Proverbs Chapter 2

 

1 My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee;

Prov 4:21  Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart.

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;

Prov 3:14  For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.

Matt 13:44  Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.

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.

1 Kings 3:9  Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and bad: for who is able to judge this thy so great a people?

James 1:5  If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

7 He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly.

Psalms 84:11  For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.

8 He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints.

1 Sam 2:9  He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail.

Psalm 66:9  Which holdeth our soul in life, and suffereth not our feet to be moved.

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:

Prov 6:22  When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with 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;

John 3:19  And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

14 Who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the frowardness of the wicked;

Jer 11:15  What hath my beloved to do in mine house, seeing she hath wrought lewdness with many, and the holy flesh is passed from thee? when thou doest evil, then thou rejoicest.

Romans 1:32  Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

15 Whose ways are crooked, and they froward in their paths:

Psalms 125:5  As for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, the LORD shall lead them forth with the workers of iniquity: but peace shall be upon Israel.

16 To deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the stranger which flattereth with her words;

Prov
5:3  For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil:
5:20  And why wilt thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger?

17 Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God.

Mal 2
14 Yet ye say, Wherefore? Because the LORD hath been witness between thee and the wife of thy youth, against whom thou hast dealt treacherously: yet is she thy companion, and the wife of thy covenant.

15 And did not he make one? Yet had he the residue of the spirit. And wherefore one? That he might seek a godly seed. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth.

18 For her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead.

Prov 7:27 Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death.

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.

Psalms 37:29  The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever.
