1 M y son,H1121 forgetH7911 not my law;H8451 But let thy heartH3820 keepH5341 my commandments:H4687

2 For lengthH753 of days,H3117 and yearsH8141 of life,H2416 And peace,H7965 will they addH3254 to thee.

3 Let not kindnessH2617 and truthH571 forsakeH5800 thee: BindH7194 them about thy neck;H1621 WriteH3789 them upon the tabletH3871 of thy heart:H3820

4 So shalt thou findH4672 favorH2580 and goodH2896 understandingH7922 In the sightH5869 of GodH430 and man.H120

5 TrustH982 in JehovahH3068 with all thy heart,H3820 And leanH8172 not upon thine own understanding:H998

6 In all thy waysH1870 acknowledgeH3045 him, And he will directH3474 thy paths.H734

7 Be not wiseH2450 in thine own eyes;H5869 FearH3372 Jehovah,H3068 and departH5493 from evil:H7451

8 It will be healthH7500 to thy navel,H8270 And marrowH8250 to thy bones.H6106

9 HonorH3513 JehovahH3068 with thy substance,H1952 And with the first-fruitsH7225 of all thine increase:H8393

10 So shall thy barnsH618 be filledH4390 with plenty,H7647 And thy vatsH3342 shall overflowH6555 with new wine.H8492

11 My son,H1121 despiseH3988 not the chasteningH4148 of Jehovah;H3068 Neither be wearyH6973 of his reproof:H8433

12 For whom JehovahH3068 lovethH157 he reproveth;H3198 Even as a fatherH1 the sonH1121 in whom he delighteth.H7521

13 HappyH835 is the manH120 that findethH4672 wisdom,H2451 And the manH120 that gettethH6329 understanding.H8394

14 For the gainingH5504 of it is betterH2896 than the gainingH5505 of silver,H3701 And the profitH8393 thereof than fine gold.H2742

15 She is more preciousH3368 than rubies:H6443 And none of the things thou canst desireH2656 are to be comparedH7737 unto her.

16 LengthH753 of daysH3117 is in her right hand;H3225 In her left handH8040 are richesH6239 and honor.H3519

17 Her waysH1870 are waysH1870 of pleasantness,H5278 And all her pathsH5410 are peace.H7965

18 She is a treeH6086 of lifeH2416 to them that lay holdH2388 upon her: And happyH833 is every one that retainethH8551 her.

19 JehovahH3068 by wisdomH2451 foundedH3245 the earth;H776 By understandingH2451 he establishedH3559 the heavens.H8064

20 By his knowledgeH1847 the depthsH8415 were broken up,H1234 And the skiesH7834 drop downH7491 the dew.H2919

21 My son,H1121 let them not departH3868 from thine eyes;H5869 KeepH5341 sound wisdomH8454 and discretion:H4209

22 So shall they be lifeH2416 unto thy soul,H5315 And graceH2580 to thy neck.H1621

23 Then shalt thou walkH3212 in thy wayH1870 securely,H983 And thy footH7272 shall not stumble.H5062

24 When thou liest down,H7901 thou shalt not be afraid:H6342 Yea, thou shalt lie down,H7901 and thy sleepH8142 shall be sweet.H6149

25 Be not afraidH3372 of suddenH6597 fear,H6343 Neither of the desolationH7722 of the wicked,H7563 when it cometh:H935

26 For JehovahH3068 will be thy confidence,H3689 And will keepH8104 thy footH7272 from being taken.H3921

27 WithholdH4513 not goodH2896 from them to whom it is due,H1167 When it is in the powerH410 of thy handH3027 to doH6213 it.

28 SayH559 not unto thy neighbor,H7453 Go,H3212 and come again,H7725 And to-morrowH4279 I will give;H5414 When thou hastH3426 it by thee.

29 DeviseH2790 not evilH7451 against thy neighbor,H7453 Seeing he dwellethH3427 securelyH983 by thee.

30 StriveH7378 not with a manH120 without cause,H2600 If he have doneH1580 thee no harm.H7451

31 EnvyH7065 thou not the man of violence,H376 And chooseH977 none of his ways.H1870

32 For the perverseH3868 is an abominationH8441 to Jehovah;H3068 But his friendshipH5475 is with the upright.H3477

33 The curseH3994 of JehovahH3068 is in the houseH1004 of the wicked;H7563 But he blessethH1288 the habitationH5116 of the righteous.H6662

34 Surely he scoffethH3887 at the scoffers;H3887 But he givethH5414 graceH2580 unto the lowly.H6035

35 The wiseH2450 shall inheritH5157 glory;H3519 But shameH7036 shall be the promotionH7311 of fools.H3684
