English Bible Presentation Sharing - Proverbs Book, chapter 2, verse 26 in Esv Version

Proverbs 2 : 1 (ESV)

My son, if you receive my words and treasure up my commandments with you,

Proverbs 2 : 2 (ESV)

making your ear attentive to wisdom and inclining your heart to understanding;

Proverbs 2 : 3 (ESV)

yes, if you call out for insight and raise your voice for understanding,

Proverbs 2 : 4 (ESV)

if you seek it like silver and search for it as for hidden treasures,

Proverbs 2 : 5 (ESV)

then you will understand the fear of the LORD and find the knowledge of God.

Proverbs 2 : 6 (ESV)

For the LORD gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding;

Proverbs 2 : 7 (ESV)

he stores up sound wisdom for the upright; he is a shield to those who walk in integrity,

Proverbs 2 : 8 (ESV)

guarding the paths of justice and watching over the way of his saints.

Proverbs 2 : 9 (ESV)

Then you will understand righteousness and justice and equity, every good path;

Proverbs 2 : 10 (ESV)

for wisdom will come into your heart, and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul;

Proverbs 2 : 11 (ESV)

discretion will watch over you, understanding will guard you,

Proverbs 2 : 12 (ESV)

delivering you from the way of evil, from men of perverted speech,

Proverbs 2 : 13 (ESV)

who forsake the paths of uprightness to walk in the ways of darkness,

Proverbs 2 : 14 (ESV)

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

Proverbs 2 : 15 (ESV)

men whose paths are crooked, and who are devious in their ways.

Proverbs 2 : 16 (ESV)

So you will be delivered from the forbidden woman, from the adulteress with her smooth words,

Proverbs 2 : 17 (ESV)

who forsakes the companion of her youth and forgets the covenant of her God;

Proverbs 2 : 18 (ESV)

for her house sinks down to death, and her paths to the departed;

Proverbs 2 : 19 (ESV)

none who go to her come back, nor do they regain the paths of life.

Proverbs 2 : 20 (ESV)

So you will walk in the way of the good and keep to the paths of the righteous.

Proverbs 2 : 21 (ESV)

For the upright will inhabit the land, and those with integrity will remain in it,

Proverbs 2 : 22 (ESV)

but the wicked will be cut off from the land, and the treacherous will be rooted out of it.
