1  My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my
commandments:  2  For length of days, and long life, and
peace, shall they add to thee.  3  Let not mercy and truth
forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the
table of thine heart:  4  So shalt thou find favour and good
understanding in the sight of God and man.  5  Trust in the
LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own
understanding.  6  In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he
shall direct thy paths. 

 7  Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart
from evil.  8  It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow
to thy bones.  9  Honour the LORD with thy substance, and
with the firstfruits of all thine increase:  10  So shall
thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst
out with new wine.  11  My son, despise not the chastening
of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction:  12  For
whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son
in whom he delighteth. 

 13  Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that
getteth understanding.  14  For the merchandise of it is
better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof
than fine gold.  15  She is more precious than rubies: and
all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared
unto her.  16  Length of days is in her right hand; and in
her left hand riches and honour.  17  Her ways are ways of
pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.  18  She is a
tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is
every one that retaineth her.  19  The LORD by wisdom hath
founded the earth; by understanding hath he established
the heavens.  20  By his knowledge the depths are broken up,
and the clouds drop down the dew. 

 21  My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: keep
sound wisdom and discretion:  22  So shall they be life
unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck.  23  Then shalt thou
walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble. 
 24  When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea,
thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet. 
 25  Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation
of the wicked, when it cometh.  26  For the LORD shall be
thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken. 

 27  Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it
is in the power of thine hand to do it.  28  Say not unto
thy neighbour, Go, and come again, and to morrow I will
give; when thou hast it by thee.  29  Devise not evil
against thy neighbour, seeing he dwelleth securely by thee. 
 30  Strive not with a man without cause, if he have done
thee no harm.  31  Envy thou not the oppressor, and choose
none of his ways.  32  For the froward is abomination to the
LORD: but his secret is with the righteous.  33  The curse
of the LORD is in the house of the wicked: but he blesseth
the habitation of the just.  34  Surely he scorneth the
scorners: but he giveth grace unto the lowly.  35  The wise
shall inherit glory: but shame shall be the promotion of
fools.
