Yahweh, suffereth not to famish, the soul of the righteous, but, the desire of the lawless, he thrusteth away.

In the multitude of words, there wanteth not transgression, but, he that restraineth his lips, sheweth prudence.

Like the passing away of a tempest, so the lawless one is not, but, the righteous, hath an age-abiding foundation.

The righteous, to times age-abiding, shall remain unshaken, but, the lawless, shall not inhabit the earth.

Wealth, shall not profit, in the day of wrath, but, righteousness, shall deliver from death.

Hand to hand, the wicked man shall not be held innocent, but, the seed of the righteous, hath been delivered.

Surely, to chastise the righteous, is not good, to smite the noble-minded for equity.

A dullard, delighteth not, in understanding, in nothing save the exposing of his own heart.

To prefer a lawless man, is not good, thrusting away the righteous, in judgment.

A false witness, shall not be held innocent, and, he that uttereth lies, shall not escape.

A false witness, shall not be held innocent, and, he that uttereth lies, shall perish.

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

Have I not written for thee noble things, with counsels and knowledge:

Do not rob the poor, because he is poor, neither crush thou the oppressed in the gate;

Do not have friendship with one given to anger, and, with a wrathful man, shall thou not enter in:

Be not of them who strike hands, of them who are sureties for debts:

Do not move back the ancient boundary, which thy father's made.

Seest thou a man prompt in his business? before kings, shall he stand, he shall not stand before men who are obscure.

Do not crave his dainties, for, the same, are deceitful food.

Do not toil to get wealth, of thine own understanding, forbear:

Do not eat the food of him that hath a begrudging eye, neither crave thou his dainties;

For, just as he hath thought in his own mind, so, he is: Eat and drink! he may say to thee, but, his heart, is not with thee.

In the ears of a dullard, do not speak, for he will despise the good sense of thy words.

Do not move back the ancient boundary, and, into the fields of the fatherless, do not enter;

Do not withhold, from a child, correction, When thou smitest him with the rod, he shall not die:

Do not be among them who tipple with wine, - among them who are gluttons;

Hearken to thy father here, who begat thee, and despise not, when she is old, thy mother.

Do not look on wine when it becometh red, when it giveth in the cup its sparkle, glideth down smoothly.

They smote me - I felt no pain, They struck me down - I noticed it not, - When shall I wake up? I will go on, I will seek it, again!

Be not thou envious of wicked men, neither crave to be with them;

Unattainable to a foolish man, are the dictates of wisdom, in the gate, he openeth not his mouth.

Though thou say, Lo! we knew not this, Shall not, he that proveth hearts, himself, discern? And, he that formeth thy soul, himself, know? and bring back to a son of earth according to his deed?

Thus, take knowledge of wisdom, for thine own soul; If thou find it, then there is a future, and, thine expectation, shall not be cut off.

Do not lie in wait, thou lawless man, against the home of the righteous, - neither destroy thou his place of rest;

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

Burn not with vexation against evil doers, be not envious of lawless men;

These things also, concern he wise, To take note of faces in judgment, is not good.

Do not become a needless witness against thy neighbour, so mightest thou open too wide thy lips:

Do not say - According to what he hath done to me, so, will I do to him, I will repay every one according to his work.

Do not honour thyself before a king, nor, in the place of great men, do thou stand;

Do not go forth to strive in haste, - lest thou know not what to do in the latter end thereof, when thy neighbour, hath put thee to shame.

Lest he that heareth expose thee, and, the report concerning thee, turn not away.

As a sparrow in wandering, as a swallow in flying, so, a causeless curse, shall not alight.

Do not answer a dullard, according to his folly, lest, even thou thyself, become like him;

As he who layeth hold of the ears of a dog, is a passer-by, who giveth vent to his wrath over a quarrel, not his!

So, is a man who deceiveth his neighbour, and saith, Was not, I, in sport?

Though he make gracious his voice, do not trust him, for, seven abominations, are in his heart:

Do not boast thyself of to-morrow, for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.

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

Thine own friend and thy father's friend, do not thou forsake; but, the house of thy brother, do not enter, in thy day of calamity, Better a neighbour near, than a brother far off.

Hades and destruction, are not satisfied, and, the eyes of a man, are not satisfied.

Though thou pound a fool in a mortar, amidst grain, with a pestle, his folly, will not depart from him.

Note well, the appearance of thy flock, apply thy mind to thy herds;

For, not age-abiding, are riches, nor is the diadem, from generation to generation: -

Wicked men, consider not justice, but, they who seek Yahweh, consider everything.

He that covereth his transgressions, shall not prosper, but, he that confesseth and forsaketh, shall find compassion.
