Proverbs 2:6-15

Tree of Life Version

⁶ For Adonai gives wisdom.^[a]
Out of His mouth comes knowledge and understanding.
⁷ He stores up sound wisdom for the upright.
He is a shield to those who walk in integrity.
⁸ He guards the paths of justice,
and protects the way of His kedoshim.
⁹ Then you will discern what is right
    and just and fair—every good path.
¹⁰ For wisdom will enter your heart
and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul.
¹¹ Discretion will watch over you
—discernment will guard you—
¹² to deliver you from the way of evil,
    from those speaking perverse things,
¹³ who leave the straight paths
    to walk in ways of darkness,
¹⁴ who rejoice in doing wrong
    and delight in the perversity of evil,
¹⁵ whose paths are crooked
    and are devious in their ways—
