The wise one will hear and he will add learning: and he understanding, shall obtain guidance:

To understand a proverb, and an enigma: the words of the wise and their parables.

My son, if they sinning shall entice thee, thou shalt not go in.

If they shall say, Go with us, we will lie in wait for blood, we will hide for the innocent gratuitously;

Wilt thou cast thy lot in the midst of us; one purse shall be to all:

My son, thou shalt not go in the way with them; withhold thy foot from their beaten paths:

For gratuitously the net was spread in the eyes of all possessing a wing.

And they will lie in wait for their blood; they will hide for their souls.

So the ways of every one plundering plunder; he will take the soul of those possessing it.

Wisdom will cry without; in the broad places she will give her voice:

She will call in the head of sound, in the entrances of the gates: in the city she will say her words:

Also I will laugh at your ruin: I will deride in the coming of your terror;

In your terror coming as a destroying tempest, and your ruin shall come as a whirlwind; in the coming upon you of straits and distress.

And he hearing to me shall dwell in confidence, and being quiet from fear of evil.

He treasured up deliverance for the upright: a shield to those going in uprightness:

Those forsaking the paths of straightness to go in the ways of darkness;

Those rejoicing to do evil will exult in the deceit of evil;

Whose paths are perverted, and in their tracks are bent aside:

All going in it shall not turn back, and they shall not overtake the paths of life.

So that thou shalt go in the way of the good, and thou shalt watch the paths of the just

For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the blameless shall remain in it

And find grace and good understanding in the eyes of God and man.

In all thy ways know him, and he will make straight thy paths.

Thou shalt not be wise in thine eyes: fear Jehovah and depart from evil.

And thy storehouses shall be filled with abundance, and thy wine-vats shall break forth with new wine.

For whom Jehovah shall love he will rebuke, as a father the son he will delight in.

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

Thou shalt not be afraid from sudden terror, and from the destruction of the unjust when it shall come.

For Jehovah shall be in thy confidence, and he watched thy foot from being taken.

Thou shalt not withhold good from those possessing it in its being to the power of thy hand to do.

Thou shalt not envy against a man of violence, and thou shalt choose in all his ways.

For the perverse is an abomination of Jehovah: and his intercourse with the upright

The curse of Jehovah is in the house of the unjust one: and he will bless the dwelling of the just

Lift her up and she shall exalt thee: she will honor thee when thou. shalt embrace her.

In the way of wisdom I taught thee; I caused thee to tread in the tracks of uprightness

In thy going, thy steps shall not be pressed; and if thou shalt run thou shalt not be weak.

In the path of the unjust thou shalt not go, and thou shalt not advance in the way of the wicked.

Reject it, thou shalt not pass in it; turn aside from it and pass by.

For they ate the bread of injustice, and they will drink the wine of violences:

The way of the unjust as darkness: they shall not know in what they shall stumble.

They shall not turn aside from thine eyes; watch them in the midst of thy heart

Lest strangers shall be filled with thy strength, and thy labors in the house of strangers;

And thou didst lament in thy latter state, in the consuming of thy flesh and thy fulness,

As I was almost in all evil in the midst of the convocation and the assembly.

Thy fountains shall be dispersed without; in the broad places streams of waters.

The hind of loves and the wild goat of grace; her breasts shall satiate thee in all time; thou shalt always wander in her loves.

His iniquities shall take the unjust one, and with the cords of his sins shall he be held fast.

He shall die in not being instructed, and he shall wander in the multitude of his folly.

Do this now, my son, and deliver thyself when thou camest into the hand of thy friend; go humble thyself and enlarge thy friend.

Go to the ant, thou slothful one; see her ways, and be wise:

She will prepare in summer her bread, gathering her food in harvest.

How long, O slothful one, wilt thou lie down? when wilt thou rise from thy sleep?

Perverseness in his heart, fabricating evil in all time, he will send forth strifes.

For this, his destruction shall come suddenly; in a moment he shall be broken, and none healing.

These six Jehovah hated, and seven an abomination of his soul:

In thy going about it shall lead thee; in thy lying down it shall watch over thee; and awaking, it shall speak to thee.

Thou shalt not desire her beauty in thy heart, and she shall not take thee with her eyelashes.

A man taking fire in his bosom, shall his garments not be burnt?

So he going in to his neighbor's wife; all touching upon her shall not be innocent

For jealousy is the wrath of man, and he will not spare in the day of vengeance.

For in the window of my house I looked forth through my lattice,

Passing in the street near her corner; and he will step the way of her house,

In the twilight, in the evening of the day, in the middle of the night, in the thick darkness:

She being noisy and perverse; her feet will not dwell in her house:

One time without, one time in the broad ways; and she will lie in wait near every corner.

For the man not in the house, he went in a way far off.

He took a bundle of silver in his hand; he will come to his house the day of the full moon.

Till an arrow shall cleave his liver; as a bird hastening to the snare, and not knowing that it is for his soul.

And thy heart shall not deviate to her ways; thou shalt not wander in her beaten paths.

At the hand of the gates, at the mouth of the city from the coming in of the doors she will cry:

In justice are all the sayings of my mouth; nothing in them crooked and perverse.

I shall go in the way of justice, in the midst of the beaten paths of judgment:

In no depths was I begun; in no fountains abundant in waters.

In his preparing the heavens I was there: in his inscribing a circle upon the face of the deep:

In his making firm the clouds from above: in his strengthening the fountains of the deep:

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:

And I shall be near him the builder, and I shall be a delight of day, day, smiling before him in all time

Smiling in the habitable globe of his earth; and my delight with the sons of man.

She slaughtered her slaughter; she mingled her wine; also she prepared her table.

Come ye, eat of my bread, and drink ye of the wine I mingled.

Forsake ye the foolish, and live; and go straight in the way of understanding.

He instructing him mocking received to himself dishonor: and he reproving to the unjust one, his blemish.

Thou shalt not reprove him mocking, lest he shall hate thee: reprove to the wise one and he will love thee.

Thou shalt give to the wise one and he will be more wise: make known to the just one and he will add receiving.

For in me thy days shall be multiplied, and years of life shall be added to thee.

And he knew not that there the shades; her called ones in the depths of hades

Jehovah will not cause the soul of the just one to hunger: and he will thrust away the desire of the unjust

He gathering in summer, is a prudent son: he lying in deep sleep in harvest, a son causing shame.

Blessings upon the head of the just one: and violence shall cover the mouth of the unjust

The memory of the just one for blessing: and the name of the wicked shall be rotten.

He going in integrity shall go confidently: and he perverting his ways shall be known.

A fountain of life the mouth of the just one: and violence shall cover the mouth of the unjust

In the lips of him understanding, wisdom shall be found: and a rod for the back of him wanting heart

The labors of the just one, to life: the increase of the unjust to sin.

In the multitude of words transgression shall not cease: and he withholding his lips is prudent

The lips of the just one shall feed many: and fools in wanting heart, shall die.

As laughter to the foolish one, to do mischief: and wisdom is to the man of understanding.

The fear of the unjust one it shall come to him: and the desire of the just shall be given.

As the whirlwind passing away the unjust one is not: and the just one a foundation forever.

As vinegar to the teeth and as smoke to the eyes, so is the slothful one to those sending him.
