Pro 2:1 My child, learn what I teach you and never forget what I tell you to do.
Pro 2:2 Listen to what is wise and try to understand it.
Pro 2:3 Yes, beg for knowledge; plead for insight.
Pro 2:4 Look for it as hard as you would for silver or some hidden treasure.
Pro 2:5 If you do, you will know what it means to fear the LORD and you will succeed in learning about God.
Pro 2:6 It is the LORD who gives wisdom; from him come knowledge and understanding.
Pro 2:7 He provides help and protection for those who are righteous and honest.
Pro 2:8 He protects those who treat others fairly, and guards those who are devoted to him.
Pro 2:9 If you listen to me, you will know what is right, just, and fair. You will know what you should do.
Pro 2:10 You will become wise, and your knowledge will give you pleasure.
Pro 2:11 Your insight and understanding will protect you
Pro 2:12 and prevent you from doing the wrong thing. They will keep you away from people who stir up trouble by what they say---
Pro 2:13 those who have abandoned a righteous life to live in the darkness of sin,
Pro 2:14 those who find pleasure in doing wrong and who enjoy senseless evil,
Pro 2:15 unreliable people who cannot be trusted.
Pro 2:16 You will be able to resist any immoral woman who tries to seduce you with her smooth talk,
Pro 2:17 who is faithless to her own husband and forgets her sacred vows.
Pro 2:18 If you go to her house, you are traveling the road to death. To go there is to approach the world of the dead.
Pro 2:19 No one who visits her ever comes back. He never returns to the road to life.
Pro 2:20 So you must follow the example of good people and live a righteous life.
Pro 2:21 Righteous people---people of integrity---will live in this land of ours.
Pro 2:22 But God will snatch the wicked from the land and pull sinners out of it like plants from the ground.
