Chapter 4
-
Hear, my children, the instruction of a father, And give attention to know understanding;
-
For I give you good doctrine: Do not forsake my law.
-
When I was my father's son, Tender and the only one in the sight of my mother,
-
He also taught me, and said to me: "Let your heart retain my words; Keep my commands, and live.
-
Get wisdom! Get understanding! Do not forget, nor turn away from the words of my mouth.
-
Do not forsake her, and she will preserve you; Love her, and she will keep you.
-
Wisdom is the principal thing; Therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding.
-
Exalt her, and she will promote you; She will bring you honor, when you embrace her.
-
She will place on your head an ornament of grace; A crown of glory she will deliver to you."
-
Hear, my son, and receive my sayings, And the years of your life will be many.
-
I have taught you in the way of wisdom; I have led you in right paths.
-
When you walk, your steps will not be hindered, And when you run, you will not stumble.
-
Take firm hold of instruction, do not let go; Keep her, for she is your life.
-
Do not enter the path of the wicked, And do not walk in the way of evil.
-
Avoid it, do not travel on it; Turn away from it and pass on.
-
For they do not sleep unless they have done evil; And their sleep is taken away unless they make someone fall.
-
For they eat the bread of wickedness, And drink the wine of violence.
-
But the path of the just is like the shining sun, That shines ever brighter unto the perfect day.
-
The way of the wicked is like darkness; They do not know what makes them stumble.
-
My son, give attention to my words; Incline your ear to my sayings.
-
Do not let them depart from your eyes; Keep them in the midst of your heart;
-
For they are life to those who find them, And health to all their flesh.
-
Keep your heart with all diligence, For out of it spring the issues of life.
-
Put away from you a deceitful mouth, And put perverse lips far from you.
-
Let your eyes look straight ahead, And your eyelids look right before you.
-
Ponder the path of your feet, And let all your ways be established.
-
Do not turn to the right or the left; Remove your foot from evil.
