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.

Wilt thou cast thy lot in the midst of us; one purse shall be to all:

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;

To attend to wisdom thou wilt incline thine ear, thy heart to understanding;

For if thou will call to understanding, wilt give thy voice to understanding

If thou wilt seek her as silver, and dig for her as hidden treasure;

Then shalt thou understand the fear of Jehovah, and thou shalt find the knowledge of God.

Then thou shalt understand justice and judgment and uprightness; every good track.

So that thou shalt go in the way of the good, and thou shalt watch the paths of the just

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

Trust to Jehovah with all thy heart; and thou shalt not lean to thine understanding.

Thou shalt not be wise in thine eyes: fear Jehovah and depart from evil.

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

Then shalt thou go thy way confidently, and thy foot shall not stumble.

If thou shalt lie down thou shalt not be afraid: and thou liest down and thy sleep shall be sweet

Thou shalt not be afraid from sudden terror, and from the destruction of the unjust when it shall come.

Thou shalt not withhold good from those possessing it in its being to the power of thy hand to do.

Thou shalt not say to thy neighbor, Go, and turn back, and to-morrow I will give; and there is with thee.

Thou shalt not forsake her, and she will watch thee: love her, and she will guard thee.

Lift her up and she shall exalt thee: she will honor thee when thou. shalt embrace her.

In thy going, thy steps shall not be pressed; and if thou shalt run thou shalt not be weak.

Lay hold upon instruction, thou shalt not let go: guard her for she is thy life.

In the path of the unjust thou shalt not go, and thou shalt not advance in the way of the wicked.

Reject it, thou shalt not pass in it; turn aside from it and pass by.

Thou shalt not decline to the right and the left: turn away thy foot from evil

Lest thou shalt make level the path of life, her tracks wavered; thou wilt not know.

Remove far off from her thy way, and thou shalt not draw near to the door of her house:

Lest thou shalt give thy strength to others, and thy years to the cruel:

And thou didst lament in thy latter state, in the consuming of thy flesh and thy fulness,

And thou saidst, How did I hate instruction, and my heart despise reproofs

The hind of loves and the wild goat of grace; her breasts shall satiate thee in all time; thou shalt always wander in her loves.

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;

Thou wert snared with the sayings of thy mouth, thou wert taken with the sayings of thy mouth.

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

Thou shalt not give sleep to thine eyes, and slumber to thine eyelashes.

Go to the ant, thou slothful one; see her ways, and be wise:

How long, O slothful one, wilt thou lie down? when wilt thou rise from thy sleep?

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

Thou shalt not desire her beauty in thy heart, and she shall not take thee with her eyelashes.

He will not lift up the face of any ransom, and he will not be willing if thou shalt increase the reward.

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

Say to wisdom, Thou my sister; and thou shalt call knowledge to understanding:

And thy heart shall not deviate to her ways; thou shalt not wander in her beaten paths.

Thou shalt not reprove him mocking, lest he shall hate thee: reprove to the wise one and he will love thee.

Thou shalt give to the wise one and he will be more wise: make known to the just one and he will add receiving.

If thou wert wise, thou wert wise for thyself: and thou mockedst, thou alone shalt suffer.

Go from before to the foolish man and thou knewest not the lips of knowledge.

The stern in wrath lifted up a fine: for if thou shalt deliver and thou shalt yet add.

Hear counsel and receive instruction, so that thou shalt be wise in thy latter state.

Thou shalt strike him mocking, and the simple will be crafty: and reprove to him understanding, and he will understand knowledge.

Thou shalt not love sleep lest thou shalt be dispossessed: open wide thine eyes, being filled with bread.

Lest thou shalt learn his ways and take a snare to thy soul.

Thou shalt not be with those striking the hand with those pledging for debts.

Thou shalt not remove the old bound which thy fathers made.

Sawest thou a man apt in his works? Before kings shall he stand; he shall not stand before the dark ones

If thou shalt sit to eat with a ruler, understanding, thou shalt understand what is before thee.

And put a knife to thy swallow if thou the possessor of a soul.

Thou shalt not long for his dainties: and it is the bread of lies.

Thou shalt not labor to become rich: cease from thy wisdom.

Wilt thou cause thine eyes to fly upon it and it is not? for making, it will make to it wings; as an eagle and it flew to the heavens.

Thou shalt not eat the bread of an evil eye, and ye shall not long for its dainties:

Thy morsel which thou didst eat thou shalt vomit forth and destroy thy pleasant words.

In the ears of the foolish thou shalt not speak, for he will despise for the understanding of thy words.

Thou shalt not remove the old bound; and into the field of the orphans thou shalt not come:

Thou shalt not withhold instruction from youth: if thou shalt strike him with a rod he shall not die.

Thou shalt strike him with the rod, and thou shalt deliver his soul from hades.

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

Thou shalt not be with those drinking wine to excess, and with squanderers of flesh to them:

Hear to thy father that begat thee, and thou shalt not despise thy mother when growing old.

Buy the truth, and thou shalt not sell wisdom and instruction and understanding.

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

Thou shalt not look upon wine when it shall be red, when it shall give its eye in the cup, it will go about in uprightnesses.

And thou wert as he lying down in the heart of the sea, and as he lying down upon the head of the mast

Thou shalt not envy against men of evil, thou shalt not desire to be with them.

For by guidance thou shalt make to thee war, and in the multitude of counselors salvation.

Wilt thou be discouraged in the day of straits thy strength is narrow.

If thou shalt refrain to deliver those being brought to death, and those going to be slain;

If thou shalt say, Behold, we knew not this; will not he trying hearts, understand? and he guarding thy soul, knew? and he turned back to man according to his work.

So the knowledge of wisdom to thy soul if thou shalt find: and there is a latter state and thine expectation shall not be cut off.

Thou shalt not lay wait, O wicked one, against the dwelling of the just one; thou shalt not destroy his resting place:

In the falling of thine enemies thou shalt not rejoice, and in his stumbling thy heart shall not exult:

Thou shalt not be angry against the evil; thou shalt not envy against the unjust:

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

He saying to the unjust, Thou art just; peoples shall curse him, and nations shall curse him:

Thou shalt not be a witness gratuitously against thy neighbor, and deceive not with thy lips.

Thou shalt not say, According to what he did to me, thus will I do to him: I will turn back to the man according to his work.

Thou shalt not show thyself proud before the king, and thou shalt not stand in the place of the great.
