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}

Behold, happyH835 is the manH582 whom GodH433 correctethH3198: therefore despiseH3988 not thou the chasteningH4148 of the AlmightyH7706:
If thou faintH7503 in the dayH3117 of adversityH6869, thy strengthH3581 is smallH6862. {small: Heb. narrow}
BlessedH835 is the manH1397 whom thou chastenestH3256, O LORDH3050, and teachestH3925 him out of thy lawH8451;
But now it is comeH935 upon thee, and thou faintestH3811; it touchethH5060 thee, and thou art troubledH926.
ButG1161 when we are judgedG2919, we are chastenedG3811 ofG5259 the LordG2962, thatG3363 we shouldG2632 notG3363 be condemnedG2632 withG4862 the worldG2889.
Even the youthsH5288 shall faintH3286 and be wearyH3021, and the young menH970 shall utterlyH3782 fallH3782:
AndG2532 ye have forgottenG1585 the exhortationG3874 whichG3748 speakethG1256 unto youG5213 asG5613 unto childrenG5207, MyG3450 sonG5207, despiseG3643 notG3361 thouG3643 the chasteningG3809 of the LordG2962, norG3366 faintG1590 when thou art rebukedG1651 ofG5259 himG846:
But they that waitH6960 upon the LORDH3068 shall renewH2498 their strengthH3581; they shall mount upH5927 with wingsH83 as eaglesH5404; they shall runH7323, and not be wearyH3021; and they shall walkH3212, and not faintH3286. {renew: Heb. change}
ForG1063 whomG3739 the LordG2962 lovethG25 he chastenethG3811, andG1161 scourgethG3146 everyG3956 sonG5207 whomG3739 he receivethG3858.
Therefore seeingG1223+G5124 we haveG2192 thisG5026 ministryG1248, asG2531 we have received mercyG1653, we faintG1573 notG3756;
As many asG3745+G1437 I loveG5368, IG1473 rebukeG1651 andG2532 chastenG3811: be zealousG2206 thereforeG3767, andG2532 repentG3340.
For which causeG1352 we faintG1573 notG3756; butG235 thoughG1499 ourG2257 outwardG1854 manG444 perishG1311, yetG235 the inwardG2081 man is renewedG341 dayG2250 byG2532 dayG2250.
ForG1063 ourG2257 lightG1645 afflictionG2347, whichG3588 is but for a momentG3910, workethG2716 for usG2254 a farG2596+G5236 more exceedingG1519+G5236 and eternalG166 weightG922 of gloryG1391;
ForG1063 considerG357 him that enduredG5278 suchG5108 contradictionG485 ofG5259 sinnersG268 againstG1519 himselfG846, lestG3363 ye be weariedG2577 and faintG1590 in yourG5216 mindsG5590.
IfG1487 ye endureG5278 chasteningG3809, GodG2316 dealethG4374 with youG5213 asG5613 with sonsG5207; forG1063 whatG5101 sonG5207 is heG2076 whomG3739 the fatherG3962 chastenethG3811 notG3756?
ButG1161 ifG1487 ye beG2075 withoutG5565 chastisementG3809, whereofG3739 allG3956 areG1096 partakersG3353, thenG686 are yeG2075 bastardsG3541, andG2532 notG3756 sonsG5207.
FurthermoreG1534+G3303 we have hadG2192 fathersG3962 of ourG2257 fleshG4561 which correctedG3810 us, andG2532 we gave them reverenceG1788: shall weG5293 notG3756 muchG4183 ratherG3123 be in subjectionG5293 unto the FatherG3962 of spiritsG4151, andG2532 liveG2198?
ForG1063 they verilyG3303 forG4314 a fewG3641 daysG2250 chastenedG3811 us afterG2596 their ownG846 pleasureG1380; butG1161 he forG1909 our profitG4851, thatG1519 we might be partakersG3335 of hisG846 holinessG41. {after…: or, as seemed good, or, meet to them}
NowG1161 noG3956+G3756 chasteningG3809 forG4314+G3303 the presentG3918 seemethG1380 to beG1511 joyousG5479, butG235 grievousG3077: neverthelessG1161 afterwardG5305 it yieldethG591 the peaceableG1516 fruitG2590 of righteousnessG1343 unto them which are exercisedG1128 therebyG1223+G846.
WhereforeG1352 lift upG461 the handsG5495 which hang downG3935, andG2532 the feebleG3886 kneesG1119;
