The Benefits of wisdom


My child listen to what I say,
and treasure my commands.
Tune your ears to wisdom,
 and concentrate to understanding.
Cry out for insight,
 and ask for understanding.
Search for them as you would for silver,
 and seek them like hidden treasures.
Then you understand what it means to fear the lord,
 and you will gain knowledge of God.
For the Lord grants wisdom!
 Fro his mouth come knowledge and understanding.
He grants a treasure of common sense to the honest.
 He is a shield to those who walk with integrity.
He guards the path of the just
 and protect those who are faithful to him.


Then you will understand what is right, just, and fair,
 and you will find the right way to go.
For wisdom will enter your heart,
 and knowledge will fill you with joy.
Wise choices will watch over you.
 Understanding will keep you safe.

Wisdom will save you from evil people,
 from those whose words are twisted.
These men turn from the right way
 to walk down dark paths.
They take pleasure in doing wrong,
 and they enjoy the twisted ways of evil.
Their action are crooked,
 and their way are wrong.

Wisdom will save you from the immoral woman,
 from the seductive words of the promiscuous woman.
She has abandoned her husband
 and ignores the covenant she made before God.
Entering her house leads to death;
 it is the road to the grave.
The man who visits her is doomed.
He will never reach the path of life.

Follow the steps of good men instead,
 and stay on the paths of the righteous.
For only the godly will leave in the land,
 and those with integrity will remain init.
But the wicked will removed from the land.
 and treacherous will be uprooted.
