2 My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee;

² So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding;

⁶ For the Lord giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.

¹⁰ When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul;

¹² To deliver thee from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaketh froward things;

¹⁶ To deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the stranger which flattereth with her words;
