Trust in Jehovah with all your heart, and lean not to your own understanding.

Honor Jehovah with your substance, and with the firstfruits of all your increase;

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

In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.

Blessed is the man who finds wisdom, and the man who gets understanding.

Healing shall be to your navel and marrow to your bones.

for whom Jehovah loves He corrects, even as a father corrects the son in whom he delights.

and your barns shall be filled with plenty, and your presses shall burst with new wine.

Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.

she is more precious than rubies; and all the things you can desire are not to be compared with her.

My son, do not let them depart from your eyes; keep sound wisdom and judgment,

Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand, riches and honor.

For the profit from it is better than the gain from silver, and its produce more than fine gold;

She is a tree of life to those who lay hold upon her; and happy is everyone who keeps her.

for they shall add length of days, and long life, and peace to you.

Do not envy the cruel man, and choose none of his ways.

Do not be afraid of sudden fear, nor of the destroying of the wicked, when it comes.

By His knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew.

then you shall walk in your way safely, and your foot shall not stumble.

For Jehovah shall be your hope, and shall keep your foot from being taken.

When you lie down, you shall not be afraid; yea, you shall lie down, and your sleep shall be sweet.

and they shall be life to your soul and grace to your neck;

Do not strive with a man without cause, if he has done you no harm.

Do not say to your neighbor, Go and come back again, and tomorrow I will give; when you have it beside you:

Surely He scorns the scorners; but He gives grace to the lowly.

Do not plan evil against your neighbor, since he dwells trustingly by you.

The curse of Jehovah is in the house of the wicked; but He blesses the home of the just.

My son, do not despise the chastening of Jehovah; nor be weary with His correction;

Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in the power of your hand to do it.

Let not mercy and truth forsake you; tie them around your neck; write them upon the tablet of your heart;

Jehovah has founded the earth by wisdom; by understanding He has founded the heavens.

Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear Jehovah and depart from evil.

and you shall find favor and good understanding in the sight of God and man.

For the crooked man is hateful to Jehovah, but His secret is with the righteous.

The wise shall inherit glory; but shame shall be the promotion of fools.
