My son, do not forget my law, But let your heart guard my commandments;
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 2
|
||
|
|
For length of days and years of life And peace they will add to you.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 3
|
||
|

Do not let lovingkindness and truth forsake you; Bind them around your neck, Write them on the tablet of your heart.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 4
|
||
|
|
So you will find favor and good insight In the eyes of God and man.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 5
|
||
|
|
Trust in Yahweh with all your heart And do not lean on your own understanding.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 6

||
|
|
In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He will make your paths straight.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 7
|
||
|
|
Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear Yahweh and turn away from evil.
|

|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 8
|
||
|

It will be healing to your body And refreshment to your bones.

Honor Yahweh from your wealth And from the first of all your produce;
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 10
|
||
|
|
So your barns will be filled with plenty And your vats will burst with new wine.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 11
|

|
My son, do not reject the discipline of Yahweh Or loathe His reproof,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 12
|
||
|
|
For whom Yahweh loves He reproves, Even as a father _reproves_ the son in whom he delights.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 13
|
||
|
|
How blessed is the man who finds wisdom And the man who obtains discernment.
|
||
|

For her profit is better than the profit of silver And her produce better than fine gold.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 15
|
||

|
She is more precious than pearls; And nothing you desire compares with her.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 16
|
||
|
|
Length of days is in her right hand; In her left hand are riches and glory.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 17
|
||
|
|
Her ways are pleasant ways And all her pathways are peace.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 18
|
||
|
|
She is a tree of life to those who seize her, And all those who hold her fast are blessed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 19
|
||
|
|
Yahweh by wisdom founded the earth, By discernment He established the heavens.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 20
|
||
|
|
By His knowledge the deeps were split up And the skies drip with dew.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 21
|
||
|
|
My son, let them not deviate from your eyes; Guard sound wisdom and discretion,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 22
|
||
|
|
So they will be life for your soul And grace for your neck.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 23
|
||
|
|
Then you will walk in your way securely And your foot will not stumble.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 24
|
||
|
|
When you lie down, you will not be in dread; You will lie down, and your sleep will be pleasant.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 25
|
||
|
|
Do not be afraid of sudden dread Nor of the storm of the wicked when it comes;
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 26
|
||
|
|
For Yahweh 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 hand to do _it_.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 28
|
||
|
|
Do not say to your neighbor, "Go, and come back, And tomorrow I will give _it_," When it is there with you.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 29
|
||
|
|
Do not devise harm against your neighbor, While he lives securely beside you.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 30
|
||
|
|
Do not contend with a man without cause, If he has dealt you no harm.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 31
|
||
|
|
Do not envy a man of violence And do not choose any of his ways.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 32
|
||
|
|
For the devious one is an abomination to Yahweh; But His secret council is with the upright.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 33
|
||
|
|
The curse of Yahweh is on the house of the wicked one, But He blesses the abode of the righteous.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 34
|
||
|
|
Though He scoffs at the scoffers, Yet He gives grace to the humble.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 35
|
||
|
|
The wise will inherit glory, But fools raise up disgrace.
|
