  1 G191 Hear, G3816 O children, G3809 the instruction G3962 of a father, G2532 and G4337 take heed G1097 to know G1771 insight!
  2 G1435 [5gift G1063 1For G18 4a good G1433 2I present G1473 3to you]; G3588   G1699 [3my G3056 4word G3361 1you should not G1459 2abandon].
  3 G5207 [4a son G1063 1For G1096 2I was G2504 3also G3962 6to a father G5255 5subject], G2532 and G25 being loved G1722 in G4383 the presence G3384 of a mother;
  4 G3739 the ones who G3004 spoke G2532 and G1321 taught G1473 me, saying, G2043 Establish G3588   G2251 our G3056 word G1519 in G4674 your G2588 heart! G5442 Keep G1785 the commandments! G3361 Do not forget! G1950  
  5 G2932 Acquire G4678 wisdom! G2932 Acquire G4907 understanding! G3361 You should not forget, G1950   G3366 nor G3917.2 should you ignore G4488.1 the saying G1699 of my G4750 mouth; G3366 nor G1578 should you turn aside G575 from G4487 the words G4750 of my mouth. G1473  
  6 G3361 You should not abandon G1459   G1473 it, G2532 for G472 it shall hold to G1473 you. G2037.1 Love it passionately! G1473   G2532 and G5083 it will keep G1473 you.
  7 G746 [2 is the beginning G4678 1Wisdom], G2932 acquire G4678 wisdom! G2532 And G1722 in G3956 all G2934.3 of your possessing G1473   G2932 acquire G4907 understanding!
  8 G4065.2 Surround her with a rampart! G1473   G2532 and G5312 she shall exalt G1473 you. G5091 Esteem G1473 her! G2443 that G1473 she should keep you; G4033.2  
  9 G2443 that G1325 she should give G3588 [3 to G4674 4your G2776 5head G4735 1a crown G5484 2of favors], G4735 [4with a crown G1161 1and G5172 5of luxury G5231.3 2should shield G1473 3you].
  10 G191 Hear, G5207 O son, G2532 and G1209 receive G1699 my G3056 words! G2532 and G4129 [3will be multiplied G1473 4to you G2094 1years G2222 2of your life], G1473   G2443 that G1473 to you G1096 there should be G4183 many G3598 ways G979 of life.
  11 G3598 For the ways G1063   G4678 of wisdom G1321 I teach G1473 you; G1688 [2I put 4on board G1161 1and G1473 3you G5163 6tracks G3717 5straight].
  12 G1437 For when G1063   G4198 you should go G3756 [3will not G4788 4be hemmed in G1473 1your G3588   G1226.1 2footsteps]; G1437 and when G1161   G5143 you should run, G3756 you shall not G2872 tire.
  13 G1949 Take hold G1699 of my G3809 instruction! G3361 you should not G863 let go; G235 but G5442 keep G1473 it G4572 to yourself, G1519 for G2222 your life! G1473  
  14 G3598 [3ways G765 2by impious G3361 1You should not come], G1904   G3366 nor G2206 be jealous G3598 of the ways G3892.1 of lawbreakers.
  15 G1722 In G3739 what G302 ever G5117 place G4759.2 they should encamp, G3361 you should not G1904 come G1563 there. G1578 Turn aside G575 from G1473 them G2532 and G3883.2 alter course!
  16 G3756 [3not G1063 1For G3361 2they shall] G5258.1 sleep, G1437 unless G3361   G2554 they should have done evil. G851 [2is removed G5258 1Sleep] G575 from G1473 them, G2532 and G3756 they do not G2837 go to bed.
  17 G3592 For thus G1063   G4618.1 they feed well G4621 on grain G763 of impiety; G3631 and by wine G1161   G3892.1 of a lawbreaker G3182 they are intoxicated.
  18 G3588 But the G1161   G3598 ways G3588 of the G1342 just G3668 are likened G5457 to light -- G2989 they radiate. G4313 They go before G2532 and G5461 give light G2193 until G302 whenever G2734.2 [3should set up G3588 1the G2250 2day].
  19 G3588 But the G1161   G3598 ways G3588 of the G765 impious G4652 are dark; G3756 they do not G1492 know G4459 how G4350 they stumble.
  20 G5207 O son, G1699 [2to my G4488.1 3saying G4337 1take heed], G3588   G1161 and G1699 to my G3056 words G3846 set aside G4674 your G3775 ear!
  21 G3704 so that G3361 [2should not G1587 3fail G1473 4you G3588   G4077 1your springs]. G1473   G5442 Keep G1473 them G1722 in G1473 your G2588 heart!
  22 G2222 [3life G1063 1for G1510.2.3 2 they are] G3956 to all G3588 the ones G2147 finding G1473 them, G2532 and G3956 [2to all G4561 3flesh G2392 1 healing].
  23 G3956 With all G5438 guard, G5083 give heed to G4674 your G2588 heart! G1537 for from out of G1063   G3778 these things G1841 are the issues G2222 of life.
  24 G4014 Remove G4572 yourself from G4646 a crooked G4750 mouth, G2532 and G94 [2unjust G5491 3lips G3112 4far G575 5from G1473 6you G683 1thrust away]!
  25 G3588   G3788 [2your eyes G1473   G3717 4straight G991 1Let 3see], G3588   G1161 and G991.1 your eyelids G1473   G3506 nod assent G1342 to the just!
  26 G3717 [2straight G5163 3tracks G4160 1Make] G4674 for your G4228 feet, G2532 and G3588   G3598 [2your ways G1473   G2720 1straighten out]!
  27 G3361 You should not turn aside G1578   G1519 unto G3588 the G1188 right G3366 nor G1519 unto G3588 the G710 left; G654 but turn G1161   G4674 your G4228 foot G575 from G3598 [2way G2556 1an evil]! G3598 For the ways, G1063   G3588 the ones G1537 of G1188 the right, G1492 [2knows G3588   G2316 1God]; G1294 but the ones perverting G1161   G1510.2.6 are G3588   G1537 of G710 the left; G1473 but he G1161   G3717 [3straight G4160 1makes G3588   G5163 2your tracks], G1473   G3588   G1161 and G4197 [2your goings G1473   G1722 3in G1515 4peace G4254 1he shall lead before].

