1My son, if you accept my words Pr 4:10

and store up my commands within you,

2listening closely Lit you, stretching out your ear to wisdom

and directing your heart to understanding;

3furthermore, if you call out to insight

and lift your voice to understanding,

4if you seek it like silver

and search for it like hidden treasure, Jb 3:21; Mt 13:44

5then you will understand the fear of the Lord

and discover the knowledge of God.

6For the Lord gives wisdom;

from His mouth come knowledge and understanding. Jb 32:8

7He stores up success Or resourcefulness for the upright;

He is a shield for those who live with integrity Ps 84:11; Pr 10:9; 20:7; 28:18; 30:5

8so that He may guard the paths of justice

and protect the way of His loyal followers. 1Sm 2:9; Ps 66:9

9Then you will understand righteousness, justice,

and integrity — every good path.

10For wisdom will enter your mind,

and knowledge will delight your heart.

11Discretion will watch over you,

and understanding will guard you, Pr 4:6; 6:22

12rescuing you from the way of evil —

from the one who says perverse things,

13from those who abandon the right paths

to walk in ways of darkness, Ps 82:5; Pr 15:19; 16:17; Jn 3:19,20

14from those who enjoy doing evil Pr 10:23

and celebrate perversion,

15whose paths are crooked, Ps 125:5; Pr 21:8

and whose ways are devious. Pr 3:32; 14:2

16It will rescue you from a forbidden woman, Pr 9:13-18

from a stranger Or foreign woman with her flattering talk, Pr 5:3,20; 6:24; 7:5,21; 23:27

17who abandons the companion of her youth Mal 2:14-15

and forgets the covenant of her God;

18for her house sinks down to death

and her ways to the land of the departed spirits. Pr 7:27; 9:18; 21:16

19None return who go to her;

none reach the paths of life. Ps 16:11; Pr 5:6; 7:5,21-27; 23:27-28; Ec 7:26

20So follow the way of good people, Heb 6:12

and keep to the paths of the righteous.

21For the upright will inhabit the land,

and those of integrity will remain in it; Pr 10:30; Mt 5:5-6

22but the wicked will be cut off from the land, Ps 37:38

and the treacherous uprooted from it. Dt 28:63; Ps 52:5
