Let the wise listen and increase their learning; let the person of understanding receive guidance

My son, listen to your father's instruction, and do not let go of your mother's teaching.

If they say, "Come with us! Let's lie in wait for blood; let's ambush some innocent person for no reason at all.

Let's swallow them alive like Sheol, and whole like those who go down into the Pit.

Do not let gracious love and truth leave you. Bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart,

My son, do not let wisdom leave your sight. Carefully observe sound judgment and discernment,

he taught me and told me, "Let your heart fully embrace what I have to say; keep my commandments and live!

Hold on to instruction, do not let it go! Guard wisdom, because she is your life!

Do not let them out of your sight; keep them within your heart.

Let your eyes look directly ahead; fix your gaze straight in front of you.

Let your fountain be blessed and enjoy the wife of your youth.

Like a loving deer, a beautiful doe, let her breasts satisfy you all the time. Be constantly intoxicated by her love.

Come, let's make love until dawn; let's comfort ourselves with love,

"Let whoever is naive, turn in here." To anyone lacking sense, she says,

Never let yourself envy sinners; instead, remain in fear of the LORD every day,

Let your father and mother rejoice; make the one who gave birth to you happy.

Don't rejoice when your enemy falls; don't let yourself be glad when he stumbles.

Let someone else praise you, not your own mouth; a stranger, and never your own lips.

A guilty man tormented by bloodshed will be a lifelong fugitive; let no one support him.

Let him drink, forget his poverty, and remember his troubles no more.

Reward her for her work let her actions result in public praise.
