My son, hear the instruction of your father, and forsake not the law of your mother:

If they say, Come with us, let us lie in wait for blood, let us lurk secretly for the innocent without cause:

And they lie in wait for their own blood; they lurk secretly for their own lives.

My son, if you will receive my words, and lay up my commandments with you;

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

She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is everyone that retains her.

When you lie down, you shall not be afraid: yea, you shall lie down, and your sleep shall be sweet.

For I give you good doctrine, forsake not my law.

My son, keep your father's commandment, and forsake not the law of your mother:

For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:

My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with you.

Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of your eye.

Wise men lay up knowledge: but the mouth of the foolish is near destruction.

The words of the wicked are to lie in wait for blood: but the mouth of the upright shall deliver them.

The law of the wise is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.

A faithful witness will not lie: but a false witness will utter lies.

Lie not in wait, O wicked man, against the dwelling of the righteous; spoil not his resting place:

And, lo, it was all grown over with thorns, and weeds had covered its face, and its stone wall was broken down.

They that forsake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep the law contend with them.

Whosoever keeps the law is a wise son: but he that is a companion of gluttonous men shames his father.

He that turns away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination.

Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keeps the law, happy is he.

A man's pride shall bring him low: but honor shall uphold the humble in spirit.

If you have done foolishly in lifting up yourself, or if you have thought evil, lay your hand upon your mouth.

Lest they drink, and forget the law, and pervert the justice of any of the afflicted.

She opens her mouth with wisdom; and on her tongue is the law of kindness.
