Douay Bible - Proverbs Chapter 2

Proverbs 2:1
My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and wilt hide my commandments with thee,

Proverbs 2:2
That thy ear may hearken to wisdom: Incline thy heart to know prudence:

Proverbs 2:3
For if thou shalt call for wisdom, and incline thy heart to prudence:

Proverbs 2:4
If thou shalt seek her as money, and shalt dig for her as for a treasure:

Proverbs 2:5
Then shalt thou understand the fear of the Lord, and shalt find the knowledge of God.

Proverbs 2:6
Because the Lord giveth wisdom: and out of his mouth cometh prudence and knowledge.

Proverbs 2:7
He will keep the salvation of the righteous, and protect them that walk in simplicity.

Proverbs 2:8
Keeping the paths of justice, and guarding the ways of saints.

Proverbs 2:9
Then shalt thou understand justice, and judgment, and equity, and every good path.

Proverbs 2:10
If wisdom shall enter into thy heart, and knowledge please thy soul:

Proverbs 2:11
Counsel shall keep thee, and prudence shall preserve thee,

Proverbs 2:12
That thou mayst be delivered from the evil way, and from the man that speaketh perverse things:

Proverbs 2:13
Who leave the right way, and walk by dark ways:

Proverbs 2:14
Who are glad when they have done evil, and rejoice in most wicked things:

Proverbs 2:15
Whose ways are perverse, and their steps infamous.

Proverbs 2:16
That thou mayst be delivered from the strange women, and from the stranger, who softeneth her words:

Proverbs 2:17
And forsaketh the guide of her youth,

Proverbs 2:18
And hath forgotten the covenant of her God: for her house inclineth unto death, and her paths to hell.

Proverbs 2:19
None that go in unto her shall return again, neither shall they take hold of the paths of life,

Proverbs 2:20
That thou mayst walk in a good way: and mayst keep the paths of the just.

Proverbs 2:21
For they that are upright shall dwell in the earth, and the simple shall continue in it.

Proverbs 2:22
But the wicked shall be destroyed from the earth: and they that do unjustly shall be taken away from it.

Introduction to the Douay-Rheims Bible

The Douay-Rheims Bible is an English translation of the Latin Vulgate, a 4th-century Latin translation of the Bible. It was published in the late 16th and early 17th centuries for English-speaking Catholics. The New Testament was published in 1582 and the Old Testament in 1609-10. It is considered one of the most influential English Bibles of the time. The Douay-Rheims Bible differs from other versions in several ways: Translation source: Unlike many other English Bibles that were translated from the original Greek and Hebrew texts, the Douay-Rheims was translated from the Latin Vulgate, which was the standard version of the Bible for the Catholic Church for many centuries.
