If they say, Come with us, let us lie in wait for blood, we will watch secretly for the innocent without cause;

let us swallow them up alive as the grave, and whole, as those who go down into the pit;

cast in your lot among us, and let us have one purse.

My son, forget not my law; but let your heart keep my commandments;

Let not mercy and truth forsake you; tie them around your neck; write them upon the tablet of your heart;

My son, do not let them depart from your eyes; keep sound wisdom and judgment,

He also taught me, and said to me, Let your heart hold fast my words, keep my commandments and live.

I have taught you in the way of wisdom; I have led you in the right paths.

Take fast hold of instruction; do not let go; keep her; for she is your life.

But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shines more and more to the perfect day.

Let them not depart from your eyes; keep them in the midst of your heart.

Let your eyes look right on, and let your eyelids look straight before you.

Let them be only your own, and not strangers' with you.

Let your fountain be blessed, and rejoice with the wife of your youth.

Like the loving deer and pleasant doe, let her breasts satisfy you at all times, and be ravished always with her love.

When you go, it shall lead you; when you sleep, it shall keep you; and when you awake, it shall talk with you.

For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life;

Do not lust after her beauty in your heart; nor let her take you with her eyelids.

She is loud and stubborn; her feet do not stay in her house;

Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning; let us delight ourselves with caresses.

Do not let your heart turn aside to her ways, do not go astray in her paths.

I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment;

The simple one, let him turn in here. To one lacking heart, she says to him,

The simple one, let him turn in here. And to one lacking heart, she says to him,

The light of the righteous rejoices, but the lamp of the wicked shall be put out.

A good man leaves an inheritance to his sons' sons, and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just.

The light of the eyes rejoices the heart; a good report makes the bones fat.

In the light of the king's face is life, and his favor is like a cloud of the latter rain.

The lot is cast into the lap, but the whole disposing of it is from Jehovah.

Let a bear robbed of her cubs meet a man, rather than a fool in his folly.

The lot causes arguments to cease, and divides between the mighty.

Do not let your heart envy sinners; but be in the fear of Jehovah all the day long.

My son, give Me your heart, and let your eyes watch My ways.

Do not rejoice when your enemy falls, and do not let your heart be glad when he stumbles;

Let another man praise you, and not your mouth; a stranger, and not your lips.

He who blesses his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning, it shall be counted a curse to him.

A man who is pressed down with the blood of a soul shall flee to the pit; do not let them uphold him.

The poor and the deceitful man meet together; Jehovah gives light to the eyes of both.

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

Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates.
