue you from a forbidden woman,
from a wayward woman with her flattering talk,
New Living Translation
Chapter 2
1
My child, listen to what I say,
and treasure my commands.
2
Tune your ears to wisdom,
and concentrate on understanding.
3
Cry out for insight,
and ask for understanding.
4
Search for them as you would for silver;
seek them like hidden treasures.
5
Then you will understand what it means to fear the
Lord
,
and you will gain knowledge of God.
6
For the
Lord
grants wisdom!
From his mouth come knowledge and understanding.
7
He grants a treasure of common sense to the honest.
He is a shield to those who walk with integrity.
8
He guards the paths of the just
and protects those who are faithful to him.
9
Then you will understand what is right, just, and fair,
and you will find the right way to go.
10
For wisdom will enter your heart,
and knowledge will fill you with joy.
11
Wise choices will watch over you.
Understanding will keep you safe.
12
Wisdom will save you from evil people,
from those whose words are twisted.
13
These men turn from the right way
to walk down dark paths.
14
They take pleasure in doing wrong,
and they enjoy the twisted ways of evil.
15
Their actions are crooked,
and their ways are wrong.
16
Wisdom will save you from the immoral woman,
from the seductive words of the promiscuous woman.
English Standard Version

15
men whose paths are crooked,
and who are devious in their ways.
16
So you will be delivered from the forbidden woman,
from the adulteress with her smooth words,

from the wayward woman with her seductive words,
