The Bible (sometimes The Book or Good Book; from Greek (τα) βιβλια, (ta) biblia, (the) books, plural of βιβλιον, biblion, "book", originally a diminutive of βιβλος, biblos, which in turn is derived from βυβλος—byblos, meaning "papyrus", from the ancient Phoenician city of Byblos which exported this writing material), is the classical name for the Hebrew Bible of Judaism or the combination of the Old Testament and New Testament of Christianity ("The Bible" therefore actually refers to at least two different Bibles). It is thus applied to sacred scriptures. Many Christian English speakers refer to the Christian Bible as "the good book". For many people, their Bible is the revealed word of God or an authoritative record of the relationship between God, the world, and humankind. Both Bibles have been the most widely distributed of books. It has also been translated more times, and into more languages, than any other book. The complete Bible, or portions of it, have been translated into more than 2,100 languages. It is said that more than 5 billion copies of the Bible have been sold since 1815, making it the biggest selling book of all-time.

Chapter 2

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

2: So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding;

3: Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding;

4: If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures;

5: Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.

6: For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.

7: He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly.

8: He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints.

9: Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yea, every good path.

10: When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul;

11: Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee:

12: To deliver thee from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaketh froward things;

13: Who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness;

14: Who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the frowardness of the wicked;

15: Whose ways are crooked, and they froward in their paths:

16: To deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the stranger which flattereth with herwords;

17: Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God.

18: For her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead.

19: None that go unto her return again, neither take they hold of the paths of life.

20: That thou mayest walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths of the righteous.

21: For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it.

22: But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it.
