My sonH1121, forgetH7911 not my lawH8451; but let thine heartH3820 keepH5341 my commandmentsH4687:
For lengthH753 of daysH3117, and longH8141 lifeH2416, and peaceH7965, shall they addH3254 to thee. {long…: Heb. years of life}
Let not mercyH2617 and truthH571 forsakeH5800 thee: bindH7194 them about thy neckH1621; writeH3789 them upon the tableH3871 of thine heartH3820:
So shalt thou findH4672 favourH2580 and goodH2896 understandingH7922 in the sightH5869 of GodH430 and manH120. {good…: or, good success}
TrustH982 in the LORDH3068 with all thine heartH3820; and leanH8172 not unto thine own understandingH998.
In all thy waysH1870 acknowledgeH3045 him, and he shall directH3474 thy pathsH734.
Be not wiseH2450 in thine own eyesH5869: fearH3372 the LORDH3068, and departH5493 from evilH7451.
It shall be healthH7500 to thy navelH8270, and marrowH8250 to thy bonesH6106. {health: Heb. medicine} {marrow: Heb. watering, or, moistening}
HonourH3513 the LORDH3068 with thy substanceH1952, and with the firstfruitsH7225 of all thine increaseH8393:
So shall thy barnsH618 be filledH4390 with plentyH7647, and thy pressesH3342 shall burst outH6555 with new wineH8492.
My sonH1121, despiseH3988 not the chasteningH4148 of the LORDH3068; neither be wearyH6973 of his correctionH8433:
For whom the LORDH3068 lovethH157 he correctethH3198; even as a fatherH1 the sonH1121 in whom he delightethH7521.
HappyH835 is the manH120 that findethH4672 wisdomH2451, and the manH120 that gettethH6329 understandingH8394. {that getteth…: Heb. that draweth out understanding}
For the merchandiseH5504 of it is betterH2896 than the merchandiseH5505 of silverH3701, and the gainH8393 thereof than fine goldH2742.
She is more preciousH3368 than rubiesH6443: and all the things thou canst desireH2656 are not to be comparedH7737 unto her.
LengthH753 of daysH3117 is in her right handH3225; and in her left handH8040 richesH6239 and honourH3519.
Her waysH1870 are waysH1870 of pleasantnessH5278, and all her pathsH5410 are peaceH7965.
She is a treeH6086 of lifeH2416 to them that lay holdH2388 upon her: and happyH833 is every one that retainethH8551 her.
The LORDH3068 by wisdomH2451 hath foundedH3245 the earthH776; by understandingH8394 hath he establishedH3559 the heavensH8064. {established: or, prepared}
By his knowledgeH1847 the depthsH8415 are broken upH1234, and the cloudsH7834 drop downH7491 the dewH2919.
My sonH1121, let not them departH3868 from thine eyesH5869: keepH5341 sound wisdomH8454 and discretionH4209:
So shall they be lifeH2416 unto thy soulH5315, and graceH2580 to thy neckH1621.
Then shalt thou walkH3212 in thy wayH1870 safelyH983, and thy footH7272 shall not stumbleH5062.
When thou liest downH7901, thou shalt not be afraidH6342: yea, thou shalt lie downH7901, and thy sleepH8142 shall be sweetH6149.
Be not afraidH3372 of suddenH6597 fearH6343, neither of the desolationH7722 of the wickedH7563, when it comethH935.
For the LORDH3068 shall be thy confidenceH3689, and shall keepH8104 thy footH7272 from being takenH3921.
WithholdH4513 not goodH2896 from them to whom it is dueH1167, when it is in the powerH410 of thine handH3027 to doH6213 it. {them…: Heb. the owners thereof}
SayH559 not unto thy neighbourH7453, GoH3212, and come againH7725, and to morrowH4279 I will giveH5414; when thou hastH3426 it by thee.
DeviseH2790 not evilH7451 against thy neighbourH7453, seeing he dwellethH3427 securelyH983 by thee. {Devise…: or, Practise no evil}
StriveH7378 not with a manH120 without causeH2600, if he have doneH1580 thee no harmH7451.
EnvyH7065 thou not the oppressorH376+H2555, and chooseH977 none of his waysH1870. {the oppressor: Heb. a man of violence}
For the frowardH3868 is abominationH8441 to the LORDH3068: but his secretH5475 is with the righteousH3477.
The curseH3994 of the LORDH3068 is in the houseH1004 of the wickedH7563: but he blessethH1288 the habitationH5116 of the justH6662.
Surely he scornethH3887 the scornersH3887: but he givethH5414 graceH2580 unto the lowlyH6035+H6041.
The wiseH2450 shall inheritH5157 gloryH3519: but shameH7036 shall be the promotionH7311 of foolsH3684. {shall be…: Heb. exalteth the fools}
