2 My son, if you will ^(A)receive my words
And ^(B)treasure my commandments within you,

^2 (A)Make your ear attentive to wisdom;
Incline your heart to understanding.

⁶ For ^(A)the Lord gives wisdom;
From His mouth come knowledge and understanding.

¹⁰ For ^(A)wisdom will enter your heart,
And ^(B)knowledge will be delightful to your soul;

¹² To ^(A)rescue you from the way of evil,
From a person who speaks ^(B)perverse things;

¹⁶ To ^(A)rescue you from the strange woman,
From the ^(B)foreign woman who flatters with her words,
