For they a garland of grace to thy head, and necklaces for thy throat

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

If they shall say, Go with us, we will lie in wait for blood, we will hide for the innocent gratuitously;

We will swallow them down living, as hades, and whole, as they going down to the pit:

For their feet will run to evil, and they will hasten to pour out blood:

And they will lie in wait for their blood; they will hide for their souls.

Then they shall call upon me, and I will not answer; they shall seek me, and shall not find me;

For that they hated knowledge, and chose not the fear of Jehovah:

They desired not for my counsels: and derided all my reproofs.

And they shall eat from the fruit of their way, and be filled with their purposes

All going in it shall not turn back, and they shall not overtake the paths of life.

And the unjust shall be cut off from the land, and they transgressing shall be wiped off from it.

For length of days and years of life, and peace they shall add to thee.

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

And they shall be life to thy soul, and grace to thy throat

For they slept not, if they shall not do evil; and their sleep was taken away, if they shall not cause to falter.

For they ate the bread of injustice, and they will drink the wine of violences:

The way of the unjust as darkness: they shall not know in what they shall stumble.

They shall not turn aside from thine eyes; watch them in the midst of thy heart

For they are life to those finding them, and healing to all their flesh.

They shall be to thee alone, and not strangers with thee.

They will not despise a thief if he shall steal to fill up his soul; for he will be hungry.

I loved those loving me: and they seeking me shall find me.

The unjust are overthrown, and they are not: and the house of the just shall stand.

Lips of falsehood an abomination of Jehovah: and they doing faithfulness his delight

Shall they not go astray, seeking evil? and mercy, and truth to those seeking good.

He justifying the unjust one and he condemning the just one, is an abomination to Jehovah, also they two.

The words of the tale-bearer as dainty morsels, and they will go down to the chambers of the belly.

Death and life in the hand of the tongue: and they loving it shall eat its fruit

All the brethren of the poor hated him: how much more his friends removed far from him? pursuing words they are not

A stone and stone, an ephah and ephah, an abomination of Jehovah, also they two.

The violence of the unjust shall sweep them away, for they refuse to do judgment

For pleasant things if thou shalt watch them in thy belly; they shall be prepared together for thy lips.

They struck me, I was not pained; they beat me, I knew not: when shall I awake? I will add, I will yet seek it.

The words of a tale-bearer as dainty morsels, and they will go down to the chambers of the belly.

A stone is heavy and sand a burden, and the wrath of the foolish one heavy more than they two.

They forsaking the law will praise the unjust: and they watching the law, shall contend with them.

Men of evil shall not understand judgment: and they seeking Jehovah shall understand all.

They three were wonderful above me; and four, I knew them not:

They four the small of the earth, and they are wise, being made wise:

The ants a people not strong, and they will prepare their bread in the summer;

The rabbits a people not strong, and they will set their house in the rock;

They three making good the step, and four, making good to go:

Her sons rose up and they will call her happy; her husband, and he will praise her.
