Wisdom in an out-place crieth aloud, In broad places she giveth forth her voice,

For Jehovah giveth wisdom, From His mouth knowledge and understanding.

She giveth to thy head a wreath of grace, A crown of beauty she doth give thee freely.

And being found he repayeth sevenfold, All the substance of his house he giveth.

Whoso is winking the eye giveth grief, And a talkative fool kicketh.

The wicked hath desired the net of evil doers, And the root of the righteous giveth.

Good understanding giveth grace, And the way of the treacherous is hard.

The simple giveth credence to everything, And the prudent attendeth to his step.

All the day desiring he hath desired, And the righteous giveth and withholdeth not.

See not wine when it showeth itself red, When it giveth in the cup its colour, It goeth up and down through the upright.

For coals thou art putting on his head, And Jehovah giveth recompense to thee.

Chastise thy son, and he giveth thee comfort, Yea, he giveth delights to thy soul.

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