Proverbs 2

Holman Christian Standard Bible CSB

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 loyal followers.

9 Then you will understand righteousness, justice, and integrity-every good path.

10 For wisdom will enter your mind, and knowledge will delight your heart.

11 Discretion will watch over you, and understanding will guard you,

12 rescuing you from the way of evil- from the one 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 perversity,

15 whose paths are crooked, and whose ways are devious.

16 It will rescue you from a forbidden woman, from a stranger with her flattering talk,

17 who abandons the companion of her youth and forgets the covenant of her God;

18 for her house sinks down to death and her ways to the land of the departed spirits.

19 None return who go to her; none reach the paths of life.

20 So follow the way of good people, and keep to the paths of the righteous.

21 For the upright will inhabit the land, and those of integrity will remain in it;

22 but the wicked will be cut off from the land, and the treacherous uprooted from it.

English Standard Version ESV

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

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

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

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

5 then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find 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 watching over the way of his saints.

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

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

11 discretion will watch over you, understanding will guard you,

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

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

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

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,

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

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

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

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

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

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