1My son! my law forget not, And my commands let thy heart keep,
2For length of days and years, Life and peace they do add to thee.
3Let not kindness and truth forsake thee, Bind them on thy neck, Write them on the tablet of thy heart,
4And find grace and good understanding In the eyes of God and man.
5Trust unto Jehovah with all thy heart, And unto thine own understanding lean not.
6In all thy ways know thou Him, And He doth make straight thy paths.
7Be not wise in thine own eyes, Fear Jehovah, and turn aside from evil.
8Healing it is to thy navel, And moistening to thy bones.
9Honour Jehovah from thy substance, And from the beginning of all thine increase;
10And filled are thy barns with plenty, And with new wine thy presses break forth.
11Chastisement of Jehovah, my son, despise not, And be not vexed with His reproof,
12For whom Jehovah loveth He reproveth, Even as a father the son He is pleased with.
13O the happiness of a man who hath found wisdom, And of a man who bringeth forth understanding.
14For better is her merchandise Than the merchandise of silver, And than gold — her increase.
15Precious she is above rubies, And all thy pleasures are not comparable to her.
16Length of days is in her right hand, In her left are wealth and honour.
17Her ways are ways of pleasantness, And all her paths are peace.
18A tree of life she is to those laying hold on her, And whoso is retaining her is happy.
19Jehovah by wisdom did found the earth, He prepared the heavens by understanding.
20By His knowledge depths have been rent, And clouds do drop dew.
21My son! let them not turn from thine eyes, Keep thou wisdom and thoughtfulness,
22And they are life to thy soul, and grace to thy neck.
