Scriptures

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Proverbs 2
⁵ Then you will discern the fear of the Lord And discover the knowledge of God.
⁶ For the Lord gives wisdom; From His mouth come knowledge and understanding.
⁷ He stores up sound wisdom for the upright; He is a shield to those who walk in integrity,
⁸ Guarding the paths of justice, And He preserves the way of His godly ones.
⁹ Then you will discern righteousness and justice And equity and every good course.
¹⁰ For wisdom will enter your heart And knowledge will be pleasant to your soul;
¹¹ Discretion will guard you, Understanding will watch over you,
¹² To deliver you from the way of evil, From the man who speaks perverse things;
¹³ From those who leave the paths of uprightness To walk in the ways of darkness;
¹⁴ Who delight in doing evil And rejoice in the perversity of evil;
¹⁵ Whose paths are crooked, And who are devious in their ways;