new(i)
  1 H8085 [H8798] Hear, H1121 ye sons, H4148 the instruction H1 of a father, H7181 [H8685] and prick up thine ear H3045 [H8800] to know H998 understanding.
  2 H5414 [H8804] For I give H2896 you good H3948 doctrine, H5800 [H8799] forsake H8451 ye not my law.
  3 H1 For I was my father's H1121 son, H7390 tender H3173 and only H6440 beloved in the sight H517 of my mother.
  4 H3384 [H8686] He taught H559 [H8799] me also, and said H3820 to me, Let thine heart H8551 [H8799] retain H1697 my words: H8104 [H8798] keep H4687 my commandments, H2421 [H8798] and live.
  5 H7069 [H8798] Get H2451 wisdom, H7069 [H8798] get H998 understanding: H7911 [H8799] forget H5186 [H8799] it not; neither decline H561 from the words H6310 of my mouth.

  7 H2451 Wisdom H7225 is the principal thing; H7069 [H8798] therefore get H2451 wisdom: H7075 and with all thy getting H998 get understanding.
  8 H5549 [H8769] Exalt H7311 [H8787] her, and she shall promote H3513 [H8762] thee: she shall bring thee to honour, H2263 [H8762] when thou dost embrace her.
  9 H5414 [H8799] She shall give H7218 to thy head H3880 an ornament H2580 of grace: H5850 a crown H8597 of glory H4042 [H8762] shall she deliver to thee.
  10 H8085 [H8798] Hear, H1121 O my son, H3947 [H8798] and receive H561 my sayings; H8141 and the years H2416 of thy life H7235 [H8799] shall be many.

