To make the simple-minded sharp, and to give the young man knowledge, and serious purpose:

My son, give ear to the training of your father, and do not give up the teaching of your mother:

Then I will give no answer to their cries; searching for me early, they will not see me:

For they were haters of knowledge, and did not give their hearts to the fear of the Lord:

But whoever gives ear to me will take his rest safely, living in peace without fear of evil.

So that your ear gives attention to wisdom, and your heart is turned to knowledge;

For the Lord gives wisdom; out of his mouth come knowledge and reason:

Who give up the way of righteousness, to go by dark roads;

For they will give you increase of days, years of life, and peace.

In all your ways give ear to him, and he will make straight your footsteps.

This will give strength to your flesh, and new life to your bones.

Give honour to the Lord with your wealth, and with the first-fruits of all your increase:

Say not to your neighbour, Go, and come again, and tomorrow I will give; when you have it by you at the time.

He makes sport of the men of pride, but he gives grace to the gentle-hearted.

Give ear, my sons, to the teaching of a father; give attention so that you may have knowledge:

For I give you good teaching; do not give up the knowledge you are getting from me.

Do not give her up, and she will keep you; give her your love, and she will make you safe.

The first sign of wisdom is to get wisdom; go, give all you have to get true knowledge.

Put her in a high place, and you will be lifted up by her; she will give you honour, when you give her your love.

Give ear, O my son, and let your heart be open to my sayings; and long life will be yours.

I have given you teaching in the way of wisdom, guiding your steps in the straight way.

My son, give attention to my words; let your ear be turned to my sayings.

My son, give attention to my wisdom; let your ear be turned to my teaching:

Give ear to me then, my sons, and do not put away my words from you.

For fear that you may give your honour to others, and your wealth to strange men:

I did not give attention to the voice of my teachers, my ear was not turned to those who were guiding me!

As a loving hind and a gentle doe, let her breasts ever give you rapture; let your passion at all times be moved by her love.

My son, if you have made yourself responsible for your neighbour, or given your word for another,

Give no sleep to your eyes, or rest to them;

Go to the ant, you hater of work; give thought to her ways and be wise:

But if he is taken in the act he will have to give back seven times as much, giving up all his property which is in his house.

So now, my sons, give ear to me; give attention to the sayings of my mouth;

Give ear, for my words are true, and my lips are open to give out what is upright.

Through me kings have their power, and rulers give right decisions.

Those who have given me their love are loved by me, and those who make search for me with care will get me.

So that I may give my lovers wealth for their heritage, making their store-houses full.

From eternal days I was given my place, from the birth of time, before the earth was.

When there was no deep I was given birth, when there were no fountains flowing with water.

Give ear to me then, my sons: for happy are those who keep my ways.

Happy is the man who gives ear to me, watching at my doors day by day, keeping his place by the pillars of my house.

Give up the simple ones and have life, and go in the way of knowledge.

He who gives teaching to a man of pride gets shame for himself; he who says sharp words to a sinner gets a bad name.

Give teaching to a wise man, and he will become wiser; give training to an upright man, and his learning will be increased.

The fear of the Lord is the start of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One gives a wise mind

Wealth which comes from sin is of no profit, but righteousness gives salvation from death.

The work of the upright gives life: the increase of the evil-doer is a cause of sin.

He who takes note of teaching is a way of life, but he who gives up training is a cause of error.

The lips of the upright man give food to men, but the foolish come to death for need of sense.

The blessing of the Lord gives wealth: hard work makes it no greater.

The fear of the Lord gives long life, but the years of the evil-doer will be cut short.

The hope of the upright man will give joy, but the waiting of the evil-doer will have its end in sorrow.

So righteousness gives life; but he who goes after evil gets death for himself.

A man may give freely, and still his wealth will be increased; and another may keep back more than is right, but only comes to be in need.

He who gives blessing will be made fat, but the curser will himself be cursed.

The way of the foolish man seems right to him? but the wise man gives ear to suggestions.

The breathing out of true words gives knowledge of righteousness; but a false witness gives out deceit.

A man will give his wealth in exchange for his life; but the poor will not give ear to sharp words.

A man taking false news is a cause of trouble, but he who gives news rightly makes things well.

To get one's desire is sweet to the soul, but to give up evil is disgusting to the foolish.

He who keeps back his rod is unkind to his son: the loving father gives punishment with care.

He who goes on his way in righteousness has before him the fear of the Lord; but he whose ways are twisted gives him no honour.

The simple man has faith in every word, but the man of good sense gives thought to his footsteps.

He who is slow to be angry has great good sense; but he whose spirit is over-quick gives support to what is foolish.

He who is hard on the poor puts shame on his Maker; but he who has mercy on those who are in need gives him honour.

The heart of the upright gives thought to his answer; but from the mouth of the evil-doer comes a stream of evil things.

He who will not be controlled by training has no respect for his soul, but he who gives ear to teaching will get wisdom.

The wrath of the king is like those who give news of death, but a wise man will put peace in place of it.

He who gives attention to the law of right will get good; and whoever puts his faith in the Lord is happy.

The heart of the wise man is the teacher of his mouth, and gives increased learning to his lips.

A wrongdoer gives attention to evil lips, and a man of deceit gives ear to a damaging tongue.

If anyone gives back evil for good, evil will never go away from his house.

The start of fighting is like the letting out of water: so give up before it comes to blows.

He who gives a decision for the evil-doer and he who gives a decision against the upright, are equally disgusting to the Lord.

A man without sense gives his hand in an agreement, and makes himself responsible before his neighbour.

To give punishment to the upright is not good, or to give blows to the noble for their righteousness.

To have respect for the person of the evil-doer is not good, or to give a wrong decision against the upright.

He who does not give his mind to his work is brother to him who makes destruction.

To give an answer before hearing is a foolish thing and a cause of shame.

The poor man makes requests for grace, but the man of wealth gives a rough answer.

Great numbers will make attempts to get the approval of a ruler: and every man is the special friend of him who has something to give.

He who has pity on the poor gives to the Lord, and the Lord will give him his reward.

Give your son training while there is hope; let not your heart be purposing his death.

The fear of the Lord gives life: and he who has it will have need of nothing; no evil will come his way.

A son who no longer gives attention to teaching is turned away from the words of knowledge.

Take a man's clothing if he makes himself responsible for a strange man, and get an undertaking from him who gives his word for strange men.

He who goes about talking of the business of others gives away secrets: so have nothing to do with him whose lips are open wide.

Do not say, I will give punishment for evil: go on waiting for the Lord, and he will be your saviour.

The evil-doer will be given as a price for the life of the good man, and the worker of deceit in the place of the upright.

All the day the sinner goes after his desire: but the upright man gives freely, keeping nothing back.

The offering of evil-doers is disgusting: how much more when they give it with an evil purpose!

The evil-doer makes his face hard, but as for the upright, he gives thought to his way.

He who is kind will have a blessing, for he gives of his bread to the poor.

He who is cruel to the poor for the purpose of increasing his profit, and he who gives to the man of wealth, will only come to be in need.

Let your ear be bent down for hearing my words, and let your heart give thought to knowledge.

To make you see how certain are true words, so that you may give a true answer to those who put questions to you?

For the Lord will give support to their cause, and take the life of those who take their goods.

Do not be friends with a man who is given to wrath; do not go in the company of an angry man:

Be not one of those who give their hands in an agreement, or of those who make themselves responsible for debts:

When you take your seat at the feast with a ruler, give thought with care to what is before you;

Give your heart to teaching, and your ears to the words of knowledge.
