For they are a garland of grace on your head,
And chains and ornaments [of gold] around your neck.

Wisdom is crying out in the street; her voice is loud in the open places;

She calleth before the congregation in the open gates, and showeth her words through the city, saying,

“How long, O naive ones [you who are easily misled], will you love being simple-minded and undiscerning?
How long will scoffers [who ridicule and deride] delight in scoffing,
How long will fools [who obstinately mock truth] hate knowledge?

Turn you at my reproof: Behold, I will pour out my spirit upon you; I will make known my words unto you.

I will also laugh at your calamity; I will mock when panic comes [upon] you.

When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you.

Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:

Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:

Trust in Jehovah with all thy heart, And lean not upon thine own understanding:

so your barns will be filled with abundance, and your vats will burst open with new wine.

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

Upon her righthand is long life, and upon her left hand is riches and honour.

She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her.

With his knowledge, depths broke open, and clouds dropped dew.

Thou shalt not fabricate evil upon thy neighbor, and he dwelling confidently with thee.

She shall give to thy head a garland of grace; a crown of glory will she bestow upon thee.

Give ear, O my son, and let your heart be open to my sayings; and long life will be yours.

When you walk, your steps will not be impeded [for your path will be clear and open];
And when you run, you will not stumble.

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

Upon the path of the lawless, do not thou enter, and do not advance in the way of the wicked:

Let not your springs be flowing in the streets, or your streams of water in the open places.

For every man's ways are open in the sight of the LORD, and he pondereth all their goings.

So shall your poverty come upon you like a vagabond, and your want like an armed man.

Therefore [the crushing weight of] his disaster will come suddenly upon him;
Instantly he will be broken, and there will be no healing or remedy [because he has no heart for God].

Bind them continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck.

For by means of a harlot a man is reduced to a piece of bread: and the adulteress will prey upon his precious life.

Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned?

So he going in to his neighbor's wife; all touching upon her shall not be innocent

For jealousy enrages the [wronged] husband;
He will not spare [the guilty one] on the day of vengeance.

Bind them upon thy fingers, write them upon the table of thine heart.

And behold, there met him a woman with open tokens of a harlot. Only her heart was hid.

Now she is in the street, now in the open spaces, waiting at every turning of the road.

She laid hold upon him and kissed to him; she strengthened her face, and she will say to him,

"Sacrifices of peace offerings [are] upon me; {today} I completed my vows.

She stood upon the head of the heights, upon the way of the house of the beaten paths.

Give ear, for my words are true, and my lips are open to give out what is upright.

The earth and all that is upon the earth was not yet made, no not the ground itself.

When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth:

She hath sent forth her maidens: she crieth upon the highest places of the city,

He who corrects and instructs a scoffer gets dishonor for himself,
And he who rebukes a wicked man gets insults for himself.

The foolish woman is restless and noisy;
She is naive and easily misled and thoughtless, and knows nothing at all [of eternal value].

She sits at the door of her house, upon a throne [at the] high places of town,

Blessings are upon the head of the just: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.

The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him: but the desire of the righteous shall be granted.

The righteous person is delivered from trouble; it comes upon the wicked instead.

He that withholdeth corn, the people shall curse him: but blessing shall be upon the head of him that selleth it.

He that is earnest after good seeketh favour; but he that searcheth for mischief, it shall come upon him.

Behold, the righteous shall be recompensed upon the earth: much more the wicked and the sinner.

No harm befalls the righteous,
But the wicked are filled with trouble.

He who keeps a watch on his mouth keeps his life; but he whose lips are open wide will have destruction.

Whoever despises the word and counsel [of God] brings destruction upon himself,
But he who [reverently] fears and respects the commandment [of God] will be rewarded.

Every prudent man dealeth with knowledge: but a fool layeth open his folly.

Desire realized is sweet to the soul;
But it is detestable to fools to turn away from evil [which they have planned].

Mischief followeth upon sinners; but the righteous shall have a good reward,

The hater of authority, searching for wisdom, does not get it; but knowledge comes readily to the open-minded man.

They that imagine wickedness, shall be disappointed; but they that muse upon good things, unto such shall happen mercy and faithfulness.

He who presses the poor curses his Maker, but he who honors Him has mercy upon the poor.

The eyes of Jehovah are in every place, Keeping watch upon the evil and the good.

Sheol and Abaddon lie open before the Lord—
how much more, human hearts.

The lifestyle of the lazy is like a thorny hedge, but the path taken by the upright is an open highway.

The Lord is far from sinners, but his ear is open to the prayer of the upright.

The man whose ear is open to the teaching of life will have his place among the wise.

Commit your works to the Lord [submit and trust them to Him],
And your plans will succeed [if you respond to His will and guidance].

A decision is upon the lips of a king; in judgment his mouth will not sin.

The heart of the wise maketh his mouth intelligent, and upon his lips increaseth learning.

The soul of him laboring, labored for himself; for his mouth urged upon him.

An abandoned man, diggeth up mischief, - and, upon his lips, as it were a fire is scorching.

He doing evil attends upon, lips of vanity; he lying feeds upon a tongue of mischief

A reproof will take hold upon, him understanding more than a hundred, blows the foolish.

He that soweth discord and strife, is like one that diggeth up a water brook; but an open enemy is like the water that breaketh out and runneth abroad.

A foolish man's lips are a cause of fighting, and his mouth makes him open to blows.

The gift of a person will open doors for him, and before the great, it gives him access.

The multitude hangeth upon great men; and every man favoureth him that giveth rewards.

The king's wrath is as the roaring of a lion; but his favour is as dew upon the grass.

He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD; and that which he hath given will he pay him again.

Chasten thy son, seeing there is hope; but set not thy soul upon killing him.

Let your ear be open to suggestion and take teaching, so that at the end you may be wise.

The king shall sit upon the throne of judgment scattering with his eyes all evil.

Love not sleep, lest thou come to poverty; open thine eyes, and thou shalt be satisfied with bread.

He who goes about talking of the business of others gives away secrets: so have nothing to do with him whose lips are open wide.

Steams of waters the heart of the king, in the hand of Jehovah: upon all which he shall delight in he will turn it

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

The soul of the ungodly wisheth evil; and hath no pity upon his neighbour.

Straiten to a youth upon the mouth of his way, also when he shall grow old he will not depart from it.

Whoever sows wickedness reaps trouble, and the anger he uses for a weapon will be destroyed.

He that loveth pureness of heart, upon whose lips is grace, the king is his friend.

For it is a pleasant thing if thou keep them within thee, If they be established together upon thy lips.

Be not thou one of them that bind their hand upon promise, and are surety for debt;

Labour not to make wealth, From thine own understanding cease, Dost thou cause thine eyes to fly upon it? Then it is not.

Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? for riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven.

Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his colour in the cup, when it moveth itself aright.

So shall thine eyes look unto strange women, and thine heart shall muse upon froward things.

Yea, thou shalt be as he that lieth down in the midst of the sea, or as he that lieth upon the top of a mast.

Wisdom is too high for a fool: he will not open his mouth in the gate.

Lay no privy wait wickedly upon the house of the righteous, and disquiet not his resting place.

Or the Lord will see your gloating and be displeased,
And turn His anger away from your enemy.

For their tragedy will rise suddenly,
And who knows the punishment that both [the Lord and the king] will bring on the rebellious?

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

But to them that rebuke him shall be delight, and a good blessing shall come upon them.
