My son, guard what I say and treasure my commands.

Listen, because I have noble things to say, and what I have to say will reveal what is right.

In his setting his law to the sea, and the waters shall not pass by his mouth; in his making firm the foundations of the earth:

Evil, evil, he buying will say: and departing to him, and then he will boast

and thou shalt be as he that lieth down in the midst of the sea, and as he that lieth down upon the top of a mast:

They have stricken me, shalt thou say, and I was not sick; they have beaten me, and I felt it not: when shall I awake? I will seek it yet again.

Lest Jehovah see, and it be evil in His eyes, And He hath turned from off him His anger.

Then I beheld, and considered well; I saw, and received instruction:

Like the sparrow [is] to fluttering and like the swallow [is] to flying, so an undeserved curse does not go forth.

The way of an eagle in the air; the way of a serpent upon a rock; the way of a ship in the midst of the sea; and the way of a man with a maid.
