KJV
King James Version
YLT
Young's Literal Translation
My son, if thou wilt
receive
my words
, and hide
my commandments
with thee ;
My son, if thou dost
accept
my sayings
, And my commands
dost
lay
up
with thee ,
So
that
thou
incline
thine ear unto
wisdom, and
apply
thine
heart to understanding ;
To
cause
thine ear to
attend
to
wisdom, Thou
inclinest
thy
heart to understanding ,
Yea
, if thou criest
after
knowledge
, and
liftest
up
thy
voice
for understanding ;
For
, if for
intelligence
thou callest
, For understanding givest
forth
thy
voice,
If thou seekest
her as silver, and searchest
for
her
as for
hid treasures ;
If thou dost
seek
her as silver, And as hid treasures searchest
for
her,
Then shalt
thou understand
the
fear of the
LORD
, and find
the
knowledge of God.
Then understandest
thou fear of Jehovah
, And knowledge of God thou
findest
.
For the
LORD
giveth wisdom :
out
of
his mouth cometh
knowledge and understanding.
For Jehovah
giveth wisdom ,
From
His mouth knowledge and understanding.
He
layeth
up sound
wisdom
for the righteous:
he
is
a buckler
to
them
that
walk
uprightly.
Even
to
lay
up for the upright
substance,
A shield
for
those
walking
uprightly.
He
keepeth
the paths of judgment, and preserveth
the way of his saints.
To
keep
the paths of judgment, And the way of His saints He
preserveth
.
Then shalt
thou understand
righteousness, and judgment, and equity;
yea,
every good path.
Then understandest
thou righteousness, And judgment, and uprightness
--
every good path.
When
wisdom entereth
into thine
heart, and knowledge is
pleasant
unto
thy soul ;
For
wisdom cometh
into thy
heart, And knowledge to
thy soul is
pleasant,
Discretion
shall
preserve
thee, understanding shall
keep thee :
Thoughtfulness
doth
watch
over
thee, Understanding doth
keep thee ,
To deliver thee from the
way
of
the
evil man
, from the
man
that
speaketh
froward things ;
To deliver thee from an
evil way
, From any
speaking
froward things ,
Who leave
the
paths of uprightness, to walk in the
ways of darkness ;
Who are
forsaking
paths of uprightness, To walk in ways of darkness ,
Who rejoice
to do evil, and
delight in the
frowardness of the wicked ;
Who are
rejoicing
to do evil, They
delight in frowardness of the wicked ,
Whose ways
are crooked, and
they froward
in their paths:
Whose paths
`
are '
crooked, Yea,
they are
perverted
in their ways.
To deliver thee from the strange woman, even
from the stranger which
flattereth
with
her words;
To deliver thee from the strange woman, From the stranger who
hath
made
smooth
her sayings,
Which
forsaketh
the guide of her youth, and forgetteth
the covenant of her God.
Who
is
forsaking
the guide of her youth, And the covenant of her God hath
forgotten
.
For her house inclineth
unto death, and her paths unto
the
dead
.
For her house hath
inclined
unto death, And unto
Rephaim
her paths.
None that
go
unto her return
again
, neither
take
they hold
of
the paths of life.
None going
in
unto her turn
back
, Nor
do
they reach
the paths of life.
That thou mayest
walk
in the way of good men
, and keep
the paths of the righteous.
That thou dost
go
in the way of the
good, And the paths of the righteous dost
keep
.
For the upright shall
dwell
in
the land
, and the perfect shall
remain
in it .
For the upright do
inhabit
the earth
, And the perfect are
left
in it ,
But
the wicked shall
be
cut
off
from the earth, and the
transgressors
shall
be
rooted
out of it .
And
the wicked from the earth are
cut
off
, And treacherous
dealers
plucked
out of it !
