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.

Greatly shall exult, the father of a righteous man, and, he that begetteth a wise son, shall rejoice in him:

Rejoice shall thy father and thy mother, yea she, shall exult, who bare thee.

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

Its after effect, is that, like a serpent, it biteth, and, like a viper, it doth sting.

So shalt thou become, as one lying down in the heart of the sea, - or as one lying down on the top of the mastgear:

For, a deep chasm, is the unchaste woman, and, a narrow pit, the female unknown;

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

When thou sittest to eat with a ruler, thou shall consider well, what is before thee;

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

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

Yea, she, as for prey, lieth in wait, and, the treacherous among mankind, she causeth to abound.

Who hath woe? Who hath outcry of pain? Who hath contentions? Who hath complaining? Who hath needless wounds? Who hath dullness of eyes?

Truth, buy thou, but do not sell, wisdom, and correction, and understanding.

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.

They who tarry over wine, they who go in to search for mixed wine.

Thine eyes, will see strange women, and, thy heart, will speak perverse things:

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.

Hear, thou, my son, and be wise, and lead forward, in duty, thy heart.

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

Bring, to correction, thy heart, and thine ears, to the sayings of knowledge.

For, the tippler and the glutton, shall come to poverty, and, rags, shall Slumber put on!

And shalt put a knife to thy throat, if, of great appetite, thou art:

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

Thou, with the rod, shalt smite him, and, his soul from hades, shalt thou deliver.

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!

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

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

My son! if thy heart be wise, my heart shall rejoice, even mine.

For, their near of kin, is strong, he, will plead their cause with thee.

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

For surely there is a future, and, thine expectation, shall not be cut off.

So shall my reins exult, when thy lips speak the things that are right.

As for thy morsel thou hast eaten, thou shalt vomit it, so shalt thou waste thy things so sweet.