  12 H3212 [H8800] When thou goest, H6806 thy steps H3808 shall not H3334 [H8799] be distressed; H7323 [H8799] and when thou runnest, H3808 thou shalt not H3782 [H8735] stumble.
  13 H2388 [H8685] Take fast hold H4148 of instruction; H7503 [H8686] let her not go: H5341 [H8798] keep H2416 her; for she is thy life.
  14 H935 [H8799] Enter H734 not into the path H7563 of the wicked, H833 [H8762] and go H1870 not in the way H7451 of evil men.
  15 H6544 [H8798] Avoid H5674 [H8799] it, pass H7847 [H8798] not by it, turn H5674 [H8798] from it, and pass away.
  16 H3462 [H8799] For they sleep H7489 [H8686] not, except they have done evil; H8142 and their sleep H1497 [H8738] is taken away, H3782 H3782 [H8686] unless they cause some to fall.
  17 H3898 [H8804] For they eat H3899 the bread H7562 of wickedness, H8354 [H8799] and drink H3196 the wine H2555 of violence.
  18 H734 But the path H6662 of the just H5051 is as the shining H216 light, H215 [H8804] that shineth H1980 [H8802] more H3559 [H8737] and more to the perfect H3117 day.
  19 H1870 The way H7563 of the wicked H653 is as duskiness: H3045 [H8804] they know H3782 [H8735] not at what they stumble.
  20 H1121 My son, H7181 [H8685] prick up thine ear H1697 to my words; H5186 [H8685] incline H241 thine ear H561 to my sayings.
  21 H3868 [H8686] Let them not depart H5869 from thine eyes; H8104 [H8798] keep H8432 them in the midst H3824 of thy heart.
  22 H2416 For they are life H4672 [H8802] to those that find H4832 them, and health H1320 to all their flesh.
  23 H5341 [H8798] Keep H3820 thine heart H4929 with all diligence; H8444 for out of it are the issues H2416 of life.
  24 H5493 [H8685] Put away H6143 from thee a perverse H6310 mouth, H3891 and perverse H8193 lips H7368 [H8685] put far from thee.
  25 H5869 Let thine eyes H5027 [H8686] look H5227 right on, H6079 and let thy eyelids H3474 [H8686] look straight before thee.
  26 H6424 [H8761] Ponder H4570 the path H7272 of thy feet, H1870 and let all thy ways H3559 [H8735] be established.
  27 H5186 [H8799] Turn H3225 not to the right hand H8040 nor to the left: H5493 [H8685] remove H7272 thy foot H7451 from evil.

MSTC(i) 1 Hear, O ye children, the fatherly exhortation, and take good heed, that ye may learn wisdom. 2 Yea I shall give you a good reward, if ye will not forsake my law. 3 For when I myself was my father's dear son, and tenderly beloved of my mother, 4 he taught me also, saying, "Let thine heart receive my words, keep my commandments, and thou shalt live. 5 Get thee wisdom, get thee understanding, forget not the words of my mouth, and shrink not from them. 6 Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee. 7 The chief point of wisdom is that thou be willing to obtain wisdom, and before all thy goods to get the understanding. 8 Make much of her and she shall promote thee: Yea, if thou embracest her, she shall bring thee unto honour. 9 She shall make thee a gracious head, and garnish thee with the crown of glory." 10 Hear, my son, and receive my words, that the years of thy life may be many. 11 I will show thee the way of wisdom, and lead thee in the right paths. 12 So that if thou goest therein, there shall no straitness hinder thee: and when thou runnest, thou shalt not fall. 13 Take fast hold of doctrine, let her not go: keep her, for she is thy life. 14 Come not in the path of the ungodly, and walk not in the way of the wicked. 15 Eschew it, and go not therein: depart aside, and pass over by it. 16 For they cannot sleep, except they have first done some mischief: neither take they any rest, except they have first done some harm. 17 For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of robbery. 18 The path of the righteous shineth as the light, and is ever brighter and brighter unto the perfect day. 19 But the way of the ungodly is as the darkness, wherein men fall, or they be aware. 20 My son, mark my words, and incline thine ear unto my sayings. 21 Let them not depart from thine eyes, keep them even in the midst of thine heart. 22 For they are life unto all those that find them, and health unto all their bodies. 23 Keep thine heart with all diligence, for thereupon hangeth life. 24 Put away from thee a froward mouth, and let the lips of slander be far from thee. 25 Let thine eyes behold the thing that is right, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee. 26 Ponder the path of thy feet: so shall all thy ways be sure. 27 Turn not aside, neither to the righthand nor to the left; but withhold thy foot from evil.

