Moral benefits of wisdom

Proverb 2:1-22

My son, if you accept my words and store up my commands within you, turning your ear to wisdom and applying your heart to understanding— indeed, if you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding, and if you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure, then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God.

Wisdom will save you from the ways of wicked men, from men whose words are perverse,  
who have left the straight paths to walk in dark ways, who delight in doing wrong and rejoice in the perverseness of evil, whose paths are crooked and who are devious in their ways.

For wisdom will enter your heart, and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul. Discretion will protect you, and understanding will guard you.

Wisdom will save you also from the adulterous woman, from the wayward woman with her seductive words, who has left the partner of her youth and ignored the covenant she made before God. Surely her house leads down to death and her paths to the spirits of the dead.
19 None who go to her return or attain the paths of life.

Why?

Wisdom needs us step by step, like to find out the gold and silver.

Wisdom may protect us from dead and wicked men.

The adulterous woman easily attracts us, so only keeping our hearts on the Lord and obeying God's command is the right way in our life. 

How?

Discretion will protect us, and understanding will guard us. Pay effort to search the word of the Lord.
