3For if thou wilt call after intelligence; if after understanding thou wilt lift up thy voice;
4If thou wilt seek her as silver, and search for her as for hidden treasures:
5Then wilt thou understand the fear of the Lord, and the knowledge of God wilt thou find.
6For the Lord giveth wisdom: out of his mouth come knowledge and understanding.
7He treasureth up sound wisdom for the righteous, as a shield to those that walk in integrity:
8That men may keep the paths of justice; and the way of his pious servants doth he guard.
9Then wilt thou understand righteousness, and justice, and equity: yea, every track of goodness.
10For wisdom will enter thy heart, and knowledge will be pleasant unto thy soul;
11Discretion will watch over thee, understanding will keep thee;
12To deliver thee from the way of the bad, from the man that speaketh perverse things;
13From those who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness;
14Who rejoice to do evil, who are delighted in the perverseness of the bad;
15Who as regardeth their paths are crooked, and froward in their tracks.
16To deliver thee from the adulteress, from the alien woman that useth flattering speeches;