For the Lord knoweth the ways that are on the right hand: but those are perverse which are on the left hand. But he will make thy courses straight, he will bring forward thy ways in peace.

Thomson(i) 1 Hear, children, the instructions of a father; and attend to know the meaning: 2 for I am giving you a good gift: forsake not my law: 3 for I was a son obedient to a father; and beloved in the sight of a mother: 4 and they said when they taught me, "Let our words sink deep in thy heart. Keep our commandments; do not forget; 5 overlook not the dictate of my mouth: 6 forsake it not, and it will defend thee: love it and it will preserve thee: 7 [Omitted] 8 secure it and it will exalt thee: honour it that it may embrace thee: 9 that it may be to thy head a crown of graces and cover thee with a crown of pleasure. 10 Hear my son and receive my words; that, when the years of thy life shall be multiplied, thou mayst have many ways of livelihood: 11 for I am teaching thee ways of wisdom; and confirming thee in right paths. 12 For when thou goest, thy steps will not be straitened: and when thou runnest thou shalt not be tired. 13 Take fast hold of mine instruction, let it not go: but keep it for thyself during thy life. 14 Go not in the ways of wicked men; nor be fond of the ways of transgressors. 15 In what place soever they encamp, go not thither: but turn away from them and keep at a distance: 16 for they cannot sleep. Unless they do evil; their sleep is taken from them and they cannot lie down to rest. 17 For they eat the bread of wickedness; and drink plentifully of the wine of violence. 18 But the paths of the just shine like light; shining more and more until it is perfect day. 19 But the ways of the wicked being dark; they know not at what they stumble. 20 Attend, my son, to my speech, and incline thine ear to my words. 21 That thy fountains may not fail thee, keep them in thy heart; 22 for they are life to them who find them and health to all flesh. 23 Guard thy heart with all diligence; for out of these are the issues of life. 24 Put away from thee a froward mouth, and put perverse lips far from thee. 25 Let thine eyes look straight forward and thine eyelids wink justly. 26 Make straight paths with thy feet and order all thy ways right. 27 Turn not to the right, nor the left; but turn away thy foot from an evil way; for God knoweth the ways on the right, but those on the left are crooked. But he will make thy paths straight and conduct thy steps in peace.
Webster(i) 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 to me, Let thy 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 honor, when thou dost embrace her. 9 She shall give to thy 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 fast hold 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 to 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 thy ear to my sayings. 21 Let them not depart from thy eyes; keep them in the midst of thy heart. 22 For they are life to 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 thy eyes look right on, and let thy 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.

Brenton(i) 1 Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding. 2 For I give you a good gift; forsake ye not my law. 3 For I also was a son obedient to my father, and loved in the sight of my mother: 4 who spoke and instructed me, saying, Let our speech be fixed in thine heart, keep our commandments, forget them not: 5 and do not neglect the speech of my mouth. 6 And forsake it not, and it shall cleave to thee: love it, and it shall keep thee. 7 (OMITTED TEXT) 8 Secure it, and it shall exalt thee: honour it, that it may embrace thee; 9 that it may give unto thy head a crown of graces, and may cover thee with a crown of delight. 10 Hear, my son, and receive my words; and the years of thy life shall be increased, that the resources of thy life may be many. 11 For I teach thee the ways of wisdom; and I cause thee to go in right paths. 12 For when thou goest, thy steps shall not be straitened; and when thou runnest, thou shalt not be distressed. 13 Take hold of my instruction; let it not go, — but keep it for thyself for thy life. 14 Go not in the ways of the ungodly, neither covet the ways of transgressors. 15 In whatever place they shall pitch their camp, go not thither; but turn from them, and pass away. 16 For they cannot sleep, unless they have done evil: their sleep is taken away, and they rest not. 17 For these live upon the bread of ungodliness, and are drunken with wine of transgression. 18 But the ways of the righteous shine like light; they go on and shine, until the day be fully come. 19 But the ways of the ungodly are dark; they know not how they stumble. 20 My son, attend to my speech; and apply thine ear to my words: 21 that thy fountains may not fail thee; keep them in thine heart. 22 For they are life to those that find them, and health to all their flesh. 23 Keep thine heart with the utmost care; for out of these are the issues of life. 24 Remove from thee a froward mouth, and put far away from thee unjust lips. 25 Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids assent to just things. 26 Make straight paths for thy feet, and order thy ways aright. 27 Turn not aside to the right hand nor to the left, but turn away thy foot from an evil way: (4:27A) {\I for God knows the ways on the right hand, but those on the left are crooked:} (4:27B) and he will make thy ways straight, and will guide thy steps in peace.

