And lay up my commandments with thee;

And apply thy heart to understanding;

And lift up thy voice for understanding;

And search for her as for hid treasures:

And find the knowledge of God.

Out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding:

He is a shield to them that walk in integrity;

And preserve the way of his saints.

And equity, yea, every good path.

And knowledge shall be pleasant unto thy soul;

Understanding shall keep thee:

From the men that speak perverse things;

To walk in the ways of darkness;

And delight in the perverseness of evil;

And wayward in their paths:

Even from the foreigner that flattereth with her words;

And forgetteth the covenant of her God:

And her paths unto the dead;

Neither do they attain unto the paths of life:

And keep the paths of the righteous.

And the perfect shall remain in it.

And the treacherous shall be rooted out of it.
