The peace/prosperity from wisdom

This is still a very early look into the unfinished text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.

Readers’ Version

Literal Version

2:1 The peace/prosperity from wisdom

2My child, if you accept my sayings

and internalise my commands,

2so you’ll be attentive to wisdom

and your mind will look for understanding,

3if you’ll call out for insight,

raising your voice to ask for understanding,

4if you go after it as if it’s silver

and search for it as if it was hidden treasure,

5then you’ll understand how to respect and obey Yahweh

and you’ll learn more about God.

6That’s because Yahweh gives wisdom

knowledge and understanding come from his mouth

7and he gives true wisdom to godly people

a protective shield for those walking with integrity.

8to guard the paths of justice,

and he will preserve the way of those who’re faithful to him.

9Then you’ll understand righteousness and justice and integrity—every good path to walk,

10because wisdom will enter into your mind

and knowledge will give you pleasure.

11Discretion will watch over you.

Understanding will guard you

12to rescue you off the path of wicked people—

from people who speak perversely

13the ones who abandon the paths of godliness

to walk in the ways of darkness,

14the ones who are glad to do evil.

They rejoice in perverse things of evil,

15whose paths are crooked

and going astray in their tracks.

16Being discreet and insightful will rescue you from a strange woman—

from a foreign woman who makes her sayings smooth,
