- 1. My son, if thou dost accept my sayings, And my commands dost lay up with thee,
- 2. To cause thine ear to attend to wisdom, Thou inclinest thy heart to understanding,
- 3. For, if for intelligence thou callest, For understanding givest forth thy voice,
- 4. If thou dost seek her as silver, And as hid treasures searchest for her,
- 5. Then understandest thou fear of Jehovah, And knowledge of God thou findest.
- 6. For Jehovah giveth wisdom, From His mouth knowledge and understanding.
- 7. Even to lay up for the upright substance, A shield for those walking uprightly.
- 8. To keep the paths of judgment, And the way of His saints He preserveth.
- 9. Then understandest thou righteousness, And judgment, and uprightness -- every good path.
- 10. For wisdom cometh into thy heart, And knowledge to thy soul is pleasant,
- 11. Thoughtfulness doth watch over thee, Understanding doth keep thee,
- 12. To deliver thee from an evil way, From any speaking froward things,
- 13. Who are forsaking paths of uprightness, To walk in ways of darkness,
- 14. Who are rejoicing to do evil, They delight in frowardness of the wicked,
- 15. Whose paths `are' crooked, Yea, they are perverted in their ways.
- 16. To deliver thee from the strange woman, From the stranger who hath made smooth her sayings,
- 17. Who is forsaking the guide of her youth, And the covenant of her God hath forgotten.
- 18. For her house hath inclined unto death, And unto Rephaim her paths.
- 19. None going in unto her turn back, Nor do they reach the paths of life.
- 20. That thou dost go in the way of the good, And the paths of the righteous dost keep.
- 21. For the upright do inhabit the earth, And the perfect are left in it,
- 22. And the wicked from the earth are cut off, And treacherous dealers plucked out of it!
