Incline thine ear and hear the words of the wise, and thou shalt set thy heart to my knowledge.

For thy trust to be in Jehovah, I caused thee to know to-day, thee also.

Did I not write to thee three days ago in counsels and knowledge?

To cause thee to know the truth of the words of truth; to turn back the words of truth to those sending thee?

For Jehovah will contend their contention, and rob the soul to those robbing them.

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

If not to thee to requite, why shall he take thy bed from under thee?

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 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.

Like him estimating evil in his soul, so is he: Eat and drink, he will say to thee; and his heart not with thee.

Bring thy heart to instruction, and thine ears to the words of knowledge.

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

Thy heart shall not envy against those sinning: but be in the fear of Jehovah all the day.

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.

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

To whom wo? to whom want? to whom strife? to whom complaint? to whom wounds gratuitously? to whom dark fleshings of the eyes?

To those remaining at the wine; to those going to seek mixed wine.

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.

High things to the foolish is wisdom: in the gate he will not open his mouth.

He purposing to do evil for himself shall be called the master of mischief.

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

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.

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

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.

For there shall be no latter state to the evil one: the light of the unjust shall be extinguished.

For suddenly shall their calamity rise, and who shall make known the misfortune of them two?

Also these to the wise. To look upon the face in judgment is not good.

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

And it shall be pleasant to those reproving, and a blessing of good shall come upon them.

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.

A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to lie down:

The glory of God to conceal the word: and the glory of kings to search the word.

For good to say to thee, Come up hither, rather than humbling thyself before the noble whom thine eye saw.

Thou shalt not go forth hastily to strive, lest what thou shalt do in its latter state in thy neighbor putting thee to shame.

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.

In slowness to anger shall the prince be persuaded, and the soft tongue shall break the bones.

A bad tooth and a wavering foot, the confidence of the faithless one in the day of straits

He removing a covering in the day of cold, and vinegar upon nitre, and he singing in songs to an evil heart.

If thine enemy hunger, give him bread to eat; and if he thirst, give him water to drink:

For thou tookest up coals of fire upon his head, and Jehovah will recompense to thee.

Good to dwell upon a corner of the roof rather than with a woman of strifes and a house of community.

Cold waters to the fainting soul, and a good message from a land far off.

To eat much honey is not good: and to seek out their honor, not honor.

A city being broken down, and not a wall, a man who restrains not to his spirit.

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

Thou shalt not answer the foolish according to his folly lest thou shalt be like to him.

Answer the foolish according to his folly lest he shall be wise in his own eyes.

As a bundle of stones in a heap of stones, so he giving honor to the foolish one.

The slothful one hid his hand in the dish; he was weary to turn it back to his mouth.

Laying hold upon the ears of a dog, he passing by overflowing upon strife not to him.

As charcoal to burning coals and woods to fire, and a man of strifes to kindle strife.

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

Thou shalt not boast upon the day of the morrow, for thou shalt not know what a day shall bring forth.

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

The full soul will tread down the honey droppings, and to the hungry soul all bitter is sweet

Thy friend and thy father's friend thou shalt not forsake; and thou shalt not go to thy brother's house in the day of thy calamity: good he dwelling near, more than a brother far off.

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

He blessing his friend with a great voice, rising early in the morning, a curse shall be reckoned to him.

A dropping thrust forth in the day of rain and a woman of strifes were alike.

As in water, face to face, so the heart of man to man.

The crucible for silver, and the furnace for gold, and a man to the mouth praising him.

Knowing, thou shalt know the face of thy flock; set thy heart to thy herds.

For not strength forever, and not consecration to generation and generation.

In the transgression of a land many its chiefs: and by a man understanding to know, the place shall be extended.

He causing the upright to wander in an evil way, into his pit shall he fall: and the good shall inherit complete things.

He terrifying violence upon the blood of a soul shall flee even to the pit; none shall hold fast upon him.

A man of faithfulness multiplied blessings: and he hesting to be rich shall not be innocent

To look upon faces is not good and for a morsel of bread the man will transgress.

He stripping his father and his mother, and saying, No transgression; is companion to a man destroying.

He giving to the poor wants not: and he hiding his eyes increased curses.

A ruler listening to the word of falsehood, all serving him are unjust

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

Thou sawest a man hasty in his words: hope to the foolish one more than to him.

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

For I am brutish more than man, and not the understanding of a man to me.

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?

All the word of God is purified: he a shield to those trusting in him.

Thou shalt not add to his words lest he reprove in thee, and thou wert false.

Two things I asked from thee, thou wilt not withhold from me before I shall die:

Vanity and the word of falsehood remove far from me; thou wilt not give to me poverty and riches; feed me with bread of my allowance:

Thou shalt not slander the servant to his lord lest he shall curse thee, and thou wert guilty.

A generation, its teeth swords, and its biter's teeth, knives, to devour the poor from the land, and the needy from man.

To the leech two daughters: Give, give. Behold, three shall not satisfied; four shall not say, Wealth:

The eye shall mock to his father, and despise to obey the mother, the ravens of the valley shall bore it out and the sons of the eagle shall eat it

For three the earth was moved, and for four, which it shall not be able to lift up:

For a hated woman when she shall be married and a maid when she shall inherit to her mistress.

To the locust no king, and it will go forth divided all of them;

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

If thou wert foolish in lifting up thyself, and if thou purposed, the hand to the mouth.

Thou shalt not give thy strength to women, and thy ways to the destroying of kings.

Not for kings, O Lemuel, not for kings to drink and for princes the desire of strong drink:

Ye shall give strong drink to him perishing, and wine to the bitter of soul

She will rise while yet night, and she will give food to her house, and a portion to her girls.

She spread forth her hands to the poor, and sent forth her hands to the needy.
