Proverbs 2:7–9

he stores up sound wisdom for the upright;

he is a shield to those who walk in integrity,

guarding the paths of justice

and watching over the way of his saints.

Then you will understand righteousness and justice

and equity, every good path;

He holds success in store for the upright,

he is a shield to those whose walk is blameless,

for he guards the course of the just

and protects the way of his faithful ones.

Then you will understand what is right and just

and fair—every good path.

He grants a treasure of common sense to the honest.

He is a shield to those who walk with integrity.

He guards the paths of the just

and protects those who are faithful to him.

Then you will understand what is right, just, and fair,

and you will find the right way to go.

For the upright, he stores sound judgment, a shield for those who walk uprightly,

in order to guard paths of justice

and keep the way of his faithful ones.

Then you will understand righteousness and justice

and uprightness—every good course—

He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous:

He is a buckler to them that walk uprightly.

He keepeth the paths of judgment,

And preserveth the way of his saints.

Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment,

And equity; yea, every good path.
