Proverbs of Solomon, son of David, king of Israel;

My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and thou shalt not reject the law of thy mother:

My son, if they sinning shall entice thee, thou shalt not go in.

My son, thou shalt not go in the way with them; withhold thy foot from their beaten paths:

My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and wilt hide my commands with thee;

My son, thou shalt not forget my law, and thy heart shall guard my commands:

My son, thou shalt not reject the instruction of Jehovah, and thou shalt not loathe upon his reproofs:

For whom Jehovah shall love he will rebuke, as a father the son he will delight in.

My son, they shall not depart from thine eyes: keep counsel and meditation:

For I was son to my father; tender and only before the face of my mother.

Hear, my son, and receive my words, and the years of life shall be multiplied to thee.

My son, attend to my word; incline thine ear to my sayings.

My son, attend to my wisdom; incline thine ear to understanding:

And wherefore, my son, wilt thou wander with a strange woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger?

My son, if thou becamest surety for thy friend, thou didst strike thy hands for a stranger;

Do this now, my son, and deliver thyself when thou camest into the hand of thy friend; go humble thyself and enlarge thy friend.

My son, watch the commands of thy father, and thou shalt not reject the laws of thy mother:

My son, watch my words, and thou shalt hide my commands with thee.

Proverbs of Solomon. A wise son will gladden a father: and a son of the foolish will grieve his mother.

He gathering in summer, is a prudent son: he lying in deep sleep in harvest, a son causing shame.

The labors of the just one, to life: the increase of the unjust to sin.

A ring of gold in the nose of a swine, a fair woman and she departed from discernment

A wise son the instruction of a father: and he. mocking heard not reproof.

He withholding his rod hates his son: and he loving him, sought correction for him.

Justice will exalt a nation: and sin a reproach to nations.

A wise son will gladden the father: and the foolish man despised his mother.

An understanding servant shall rule a son causing shame, and shall divide the inheritance in the midst of the brethren.

A foolish son a grief to his father, and bitterness to her bringing him forth.

A foolish son a calamity to his father: and the strifes of a woman a dropping thrust out

Correct thy son when there is hope, and thy soul shall not lift up for his sighing.

He oppressing the father and putting the mother to flight, is a son causing shame and causing disgrace.

Cease, my son, to hear instructions for erring from the words of knowledge.

Who shall say, I cleansed my heart; I was pure from my sin?

Lifting up the eyes and enlarging the heart, the light of the unjust is sin.

My son, if thy heart be wise, my heart shall rejoice, even mine.

Hear thou, my son, and be wise, and guide thy heart right in the way.

My son, thou shalt give thy heart to me, and thine eyes shall delight in my way.

The purpose of folly is sin, and he mocking, an abomination to man.

My son, eat honey, for it is good; and the dropping of honey being sweet to thy palate.

My son, fear thou Jehovah and the king: thou shalt not intermingle with those changing:

As the cold of snow in the day of harvest a faithful messenger to those sending him: he shall restore the soul of his lord.

As snow in summer and as rain in harvest., so honor not becoming to the foolish one.

My son, be wise and gladden my heart, and I will turn back word to him reproaching me.

The grass was uncovered and the young herbage was seen; and the green plants of the mountains were gathered.

He watching the law a son understanding: and the companion of squanderers will shame his father.

Correct thy son and he shall cause thee to rest, and he shall give delight to thy soul.

The words of Agur, son of Jakeh: the lifting up: the declaration of the man to Ithiel; to Ithiel and Ucal:

Who went up to the heavens, and came down? who gathered the wind in his fists? who bound the waters in a garment? who set up all the ends of the earth? what his name and what his son's name, if thou shalt know?

What, my son? and what the son of my womb? and what the son of my vows?

She will not fear for her house from snow, for all her house put on double.
