Israel, put your hope in the Lord,
both now and forever.

extended my hand and no one paid attention,

But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:

But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it.

My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:

Put all your hope in God, not looking to your reason for support.

Drink water from thy pit, and flowing from the midst of thy well.

But why should you be captivated, my son, by an adulteress, and embrace the bosom of a different woman?

My son, if you have put up security for your neighbor
or entered into an agreement with a stranger,

Do this now, my son, and release yourself [from the obligation];
Since you have come into the hand of your neighbor,
Go humble yourself, and plead with your neighbor [to pay his debt and release you].
