for giving prudence to the naive, and knowledge and discretion to the young.

and I noticed among the naive that is, I discerned among the youths a senseless young man.

She has sent out her young women, while calling out from the heights of the city,

Those who wink their eyes are trouble makers, and the mocking fool will be brought down.

What is this? A fool has enough money to buy wisdom, but is senseless?

The glory of young men is their strength; and the splendor of elders is their gray hair.

Don't exhaust yourself acquiring wealth; be smart enough to stop.

You will have enough goat's milk to drink and to supply your household needs, as well as sustenance for your servant girls.

The leech has two daughters: "Give" and "Give". Three things will never be satisfied; four will never say "Enough" -

The afterlife, the barren womb, earth that still demands water, and fire they never say, "Enough".

The way an eagle flies in the sky, the way of a serpent on a rock, the way of a ship on the high seas, and the way of a man with a young woman.
