잠언 2장 Coverdale Bible
- 1 My sonne, yf thou wilt receaue my wordes, and kepe my comaundemetes by the,
- 2 that thine eare maye herken vnto wysdome, applie thine herte then to vnderstodinge.
- 3 For yf thou criest after wy?dome, & callest for knowlege:
- 4 yf thou sekest after her as after money, and dyggest for her as for treasure:
- 5 The shalt thou vnderstonde ye feare of the LORDE, and fynde ye knowlege of God.
- 6 For it is the LORDE that geueth wy?dome, out of his mouth commeth knowlege and vnderstondinge.
- 7 He preserueth ye welfare of the rightuous, and defendeth them yt walke innocently:
- 8 he kepeth them in ye right path, and preserueth ye waye of his sayntes.
- 9 Then shalt thou vnderstonde rightuousnesse, iudgment and equite, yee and euery good path.
- 10 Yf wy?dome entre in to thine herte, and yi soule delyte in knowlege:
- 11 then shal councell preserue the, and vnderstondinge shal kepe the.
- 12 That thou mayest be delyuered fro ye euell waye, and from the man yt speaketh frowarde thinges.
- 13 From soch as leaue the hye strete, and walke i ye wayes of darcknesse:
- 14 which reioyse in doynge euell, and delyte i wicked thinges:
- 15 whose wayes are croked, and their pathes slaunderous.
- 16 That thou mayest be delyuered also from the straunge woman, and from her that is not thine owne: which geueth swete wordes,
- 17 forsaketh the hu?bande of hir youth, and forgetteth the couenaunt of hir God.
- 18 For hir house is enclyned vnto death, and hir pathes vnto hell.
- 19 All they that go in vnto her, come not agayne, nether take they holde of the waye of life.
- 20 That thou mayest walke in ye good waye, and kepe the pathes of the rightuous.
- 21 For the iust shal dwell in the londe, and the innocentes shal remayne in it:
- 22 but the vngodly shalbe roted out of ye londe, and the wicked doers shalbe taken out of it.
