¹ MY son, if you will receive my words and hide my commandments in your heart,² And incline your ear to wisdom and apply your heart to understanding,³ Yea, if you cry after knowledge and lift up your voice to understanding,⁴ If you seek it as silver, and search for it as for hidden treasure;⁵ Then you will understand how to worship the LORD and find the knowledge of God.⁶ For it is the LORD who gives wisdom; out of his mouth come knowledge and understanding.⁷ He stores up hope for the upright; he helps those who walk without blemish.⁸ He keeps the paths of justice, and preserves the ways of his saints.⁹ Then you will understand righteousness and justice and the uprightness of all good ways.

¹⁰ When wisdom enters into your heart and knowledge is pleasant to your soul.¹¹ Intelligence shall preserve you, and the understanding of the pious men shall deliver you;¹² That you might be delivered from evil ways, from men who speak perverse things,¹³ Who forsake the path of uprightness to walk in the way of darkness;¹⁴ Who rejoice to do evil and delight in the perverseness of evil things;¹⁵ Men whose ways are crooked and whose paths are perverse.¹⁶ Wisdom shall deliver you from a strange woman who flatters with her words,¹⁷ Who has forsaken the mother of her youth and forgotten the covenant of her God.¹⁸ For she has forgotten the threshold of her house and the way of her paths.¹⁹ None who go to her return again, neither do they remember the path of life.²⁰ Therefore you must walk in the way of good men and keep the path of the righteous.²¹ For the upright shall dwell in the land, and those who are unblemished shall remain in it.²² But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth and the ungodly shall be rooted out of it.
