O ye simple, understand wisdom: and, ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart.

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

The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.

The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.

And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein.

I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me.

BETH. Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word.

Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thine heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: but know thou, that for all these things God will bring thee into judgment.

Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them;

Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded.