14 Into the path of the wicked enter not, And be not happy in a way of evil doers. 15 Avoid it, pass not over into it, Turn aside from it, and pass on. 16 For they sleep not if they do not evil, And their sleep hath been taken violently away, If they cause not some to stumble. 17 For they have eaten bread of wickedness, And wine of violence they drink. 18 And the path of the righteous is as a shining light, Going and brightening till the day is established, 19 The way of the wicked is as darkness, They have not known at what they stumble.
20 My son, to my words give attention, To my sayings incline thine ear, 21 Let them not turn aside from thine eyes, Preserve them in the midst of thy heart. 22 For life they are to those finding them, And to all their flesh healing. 23 Above every charge keep thy heart, For out of it are the outgoings of life. 24 Turn aside from thee a froward mouth, And perverse lips put far from thee, 25 Thine eyes do look straightforward, And thine eyelids look straight before thee. 26 Ponder thou the path of thy feet, And all thy ways are established. 27 Incline not to the right or to the left, Turn aside thy foot from evil!

Yea, with all thy getting get understanding. 8 Exalt her, and she will promote thee;
She will bring thee to honor, when thou dost embrace her. 9 She will give to thy head a chaplet of grace;
A crown of beauty will 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 paths of uprightness. 12 When thou goest, thy steps shall not be straitened;
And if thou runnest, thou shalt not stumble. 13 Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go:
Keep her; for she is thy life. 14 Enter not into the path of the wicked,
And walk not in the way of evil men. 15 Avoid it, pass not by it;
Turn from it, and pass on. 16 For they sleep not, except they do evil;
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 righteous is as the dawning 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 thy 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 wayward mouth,
And perverse lips put far from thee. 25 Let thine eyes look right on,
And let thine eyelids look straight before thee. 26 Make level 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.

NHEB(i) 1 Listen, sons, to a father's instruction. Pay attention and know understanding; 2 for I give you sound learning. Do not 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. Do not forget, neither swerve from the words of my mouth. 6 Do not 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. Do not let her go. Keep her, for she is your life. 14 Do not enter into the path of the wicked. Do not walk in the way of evil men. 15 Avoid it, and do not pass by it. Turn from it, and pass on. 16 For they do not 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 a shining light, that shines brighter and brighter until the full day. 19 The way of the wicked is like darkness. They do not 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 midst of your heart. 22 For they are life to him who finds them, and health to all of his body. 23 Guard 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 Do not turn to the right hand nor to the left. Remove your foot from evil.

