If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause:

Let us swallow them up alive as the grave; and whole, as those that go down into the pit:

Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have one purse:

My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:

Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:

My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion:

He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine heart retain my words: keep my commandments, and live.

Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go: keep her; for she is thy life.

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

Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee.

Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established.

Let thy fountains be dispersed abroad, and rivers of waters in the streets.

Let them be only thine own, and not strangers' with thee.

Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth.

Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant roe; let her breasts satisfy thee at all times; and be thou ravished always with her love.

Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids.

Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning: let us solace ourselves with loves.

Let not thine heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths.

Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,

Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: and as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,

Let a bear robbed of her whelps meet a man, rather than a fool in his folly.

Chasten thy son while there is hope, and let not thy soul spare for his crying.

Let not thine heart envy sinners: but be thou in the fear of the LORD all the day long.

My son, give me thine heart, and let thine eyes observe my ways.

Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth:

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

A man that doeth violence to the blood of any person shall flee to the pit; let no man stay him.

Let him drink, and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more.

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