Proverbs 2:18 (NET) New English Translation

1 My child, if you receive my words, and store up my commands within you,
2 by making your ear attentive to wisdom, and by turning your heart to understanding,
3 indeed, if you call out for discernment— raise your voice for understanding—
4 if you seek it like silver, and search for it like hidden treasure,
5 then you will understand how to fear the LORD, and you will discover knowledge about God.
6 For the LORD gives wisdom, and from his mouth comes knowledge and understanding.
7 He stores up effective counsel for the upright, and is like a shield for those who live with integrity,
8 to guard the paths of the righteous and to protect the way of his pious ones.
9 Then you will understand righteousness and justice and equity— every good way.
10 For wisdom will enter your heart, and moral knowledge will be attractive to you.
11 Discretion will protect you, understanding will guard you,
12 to deliver you from the way of the wicked, from those speaking perversity,
13 who leave the upright paths to walk on the dark ways,
14 who delight in doing evil, they rejoice in perverse evil;
15 whose paths are morally crooked, and who are devious in their ways;
16 to deliver you from the adulteress, from the sexually loose woman who speaks flattering words;
17 who leaves the husband from her younger days, and forgets her marriage covenant made before God.
18 For her house sinks down to death, and her paths lead to the place of the departed spirits.
19 None who go in to her will return, nor will they reach the paths of life.
20 So you will walk in the way of good people, and will keep on the paths of the righteous.
21 For the upright will reside in the land, and those with integrity will remain in it,
22 but the wicked will be removed from the land, and the treacherous will be torn away from it.
1 My son H1121 NMS-1MS , if H518 PART thou wilt receive H3947 VQY2MS my words H561 CMP-1MS , and hide H6845 VQY2MS my commandments H4687 W-CFP-1MS with H854 PART-2FS thee ;

4 If H518 PART thou seekest H1245 VPY2MS-3FS her as silver H3701 KD-NMS , and searchest H2664 VQY2MS-3FS for her as for hid treasures H4301 WKD-NMP ;
5 Then H227 ADV shalt thou understand H995 VQY2MS the fear H3374 CFS of the LORD H3068 EDS , and find H4672 VQY2MS the knowledge H1847 W-VQFC of God H430 EDP .

8 He keepeth H5341 L-VQFC the paths H734 CFP of judgment H4941 NMS , and preserveth H8104 VQY3MS the way H1870 W-NMS of his saints H2623 W-NMS .
9 Then H227 ADV shalt thou understand H995 VQY2MS righteousness H6664 NMS , and judgment H4941 W-NMS , and equity H4339 W-NMP ; yea , every H3605 NMS good H2896 AMS path H4570 CMS .

12 To deliver H5337 thee from the way H1870 of the evil H7451 AMS man , from the man H376 M-NMS that speaketh H1696 VPPMS froward things H8419 ;
13 Who leave H5800 the paths H734 CFP of uprightness H3476 NMS , to walk H1980 L-VQFC in the ways H1870 of darkness H2822 NMS ;
14 Who rejoice H8056 to do H6213 L-VQFC evil H7451 AMS , and delight in H1523 the frowardness H8419 of the wicked H7451 AMS ;
15 Whose H834 RPRO ways H734 are crooked H6141 , and they froward H3868 in their paths H4570 :
16 To deliver H5337 thee from the strange woman H802 , even from the stranger H5237 which flattereth H2505 with her words H561 CMP-3FS ;
17 Which forsaketh H5800 the guide H441 of her youth H5271 , and forgetteth H7911 the covenant H1285 NFS of her God H430 .
18 For H3588 CONJ her house H1004 inclineth H7743 unto H413 PREP death H4194 NMS , and her paths H4570 unto H413 PREP the dead H7496 .
19 None H3808 NADV that go unto H935 her return again H7725 , neither H3808 ADV take they hold H5381 VHY3MP of the paths H734 CFP of life H2416 NMP .
