Yet where can, Wisdom, be found? And where is the place of understanding? Mortal knoweth not the way thereof, neither can it be found in the land of the living; The resounding deep, hath said, It is not in me! And, the sea, hath said, It is not with me! read more.
Pure gold cannot be given in its stead, neither can silver he weighed as the value thereof; It cannot be put into the scales against the gold of Ophir, with costly onyx, or sapphire; Neither gold nor crystal can compare with it, nor can, the exchange thereof, be a vessel of pure gold, Coral or crystal, cannot be mentioned, Yea, a possession, is wisdom, above red coral; The topaz of Ethiopia cannot compare with it, Against purest gold, can it not be weighed. Whence then cometh, wisdom? And where is the place of understanding? Seeing it hath been hid from the eyes of every living thing, and, from the bird of the heavens, hath it been concealed? Destruction and death, have said, With our ears, have we heard the report thereof! GOD, understandeth the way thereof, and, he, discerneth the place thereof; For, he, unto the ends of the earth, directeth his look, under all the heavens, he seeth; Making, for the wind, a weight, and, the waters, he proved by measure, When he made, for the rain, a decree, and a way for the lightning of thunders, Then, saw he it, and declared it, He settled it, yea also he searched it out; And said to the son of earth, Lo! the reverence of the Lord, that, is wisdom, and, to avoid evil, is understanding.

How happy the man who hath found wisdom, and the man who draweth forth understanding, For better is her merchandise, than the merchandise of silver, yea, than gold, her increase; More precious, is she, than corals, yea, none of thy delightful things, doth equal her: read more.
Length of days, is in her right hand, in her left, are riches and honour; Her ways, are ways of pleasantness, and, all her paths, are peace; A tree of life, is she, to them who secure her, - and, they who hold her fast, are every one to be pronounced happy. Yahweh, in wisdom, founded the earth, establishing the heavens with understanding; By his knowledge, the resounding deeps were burst open, and, the skies, drop down dew. My son, let them not depart from thine eyes, guard thou counsel, and purpose: So shall they become life to thy soul, and an adorning to thy neck; Then, shalt thou walk securely in thy way, and, thy foot, shall not stumble; When thou sittest down, thou shalt have no dread, yea thou shalt lie down, and sweet shall be thy sleep.

Hear, ye sons, the correction of a father, and attend, that ye may know understanding. For, good teaching, have I given you, mine instruction, do not ye forsake. For, a son, became I to my father, tender and most precious in the sight of my mother. read more.
So he taught me, and said to me - Let thy heart, lay hold of my words, Keep my commandments and live! Acquire wisdom, acquire understanding, Do not forget, neither decline thou from the sayings of my mouth. Do not forsake her, and she will guard thee, - love her and she will keep thee. The principal thing, is wisdom, acquire thou wisdom, With all thine acquisition, acquire thou understanding. Exalt her, and she will set thee on high, she will bring thee to honour, when thou dust embrace her: She will give for thy head, a wreath of beauty, A crown of adorning, will she bestow upon thee. Hear, my son, and receive my sayings, and they will multiply to thee the years of life. In the way of wisdom, have I taught thee, I have guided thee in tracks of uprightness. When thou walkest, thy step shall not be hemmed in, and, if thou runnest, thou shalt not stumble. Take fast hold of correction, let her not go, - keep her, for, she, is thy life.

Hear, O Israel: Yahweh, is our God, - Yahweh alone. Thou shalt therefore love Yahweh thy God, - with all thy heart and with all thy soul, and with all thy might; so shall these words which I am commanding thee to-day, be upon thy heart; read more.
and thou shalt impress them upon thy sons, and shalt speak of them, - when thou sittest in thy house and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down and when thou risest up; and thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thy hand, - and they shall serve for bands between thine eyes; and thou shalt write them upon the pests of thy house and within thy gates. So shall it be, when Yahweh thy God shall bring thee into the land, which he sware to thy fathers - to Abraham to Isaac and to Jacob to give unto thee, - into cities great and goodly, which thou didst not build; and houses full of all good things, which thou filledst not, and hewn cisterns which thou hewedst not, vineyards and oliveyards which thou plantedst not, - and shalt eat and be full, take heed unto thyself, lest thou forget Yahweh, - who brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt out of the house of servants.
