Train up a youth, in the direction of his duty, even when he becometh old, he will not depart from it.

The rich, over the poor, beareth rule, - and, slave, is the borrower to the lender.

More choice, is a name, than great riches, beyond silver and gold, is pleasant grace.

For, Yahweh, will plead their cause, and will despoil their despoilers of life.

Foolishness, is bound up in the heart of a youth, the rod of correction, shall drive it far from him.

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

Lest thou learn his ways, and take a snare to thy soul.

If thou hast nothing to pay, why should one take away thy bed from under thee?

The reward of humility, is the reverence of Yahweh, riches, and honour, and life.

He that oppresseth the poor, to make increase for himself, giving to the rich, shall surely come to want.

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

A prudent man, seeth calamity, and hideth himself, but, the simple, pass on, and suffer.

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

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

The rich and the poor, meet together, the maker of them all, is Yahweh.

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

Incline thine ear and hear the words of wise men, then, thy heart, wilt thou apply to my teaching;

A benevolent eye, the same, shall be blessed, - because he hath given of his bread to the poor.

Drive away the scoffer, that strife may depart, and quarrel, and contempt may cease.

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

A deep chasm, is the mouth of strange women, he with whom Yahweh is indignant, falleth there.

Saith the sluggard, A lion outside! Amidst the broadways, shall I be slain.

He that soweth perversity, shall reap trouble, and, the rod of his wrath, shall be ready.

Thorns and snares, are in the way of the perverse, - he that guardeth his soul, shall be far from them.

Yahweh loveth the pure in heart, gracious are his lips, his friend is the king!

That in Yahweh may be thy trust, I have made them known to thee to-day, even to thee.

The eyes of Yahweh, watch over knowledge, therefore hath he overturned the words of the treacherous.

To cause thee to know the meaning of faithful sayings, that thou mayest give back faithful sayings to them who ask thee.

For sweet shall they be, when thou shalt keep them in thine inmost mind, they shall fit well together, upon thy lips.
