Proverbs 2 :: Hebrew Names Version (HNV)

Pro 2:1My son, if you will receive my words, And store up my mitzvot within you;
Pro 2:2So as to turn your ear to wisdom, And apply your heart to understanding;
Pro 2:3Yes, if you call out for discernment, And lift up your voice for understanding;
Pro 2:4If you seek her as silver, And search for her as for hidden treasures:
Pro 2:5Then you will understand the fear of the LORD, And find the knowledge of God.
Pro 2:6For the LORD gives wisdom. Out of his mouth comes knowledge and understanding.
Pro 2:7He lays up sound wisdom for the upright. He is a shield to those who walk in integrity;
Pro 2:8That he may guard the paths of justice, And preserve the way of his holy ones.
Pro 2:9Then you will understand righteousness and justice, Equity and every good path.
Pro 2:10For wisdom will enter into your heart. Knowledge will be pleasant to your soul.
Pro 2:11Discretion will watch over you. Understanding will keep you,
Pro 2:12To deliver you from the way of evil, From the men who speak perverse things;
Pro 2:13Who forsake the paths of uprightness, To walk in the ways of darkness;
Pro 2:14Who rejoice to do evil, And delight in the perverseness of evil;
Pro 2:15Who are crooked in their ways, And wayward in their paths:
Pro 2:16To deliver you from the strange woman, Even from the foreigner who flatters with her words;
Pro 2:17Who forsakes the friend of her youth, And forgets the covenant of her God:
Pro 2:18For her house leads down to death, Her paths to the dead.
Pro 2:19None who go to her return again, Neither do they attain to the paths of life:
Pro 2:20That you may walk in the way of good men, And keep the paths of the righteous.
Pro 2:21For the upright will dwell in the land. The perfect will remain in it.
Pro 2:22But the wicked will be cut off from the land. The treacherous will be rooted out of it.
