Proverbios 2
Dios Habla Hoy
Beneficios que ofrece la sabiduría
2 Haz tuyas mis palabras, hijo mío;
guarda en tu mente mis mandamientos.
2 Presta oído a la sabiduría;
entrega tu mente a la inteligencia.
3 Pide con todas tus fuerzas
inteligencia y buen juicio;
4 entrégate por completo a buscarlos,
cual si buscaras plata o un tesoro escondido.
5 Entonces sabrás lo que es honrar al Señor;
¡descubrirás lo que es conocer a Dios!
6 Pues el Señor es quien da la sabiduría;
la ciencia y el conocimiento brotan de sus labios.
7 El Señor da su ayuda y protección
a los que viven rectamente y sin tacha;
8 cuida de los que se conducen con justicia,
y protege a los que le son fieles.
9 Sabrás también lo que es recto y justo,
y estarás atento a todo lo bueno,
10 pues tu mente obtendrá sabiduría
y probarás la dulzura del saber.
11 La discreción y la inteligencia
serán tus constantes protectoras;
12 ellas te librarán del mal camino
y de los hombres perversos,
13 de los que dejan el buen camino
y se van por senderos oscuros,
14 que se divierten haciendo daño
y festejan sus malas acciones,
15 que andan por caminos torcidos
y se han desviado del recto sendero.
16 Te librarán también de la mujer ajena,
de la extraña de palabras seductoras
17 que abandona al compañero de su juventud
y olvida su compromiso con Dios.
18 Tomar el camino que lleva a la casa de ella
es tomar el camino que lleva a la muerte;
19 los que entran en su casa ya no vuelven,
jamás vuelven a recorrer el sendero de la vida.
20 Anda, pues, por el buen camino,
y practica la conducta de los justos.
21 Porque los que viven rectamente y sin tacha
vivirán para siempre en la tierra;
22 pero los malvados y traidores
serán arrancados y expulsados de ella.
Proverbs 2
English Standard Version
The Value of Wisdom
2 (A)My son, (B)if you receive my words
and treasure up my commandments with you,
2 making your ear attentive to wisdom
and inclining your heart to understanding;
3 yes, if you call out for insight
and raise your voice (C)for understanding,
4 if you seek it like (D)silver
and search for it as for (E)hidden treasures,
5 then (F)you will understand the fear of the Lord
and find the knowledge of God.
6 For (G)the Lord gives wisdom;
from his mouth come knowledge and understanding;
7 he stores up sound wisdom for the upright;
he is (H)a shield to those who (I)walk in integrity,
8 guarding the paths of justice
and (J)watching over the way of his (K)saints.
9 (L)Then you will understand (M)righteousness and justice
and equity, every good path;
10 for wisdom will come into your heart,
and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul;
11 (N)discretion will (O)watch over you,
understanding will guard you,
12 delivering you from the way of evil,
from men of perverted speech,
13 who forsake the paths of uprightness
to (P)walk in the ways of darkness,
14 who (Q)rejoice in doing evil
and (R)delight in the perverseness of evil,
15 men whose (S)paths are crooked,
(T)and who are (U)devious in their ways.
16 So (V)you will be delivered from the forbidden[a] woman,
from (W)the adulteress[b] with (X)her smooth words,
17 who forsakes (Y)the companion of her youth
and forgets (Z)the covenant of her God;
18 (AA)for her house sinks down to death,
and her paths to the departed;[c]
19 none who go to her come back,
nor do they regain the paths of life.
20 So you will walk in the way of the good
and keep to the paths of the righteous.
21 For the upright (AB)will inhabit the land,
and those with integrity will remain in it,
22 but the wicked will be (AC)cut off from the land,
and the treacherous will be (AD)rooted out of it.

Proverbs 2
New King James Version
The Value of Wisdom
2 My son, if you receive my words,
And (A)treasure my commands within you,
2 So that you incline your ear to wisdom,
And apply your heart to understanding;
3 Yes, if you cry out for discernment,
And lift up your voice for understanding,
4 (B)If you seek her as silver,
And search for her as for hidden treasures;
5 (C)Then you will understand the fear of the Lord,
And find the knowledge of God.
6 (D)For the Lord gives wisdom;
From His mouth come knowledge and understanding;
7 He stores up sound wisdom for the upright;
(E)He is a shield to those who walk uprightly;
8 He guards the paths of justice,
And (F)preserves the way of His saints.
9 Then you will understand righteousness and justice,
Equity and every good path.
10 When wisdom enters your heart,
And knowledge is pleasant to your soul,
11 Discretion will preserve you;
(G)Understanding will keep 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 (H)walk in the ways of darkness;
14 (I)Who rejoice in doing evil,
And delight in the perversity of the wicked;
15 (J)Whose ways are crooked,
And who are devious in their paths;
16 To deliver you from (K)the immoral woman,
(L)From the seductress who flatters with her words,
17 Who forsakes the companion of her youth,
And forgets the covenant of her God.
18 For (M)her house [a]leads down to death,
And her paths to the dead;
19 None who go to her return,
Nor do they [b]regain the paths of life—
20 So you may walk in the way of goodness,
And keep to the paths of righteousness.
21 For the upright will dwell in the (N)land,
And the blameless will remain in it;
22 But the wicked will be [c]cut off from the [d]earth,
And the unfaithful will be uprooted from it.
