Now therefore, my'sons, hearken unto me, And depart not from the words of my mouth.

Do this now, my son, and deliver thyself, Seeing thou art come into the hand of thy neighbor: Go, humble thyself, and importune thy neighbor;

Now she is in the streets, now in the broad places, And lieth in wait at every corner.

Now therefore, my'sons, hearken unto me, And attend to the words of my mouth.

Now therefore, my'sons, hearken unto me; For blessed are they that keep my ways.
