If they say - Come with us, - Let us lie in wait for blood, Let us watch in secret for him who is needlessly innocent;

Let us engulf them, like hades, alive, While in health, like them who are going down to the pit;

My son, mine instruction, do not thou forget, and, my commandment, let thy heart observe;

Lovingkindness and faithfulness, let them not forsake thee, - bind them, upon thy neck, write them upon the tablet of thy heart:

My son, let them not depart from thine eyes, guard thou counsel, and purpose:

So he taught me, and said to me - Let thy heart, lay hold of my words, Keep my commandments and live!

Take fast hold of correction, let her not go, - keep her, for, she, is thy life.

Let them not depart from thine eyes, keep them in the midst of thy heart;

Let, thine eyes, right onward, look, - and, thine eyelashes, point straight before thee.

Let not thy fountains, flow over, abroad, in the streets, dividings of waters:

Let them be for thyself, alone, and not for strangers with thee.

Let thy well-spring be blessed, - and get thy joy from the wife of thy youth: -

A loving hind! a graceful doe! let, her bosom, content thee at all times, and, in her love, mayst thou stray evermore.

Do not covet her beauty, in thy heart, neither let her take thee, by her eyelashes;

Come! let us take our fill of endearments, until morning, let us delight ourselves with caresses;

Let not thy heart, turn aside to her ways, Do not go astray, in her paths.

Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither, as for him that lacketh sense, she saith to him -

Whoso is simple, let him turn aside hither, and, as for him that lacketh sense, she saith to him:

Let a bereaved bear encounter man, rather than a dullard, with his folly!

Correct thy son, because there is hope, yet, not so as to slay him, let thy passion be excited.

A man in a rage, taketh away the penalty, - nevertheless, if thou let him go free, the more stripes must thou add.

The reverence of Yahweh, leadeth to life, satisfied then, let a man remain - let him not be visited by calamity.

Wilt thou let thine eye fly thereupon, when it is nothing? for it will, surely make, itself wings, Like an eagle, will it wing its way across the heavens.

Let not thy heart be envious of sinners, only of the reverence of Yahweh, all day long;

Oh give, my son, thy mind unto me, and let, thine eyes, observe, my ways;

When thine enemy falleth, do not thou rejoice, and, when he stumbleth, let not thy heart exult:

Let another praise thee, and not thine own mouth, a stranger, and not thine own lips.

Let, iron, by iron, become sharp, and let, a man, sharpen the face of his friend.

A man oppressed with a person's blood, unto a pit, shall flee, let them not hold him back.

All his anger, doth a dullard let go, but, a wise man, by keeping it back, stilleth it.

Where there is no vision, a people is let loose, but, he that keepeth instruction, how happy is he!

Let him drink, and forget his poverty, and, his wearying toil, let him remember no more.

Give her of the fruit of her own hands, and let her own works, praise her in the gates.
