  • 1 Listen, sons, to a father’s instruction. Pay attention and know understanding;
  • 2 for I give you sound learning. Don’t forsake my law.
  • 3 For I was a son to my father, tender and an only child in the sight of my mother.
  • 4 He taught me, and said to me: “Let your heart retain my words. Keep my commandments, and live.
  • 5 Get wisdom. Get understanding. Don’t forget, neither swerve from the words of my mouth.
  • 6 Don’t forsake her, and she will preserve you. Love her, and she will keep you.
  • 7 Wisdom is supreme. Get wisdom. Yes, though it costs all your possessions, get understanding.
  • 8 Esteem her, and she will exalt you. She will bring you to honor, when you embrace her.
  • 9 She will give to your head a garland of grace. She will deliver a crown of splendor to you.”
  • 10 Listen, my son, and receive my sayings. The years of your life will be many.
  • 11 I have taught you in the way of wisdom. I have led you in straight paths.
  • 12 When you go, your steps will not be hampered. When you run, you will not stumble.
  • 13 Take firm hold of instruction. Don’t let her go. Keep her, for she is your life.
  • 14 Don’t enter into the path of the wicked. Don’t walk in the way of evil men.
  • 15 Avoid it, and don’t pass by it. Turn from it, and pass on.
  • 16 For they don’t sleep, unless they do evil. Their sleep is taken away, unless they make someone fall.
  • 17 For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of violence.
  • 18 But the path of the righteous is like the dawning light, that shines more and more until the perfect day.
  • 19 The way of the wicked is like darkness. They don’t know what they stumble over.
  • 20 My son, attend to my words. Turn your ear to my sayings.
  • 21 Let them not depart from your eyes. Keep them in the center of your heart.
  • 22 For they are life to those who find them, and health to their whole body.
  • 23 Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it is the wellspring of life.
  • 24 Put away from yourself a perverse mouth. Put corrupt lips far from you.
  • 25 Let your eyes look straight ahead. Fix your gaze directly before you.
  • 26 Make the path of your feet level. Let all of your ways be established.
  • 27 Don’t turn to the right hand nor to the left. Remove your foot from evil.
