My son! go not in the way with them, Withhold thy foot from their path,

For their feet to evil do run, And they haste to shed blood.

Then thou goest thy way confidently, And thy foot doth not stumble.

For Jehovah is at thy side, And He hath kept thy foot from capture.

Ponder thou the path of thy feet, And all thy ways are established.

Incline not to the right or to the left, Turn aside thy foot from evil!

Her feet are going down to death, Sheol do her steps take hold of.

And thou hast howled in thy latter end, In the consumption of thy flesh and thy food,

She doth prepare in summer her bread, She hath gathered in harvest her food.

Winking with his eyes, speaking with his feet, Directing with his fingers,

A heart devising thoughts of vanity -- Feet hasting to run to evil --

Doth a man walk on the hot coals, And are his feet not scorched?

Noisy she is, and stubborn, In her house her feet rest not.

A liberal soul is made fat, And whoso is watering, he also is watered.

The soul of the slothful is desiring, and hath not. And the soul of the diligent is made fat.

Abundance of food -- the tillage of the poor, And substance is consumed without judgment.

Without counsel is the making void of purposes, And in a multitude of counsellors it is established.

The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart, A good report maketh fat the bone.

Also, without knowledge the soul is not good, And the hasty in feet is sinning.

Have no desire to his dainties, seeing it is lying food.

Apples of gold in imagery of silver, Is the word spoken at its fit times.

Withdraw thy foot from thy neighbour's house, Lest he be satiated with thee, and have hated thee.

A bad tooth, and a tottering foot, Is the confidence of the treacherous in a day of adversity.

He is cutting off feet, he is drinking injury, Who is sending things by the hand of a fool.

Whoso is proud in soul stirreth up contention, And whoso is trusting on Jehovah is made fat.

The ants are a people not strong, And they prepare in summer their food,

Yea, she riseth while yet night, And giveth food to her household, And a portion to her damsels.
