1  Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and
attend to know understanding.  2  For I give you good
doctrine, forsake ye not my law.  3  For I was my father's
son, tender and only beloved in the sight of my mother. 
 4  He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine heart
retain my words: keep my commandments, and live. 
 5  Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither
decline from the words of my mouth.  6  Forsake her not, and
she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee. 
 7  Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and
with all thy getting get understanding.  8  Exalt her, and
she shall promote thee: she shall bring thee to honour, when
thou dost embrace her.  9  She shall give to thine head an
ornament of grace: a crown of glory shall she deliver to
thee.  10  Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings; and the
years of thy life shall be many.  11  I have taught thee in
the way of wisdom; I have led thee in right paths. 
 12  When thou goest, thy steps shall not be straitened; and
when thou runnest, thou shalt not stumble.  13  Take
fasthold of instruction; let her not go: keep her; for she
is thy life. 

 14  Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the
way of evil men.  15  Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from
it, and pass away.  16  For they sleep not, except they
have done mischief; and their sleep is taken away, unless
they cause some to fall.  17  For they eat the bread of
wickedness, and drink the wine of violence.  18  But the
path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more
and more unto the perfect day.  19  The way of the wicked is
as darkness: they know not at what they stumble. 

 20  My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my
sayings.  21  Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them
in the midst of thine heart.  22  For they are life unto
those that find them, and health to all their flesh. 
23  Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the
issues of life.  24  Put away from thee a froward mouth, and
perverse lips put far from thee.  25  Let thine eyes look
right on, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee. 
26  Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be
established.  27  Turn not to the right hand nor to the
left: remove thy foot from evil.
