GOD’S WORD Translation
The Benefit of Wisdom
2 My son,
if you take my words ⌞to heart⌟
and treasure my commands within you,
2 if you pay close attention to wisdom,
and let your mind reach for understanding,
3 if indeed you call out for insight,
if you ask aloud for understanding,
4 if you search for wisdom as if it were money
and hunt for it as if it were hidden treasure,
5 then you will understand the fear of the Lord
and you will find the knowledge of God.
6 The Lord gives wisdom.
From his mouth come knowledge and understanding.
7 He has reserved priceless wisdom for decent people.
He is a shield for those who walk in integrity
8 in order to guard those on paths of justice
and to watch over the way of his godly ones.
9 Then you will understand what is right and just and fair—
every good course ⌞in life⌟.
10 Wisdom will come into your heart.
Knowledge will be pleasant to your soul.
11 Foresight will protect you.
Understanding will guard you.
12 ⌞Wisdom will⌟ save you
from the way of evil,
from the person who speaks devious things,
13 from those who abandon the paths of righteousness
to walk the ways of darkness,
14 from those who enjoy doing evil,
from those who find joy in the deviousness of evil.
15 Their paths are crooked.
Their ways are devious.
16 ⌞Wisdom will⌟ also save you
from an adulterous woman,
from a loose woman with her smooth talk,
17 who leaves ⌞her husband,⌟ the closest friend of her youth,
and forgets her marriage vows to her God.
18 Her house sinks down to death.
Her ways lead to the souls of the dead.
19 None who have sex with her come back.
Nor do they ever reach the paths of life.
20 So walk in the way of good people
and stay on the paths of righteous people.
21 Decent people will live in the land.
People of integrity will remain in it.
22 But wicked people will be cut off from the land
and treacherous people will be torn [a] from it.

The Value of Wisdom
2 (A)My son, (B)if you receive my words
and treasure up my commandments with you,
2 making your ear attentive to wisdom
and inclining your heart to understanding;
3 yes, if you call out for insight
and raise your voice (C)for understanding,
4 if you seek it like (D)silver
and search for it as for (E)hidden treasures,
5 then (F)you will understand the fear of the Lord
and find the knowledge of God.
6 For (G)the Lord gives wisdom;
from his mouth come knowledge and understanding;
7 he stores up sound wisdom for the upright;
he is (H)a shield to those who (I)walk in integrity,
8 guarding the paths of justice
and (J)watching over the way of his (K)saints.
9 (L)Then you will understand (M)righteousness and justice
and equity, every good path;
10 for wisdom will come into your heart,
and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul;
11 (N)discretion will (O)watch over you,
understanding will guard you,
12 delivering you from the way of evil,
from men of perverted speech,
13 who forsake the paths of uprightness
to (P)walk in the ways of darkness,
14 who (Q)rejoice in doing evil
and (R)delight in the perverseness of evil,
15 men whose (S)paths are crooked,
(T)and who are (U)devious in their ways.
16 So (V)you will be delivered from the forbidden[a] woman,
from (W)the adulteress[b] with (X)her smooth words,
17 who forsakes (Y)the companion of her youth
and forgets (Z)the covenant of her God;
18 (AA)for her house sinks down to death,
and her paths to the departed;[c]
19 none who go to her come back,
nor do they regain the paths of life.
20 So you will walk in the way of the good
and keep to the paths of the righteous.
21 For the upright (AB)will inhabit the land,
and those with integrity will remain in it,
22 but the wicked will be (AC)cut off from the land,
and the treacherous will be (AD)rooted out of it.

Proverbs 2
King James Version
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;
3 Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding;
4 If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures;
5 Then shalt thou understand the fear of the Lord, and find the knowledge of God.
6 For the Lord giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.
7 He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly.
8 He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints.
9 Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yea, every good path.
10 When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul;
11 Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee:
12 To deliver thee from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaketh froward things;
13 Who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness;
14 Who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the frowardness of the wicked;
15 Whose ways are crooked, and they froward in their paths:
16 To deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the stranger which flattereth with her words;
17 Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God.
18 For her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead.
19 None that go unto her return again, neither take they hold of the paths of life.
20 That thou mayest walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths of the righteous.
21 For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it.
22 But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it.

