HearH8085, ye childrenH1121, the instructionH4148 of a fatherH1, and attendH7181 to knowH3045 understandingH998.
For I giveH5414 you goodH2896 doctrineH3948, forsakeH5800 ye not my lawH8451.
For I was my father'sH1 sonH1121, tenderH7390 and onlyH3173 beloved in the sightH6440 of my motherH517.
He taughtH3384 me also, and saidH559 unto me, Let thine heartH3820 retainH8551 my wordsH1697: keepH8104 my commandmentsH4687, and liveH2421.
GetH7069 wisdomH2451, getH7069 understandingH998: forgetH7911 it not; neither declineH5186 from the wordsH561 of my mouthH6310.
ForsakeH5800 her not, and she shall preserveH8104 thee: loveH157 her, and she shall keepH5341 thee.
WisdomH2451 is the principal thingH7225; therefore getH7069 wisdomH2451: and with all thy gettingH7075 get understandingH998.
ExaltH5549 her, and she shall promoteH7311 thee: she shall bring thee to honourH3513, when thou dost embraceH2263 her.
She shall giveH5414 to thine headH7218 an ornamentH3880 of graceH2580: a crownH5850 of gloryH8597 shall she deliverH4042 to thee. {a crown…: or, she shall compass thee with a crown of glory}
HearH8085, O my sonH1121, and receiveH3947 my sayingsH561; and the yearsH8141 of thy lifeH2416 shall be manyH7235.
I have taughtH3384 thee in the wayH1870 of wisdomH2451; I have ledH1869 thee in rightH3476 pathsH4570.
When thou goestH3212, thy stepsH6806 shall not be straitenedH3334; and when thou runnestH7323, thou shalt not stumbleH3782.
Take fast holdH2388 of instructionH4148; let her not goH7503: keepH5341 her; for she is thy lifeH2416.
EnterH935 not into the pathH734 of the wickedH7563, and goH833 not in the wayH1870 of evilH7451 men.
AvoidH6544 it, passH5674 not by it, turnH7847 from it, and pass awayH5674.
For they sleepH3462 not, except they have done mischiefH7489; and their sleepH8142 is taken awayH1497, unless they cause some to fallH3782+H3782.
For they eatH3898 the breadH3899 of wickednessH7562, and drinkH8354 the wineH3196 of violenceH2555.
But the pathH734 of the justH6662 is as the shiningH5051 lightH216, that shinethH215 moreH1980 and more unto the perfectH3559 dayH3117.
The wayH1870 of the wickedH7563 is as darknessH653: they knowH3045 not at what they stumbleH3782.
My sonH1121, attendH7181 to my wordsH1697; inclineH5186 thine earH241 unto my sayingsH561.
Let them not departH3868 from thine eyesH5869; keepH8104 them in the midstH8432 of thine heartH3824.
For they are lifeH2416 unto those that findH4672 them, and healthH4832 to all their fleshH1320. {health: Heb. medicine}
KeepH5341 thy heartH3820 with all diligenceH4929; for out of it are the issuesH8444 of lifeH2416. {with…: Heb. above all keeping}
Put awayH5493 from thee a frowardH6143 mouthH6310, and perverseH3891 lipsH8193 put farH7368 from thee. {a froward…: Heb. frowardness of mouth and perverseness of lips}
Let thine eyesH5869 lookH5027 right onH5227, and let thine eyelidsH6079 look straightH3474 before thee.
PonderH6424 the pathH4570 of thy feetH7272, and let all thy waysH1870 be establishedH3559. {let…: or, all thy ways shall be ordered aright}
TurnH5186 not to the right handH3225 nor to the leftH8040: removeH5493 thy footH7272 from evilH7451.
