Listen well to God's wisdom
treasure His commandments in heart
have a seeking heart to find silver
so understand fully His counsel, not a part

You'll then experience the fear of the Lord
and receive the clear knowledge of God
be full of integrity in your walk
to know righteous wisdom in sweet accord

Receive wisdom right into your heart
discretion will be looking upon you
to be delivered from the way of evil
and men of crooked paths, not a few

So now delivered from that forbidden woman
from these words of adultery so smooth
for she and her house will sink in death
be thankful always for all God's truth

You will walk in the paths of righteousness
the land will be filled with the upright
but the wicked will be cut off completely
for the righteous will be dressed in white

(Proverbs ch. 2: 1-22)

(My son, if you receive my words
    and treasure up my commandments with you,
making your ear attentive to wisdom
    and inclining your heart to understanding;
yes, if you call out for insight
    and raise your voice for understanding,
if you seek it like silver
    and search for it as for hidden treasures,
then you will understand the fear of the Lord
    and find the knowledge of God.
For the Lord gives wisdom;
    from his mouth come knowledge and understanding;
he stores up sound wisdom for the upright;
    he is a shield to those who walk in integrity,
guarding the paths of justice
    and watching over the way of his saints.
Then you will understand righteousness and justice
    and equity, every good path;
for wisdom will come into your heart,
    and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul;
discretion will watch over you,
    understanding will guard you,
delivering you from the way of evil,
    from men of perverted speech,
who forsake the paths of uprightness
    to walk in the ways of darkness,
who rejoice in doing evil
    and delight in the perverseness of evil,
men whose paths are crooked,
    and who are devious in their ways.
So you will be delivered from the forbidden woman,
    from the adulteress with her smooth words,
who forsakes the companion of her youth
    and forgets the covenant of her God;
for her house sinks down to death,
    and her paths to the departed;
none who go to her come back,
    nor do they regain the paths of life.
So you will walk in the way of the good
    and keep to the paths of the righteous.
For the upright will inhabit the land,
    and those with integrity will remain in it,
but the wicked will be cut off from the land,
    and the treacherous will be rooted out of it.)