Excelencias de la sabiduría
2 Hijo mío, si recibieres mis palabras,
Y mis mandamientos guardares dentro de ti,
2 Haciendo estar atento tu oído a la sabiduría;
Si inclinares tu corazón a la prudencia,
3 Si clamares a la inteligencia,
Y a la prudencia dieres tu voz;
4 Si como a la plata la buscares,
Y la escudriñares como a tesoros,
5 Entonces entenderás el temor de Jehová,
Y hallarás el conocimiento de Dios.
6 Porque Jehová da la sabiduría,
Y de su boca viene el conocimiento y la inteligencia.
7 Él provee de sana sabiduría a los rectos;
Es escudo a los que caminan rectamente.
8 Es el que guarda las veredas del juicio,
Y preserva el camino de sus santos.
9 Entonces entenderás justicia, juicio
Y equidad, y todo buen camino.
10 Cuando la sabiduría entrare en tu corazón,
Y la ciencia fuere grata a tu alma,
11 La discreción te guardará;
Te preservará la inteligencia,
12 Para librarte del mal camino,
De los hombres que hablan perversidades,
13 Que dejan los caminos derechos,
Para andar por sendas tenebrosas;
14 Que se alegran haciendo el mal,
Que se huelgan en las perversidades del vicio;
15 Cuyas veredas son torcidas,
Y torcidos sus caminos.
16 Serás librado de la mujer extraña,
De la ajena que halaga con sus palabras,
17 La cual abandona al compañero de su juventud,
Y se olvida del pacto de su Dios.
18 Por lo cual su casa está inclinada a la muerte,
Y sus veredas hacia los muertos;
19 Todos los que a ella se lleguen, no volverán,
Ni seguirán otra vez los senderos de la vida.
20 Así andarás por el camino de los buenos,
Y seguirás las veredas de los justos;
21 Porque los rectos habitarán la tierra,
Y los perfectos permanecerán en ella,
22 Mas los impíos serán cortados de la tierra,
Y los prevaricadores serán de ella desarraigados.

Притчи 2
Russian Synodal Version
2 Сын мой! если ты примешь слова мои и сохранишь при себе заповеди мои,
2 так что ухо твое сделаешь внимательным к мудрости и наклонишь сердце твое к размышлению;
3 если будешь призывать знание и взывать к разуму;
4 если будешь искать его, как серебра, и отыскивать его, как сокровище,
5 то уразумеешь страх Господень и найдешь познание о Боге.
6 Ибо Господь дает мудрость; из уст Его--знание и разум;
7 Он сохраняет для праведных спасение; Он--щит для ходящих непорочно;
8 Он охраняет пути правды и оберегает стезю святых Своих.
9 Тогда ты уразумеешь правду и правосудие и прямоту, всякую добрую стезю.
10 Когда мудрость войдет в сердце твое, и знание будет приятно душе твоей,
11 тогда рассудительность будет оберегать тебя, разум будет охранять тебя,
12 дабы спасти тебя от пути злого, от человека, говорящего ложь,
13 от тех, которые оставляют стези прямые, чтобы ходить путями тьмы;
14 от тех, которые радуются, делая зло, восхищаются злым развратом,
15 которых пути кривы, и которые блуждают на стезях своих;
16 дабы спасти тебя от жены другого, от чужой, которая умягчает речи свои,
17 которая оставила руководителя юности своей и забыла завет Бога своего.
18 Дом ее ведет к смерти, и стези ее--к мертвецам;
19 никто из вошедших к ней не возвращается и не вступает на путь жизни.
20 Посему ходи путем добрых и держись стезей праведников,
21 потому что праведные будут жить на земле, и непорочные пребудут на ней;
22 а беззаконные будут истреблены с земли, и вероломные искоренены из нее.
