Proverbs 2

New International Version NIV

1 My son, if you accept my words and store up my commands within you,

2 turning your ear to wisdom and applying your heart to understanding—

3 indeed, if you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding,

4 and if you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure,

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 holds success in store for the upright, he is a shield to those whose walk is blameless,

8 for he guards the course of the just and protects the way of his faithful ones.

9 Then you will understand what is right and just and fair—every good path.

10 For wisdom will enter your heart, and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul.

11 Discretion will protect you, and understanding will guard you.

12 Wisdom will save you from the ways of wicked men, from men whose words are perverse,

13 who have left the straight paths to walk in dark ways,

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

15 whose paths are crooked and who are devious in their ways.

16 Wisdom will save you also from the adulterous woman, from the wayward woman with her seductive words,

17 who has left the partner of her youth and ignored the covenant she made before God.

18 Surely her house leads down to death and her paths to the spirits of the dead.

19 None who go to her return or attain the paths of life.

20 Thus you will walk in the ways of the good and keep to the paths of the righteous.

21 For the upright will live in 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 torn from it.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 fili mi si susceperis sermones meos et mandata mea absconderis penes te

2 ut audiat sapientiam auris tua inclina cor tuum ad noscendam prudentiam

3 si enim sapientiam invocaveris et inclinaveris cor tuum prudentiae

4 si quaesieris eam quasi pecuniam et sicut thesauros effoderis illam

5 tunc intelleges timorem Domini et scientiam Dei invenies

6 quia Dominus dat sapientiam et ex ore eius scientia et prudentia

7 custodiet rectorum salutem et proteget gradientes simpliciter

8 servans semitas iustitiae et vias sanctorum custodiens

9 tunc intelleges iustitiam et iudicium et aequitatem et omnem semitam bonam

10 si intraverit sapientia cor tuum et scientia animae tuae placuerit

11 consilium custodiet te prudentia servabit te

12 ut eruaris de via mala ab homine qui perversa loquitur

13 qui relinquunt iter rectum et ambulant per vias tenebrosas

14 qui laetantur cum malefecerint et exultant in rebus pessimis

15 quorum viae perversae et infames gressus eorum

16 ut eruaris a muliere aliena et ab extranea quae mollit sermones suos

17 et relinquit ducem pubertatis suae

18 et pacti Dei sui oblita est inclinata est enim ad mortem domus eius et ad impios semitae ipsius

19 omnes qui ingrediuntur ad eam non revertentur nec adprehendent semitas vitae

20 ut ambules in via bona et calles iustorum custodias

21 qui enim recti sunt habitabunt in terra et simplices permanebunt in ea

22 impii vero de terra perdentur et qui inique agunt auferentur ex ea
