"¹My son, do not forget my teaching, but let your heart keep my commandments, ²for length of days and years of life and peace they will add to you.  ³Let not steadfast love and faithfulness forsake you; bind them around your neck; write them on the tablet of your heart. ⁴So you will find favor and good success in the sight of God and man. ⁵Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. ⁶ In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. ⁷Be not wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD, and turn away from evil. ⁸It will be healing to your flesh and refreshment to your bones ⁹Honor the LORD with your wealth and with the firstfruits of all your produce ¹⁰then your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will be bursting with wine. ¹¹My son, do not despise the LORD's discipline or be weary of his reproof ¹²for the LORD reproves him whom he loves, as a father the son in whom he delights. ¹³Blessed is the one who finds wisdom, and the one who gets understanding, ¹⁴for the gain from her is better than gain from silver and her profit better than gold. ¹⁵She is more precious than jewels, and nothing you desire can compare with her.  ¹⁶Long life is in her right hand; in her left hand areriches and honor. ¹⁷ [Wisdom's] ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace. ¹⁸[Wisdom] is a tree of life to those who lay hold of her; those who hold her fast are called blessed. ¹⁹ The LORD by wisdom founded the earth; by understanding he established the heavens; ²⁰by his knowledge the deeps broke open, and the clouds drop down the dew. ²¹ My son, do not lose sight of these - keep sound wisdom and discretion. . . ²².[sound wisdom and discretion] and they will be life for your soul and adornment for your neck.²³Then you will walk on your way securely, and your foot will not stumble. ²⁴If you lie down, you will not be afraid; when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet ²⁵Do not be afraid of sudden terror or of the ruin of the wicked, when it comes. . .²⁶. . .for the Lord will be your confidence and will keep your foot from being caught. ²⁷ Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due,when it is in your power to do it. ²⁸Do not say to your neighbor, 'Go, and come again, tomorrow I will give it' -when you have it with you." ²⁹ Do not plan evil against your neighbor,who dwells trustingly beside you. ³⁰ Do not contend with a man for no reason,when he has done you no harm. ³¹ Do not envy a man of violence and do not choose any of his ways, ³²for the devious person is an abomination to the Lord, but the upright are in his confidence. ³³The Lord's curse is on the house of the wicked,but he blesses the dwelling of the righteous. ³⁴ Toward the scorners he is scornful, but to the humble he gives favor. ³⁵The wise will inherit honor, but fools get diisgrace."
