1
My son,H1121 forgetH7911 not my law;H8451 but let your heartH3820 keepH5341 my commandments:H4687
2
For lengthH753 of days,H3117 and longH753 life,H2416 and peace,H7965 shall they addH3254 to you.
3
Let not mercyH2617 and truthH571 forsakeH5800 you: bindH7194 them aboutH5921 your neck;H1621 writeH3789 them on the tableH3871 of your heart:H3820
4
So shall you findH4672 favorH2580 and goodH2896 understandingH7922 in the sightH5869 of GodH430 and man.H120
5
TrustH982 in the LORDH3068 with allH3605 your heart;H3820 and leanH8172 not to your own understanding.H998
6
In allH3605 your waysH1870 acknowledgeH3045 him, and he shall directH3474 your paths.H734
7
Be not wiseH2450 in your own eyes:H5869 fearH3372 the LORD,H3068 and departH5493 from evil.H7451
8
It shall be healthH7500 to your navel,H8270 and marrowH8250 to your bones.H6106
9
HonorH3513 the LORDH3068 with your substance,H1952 and with the first fruitsH7225 of allH3605 your increase:H8393
10
So shall your barnsH618 be filledH4390 with plenty,H7647 and your pressesH3342 shall burstH6555 out with newH8492 wine.H8492
11
My son,H1121 despiseH3988 not the chasteningH4148 of the LORD;H3068 neitherH408 be wearyH6973 of his correction:H8433
12
For whomH853 H834 the LORDH3068 lovesH157 he corrects;H3198 even as a fatherH1 the sonH1121 in whom he delights.H7521
13
HappyH835 is the manH120 that findsH4672 wisdom,H2451 and the manH120 that getsH6329 understanding.H8394
14
For the merchandiseH5504 of it is betterH2896 than the merchandiseH5505 of silver,H3701 and the gainH8393 thereof than fine gold.H2742
15
She is more preciousH3368 than rubies:H6443 and allH3605 the things you can desireH2656 are not to be comparedH7737 to her.
16
LengthH753 of daysH3117 is in her rightH3225 hand;H3225 and in her leftH8040 handH8040 richesH6239 and honor.H3519
17
Her waysH1870 are waysH1870 of pleasantness,H5278 and allH3605 her pathsH5410 are peace.H7965
18
She is a treeH6086 of lifeH2416 to them that lay holdH2388 on her: and happyH833 is every one that retainsH8551 her.
19
The LORDH3068 by wisdomH2451 has foundedH3245 the earth;H776 by understandingH8394 has he establishedH3559 the heavens.H8064
20
By his knowledgeH1847 the depthsH8415 are brokenH1234 up, and the cloudsH7834 dropH7491 downH7491 the dew.H2919
21
My son,H1121 let not them departH3868 from your eyes:H5869 keepH5341 soundH8454 wisdomH8454 and discretion:H4209
22
So shall they be lifeH2416 to your soul,H5315 and graceH2580 to your neck.H1621
23
ThenH227 shall you walkH3212 in your wayH1870 safely,H983 and your footH7272 shall not stumble.H5062
24
WhenH518 you lieH7901 down,H7901 you shall not be afraid:H6342 yes, you shall lieH7901 down,H7901 and your sleepH8142 shall be sweet.H6149
25
Be not afraidH3372 of suddenH6597 fear,H6343 neither of the desolationH7722 of the wicked,H7563 whenH3588 it comes.H935
26
For the LORDH3068 shall be your confidence,H3689 and shall keepH8104 your footH7272 from being taken.H3921
27
WithholdH4513 not goodH2896 from them to whom it is due,H1167 when it is in the powerH410 of your handH3027 to doH6213 it.
28
SayH559 not to your neighbor,H7453 Go,H3212 and comeH7725 again,H7725 and to morrowH4279 I will give;H5414 when you haveH3426 it by you.
29
DeviseH2790 not evilH7451 againstH5921 your neighbor,H7453 seeing he dwellsH3427 securelyH983 by you.
30
StriveH7378 not with a manH120 withoutH2600 cause,H2600 ifH518 he have doneH1580 you noH3808 harm.H7451
31
EnvyH7065 you not the oppressor,H376 H2555 and chooseH977 noneH408 of his ways.H1870
32
For the fraudulentH3868 is abominationH8441 to the LORD:H3068 but his secretH5475 is with the righteous.H3477
33
The curseH3994 of the LORDH3068 is in the houseH1004 of the wicked:H7563 but he blessesH1288 the habitationH5116 of the just.H6662
34
SurelyH518 he scornsH3887 the scorners:H3887 but he givesH5414 graceH2580 to the lowly.H6041
35
The wiseH2450 shall inheritH5157 glory:H3519 but shameH7036 shall be the promotionH7311 of fools.H3684
