My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother:

If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause:

And they lay wait for their own blood; they lurk privily for their own lives.

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

She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her.

When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: but thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.

For I give you good doctrine, forsake ye not my law.

My son, keep thy father's commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother:

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

My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee.

Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thy eye.

Wise men lay up knowledge: but the mouth of the foolish is near destruction.

The words of the wicked are to lie in wait for blood: but the mouth of the upright shall deliver them.

The law of the wise is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.

A faithful witness will not lie: but a false witness will utter lies.

Lay not wait, O wicked man, against the dwelling of the righteous; destroy not his resting-place:

And lo, it was all grown over with thorns, and nettles had covered the face of it, and its stone wall was broken down.

They that forsake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep the law contend with them.

He who keepeth the law is a wise son: but he that is a companion of riotous men shameth his father.

He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination.

Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.

A man's pride shall bring him low: but honor shall uphold the humble in spirit.

If thou hast done foolishly in lifting up thyself, or if thou hast thought evil, lay thy hand upon thy mouth.

Lest they drink, and forget the law, and pervert the judgment of any of the afflicted.

She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and on her tongue is the law of kindness.