EJ2000(i) 1 ¶ Hearken, ye sons, unto the chastening of the father, and pay attention that ye might know understanding. 2 For I give you good doctrine; do not forsake my law. 3 For I was my father’s son, tender and unique in the sight of my mother. 4 He taught me and said unto me, Sustain thine heart with 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 Grow in wisdom, and she shall promote thee; she shall bring thee to honour when thou hast embraced her. 9 She shall give to thine head an increase of grace; a crown of glory shall she deliver to thee. 10 Hear, O my son, and receive my words, and the years of thy life shall be multiplied. 11 I have taught thee in the way of wisdom; I have caused thee to walk in right paths. 12 When thou goest in these paths, thy steps shall not be hindered; and when thou runnest, thou shalt not stumble. 13 Take fast hold of chastening; do not let go; keep this; for it 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 do not sleep, unless they have done evil; and their sleep is taken away, unless they cause someone 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 light of the morning star, that shines more and more until the day is perfect. 19 The way of the wicked is as darkness; they do not know in what they stumble. 20 ¶ My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my words. 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 medicine to all their flesh. 23 Above all else, guard thy heart; for out of it flows the issues of life. 24 Put away from thee the perversion of the mouth, and the deviation of the lips put far from thee. 25 Let thine eyes look upon that which is right, and let thine eyelids straighten thy path 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.
CAB(i) 1 Hear, my children, the instruction of a father, and give attention to know understanding. 2 For I give you a good gift; forsake not my law. 3 For I also was a son obedient to my father, and loved in the sight of my mother: 4 who spoke and instructed me, saying, Let our speech be fixed in your heart, keep our commandments, forget them not: 5 and do not neglect the speech of my mouth. 6 And forsake it not, and it shall cleave to you: love it, and it shall keep you. 7 (TEXT OMITTED) 8 Secure it, and it shall exalt you: honor it, that it may embrace you; 9 that it may give unto your head a crown of grace, and may cover you with a crown of delight. 10 Hear, my son, and receive my words, and the years of your life shall be increased, that the resources of your life may be many. 11 For I teach you the ways of wisdom; and I cause you to go in right paths. 12 For when you go, your steps shall not be hindered; and when you run, you shall not be distressed. 13 Take hold of my instruction; do not let it go, but keep it for yourself, for your life. 14 Go not in the ways of the ungodly, neither covet the ways of transgressors. 15 In whatever place they shall pitch their camp, do not go there; but turn from them, and pass away. 16 For they cannot sleep, unless they have done evil: their sleep is taken away, and they rest not. 17 For these live upon the bread of ungodliness, and are drunken with the wine of transgression. 18 But the ways of the righteous shine like light; they go forth and shine, until the day has fully come. 19 But the ways of the ungodly are like darkness; they know not how they stumble. 20 My son, attend to my speech, and incline your ear to my words, 21 that your fountains may not fail you; keep them in your heart. 22 For they are life to those that find them, and health to all their flesh. 23 Keep your heart with the utmost care, for out of these are the issues of life. 24 Remove from yourself a deceitful mouth, and put unjust lips far away from yourself. 25 Let your eyes look right on, and let your eyelids assent to just things. 26 Make straight paths for your feet, and order your ways rightly. 27 Turn not aside to the right hand, nor to the left, but turn away your foot from an evil way: (4:27A) for God knows the ways on the right hand, but those on the left are crooked: (4:27B) and He will make your ways straight, and will guide your steps in peace.

ISV(i) 1 Diligently Pursue Wisdom Listen, children, to your father’s instruction, and pay attention in order to gain understanding. 2 I give you sound teaching, so do not abandon my instruction. 3 When I was a son to my father, not yet strong and an only son to my mother, 4 he taught me and told me, “Let your heart fully embrace what I have to say; keep my commandments and live! 5 Get wisdom! Get understanding! Do not forget or turn aside from the words of my mouth! 6 Do not abandon her, and she will protect you. Love her, and she will watch over you. 7 Wisdom is of utmost importance, therefore get wisdom, and with all your effort work to acquire understanding. 8 Prize her and she will exalt you.

Turn away from it, and pass on by. 16 For they cannot sleep unless they are doing evil, and they are robbed of their sleep unless they cause someone to stumble. 17 For they eat the bread of wickedness, and they drink the wine of violence. 18 The path of the righteous is like the light of dawn that grows brighter until the full light of day. 19 But the way of the wicked is like deep darkness, and they do not know what they are stumbling over.

LEB(i) 1 Children, listen to the instruction of a father, and be attentive in order to know insight. 2 For I have given you good instruction; do not forsake my teaching. 3 When I was a son to my father, tender and alone before my mother, 4 he taught me and said to me, "May your heart hold fast to my words; guard my commandments and live. 5 Get wisdom and insight; do not forget and do not turn from the sayings of my mouth. 6 Do not forsake her—then she will guard you; love her and she will keep you. 7 The beginning of wisdom: Get wisdom! With all that is in your possession, gain insight. 8 Cherish her and she will exalt you; she will honor you if you embrace her. 9 She will give a garland for your head; she shall bestow a crown of glory upon you." 10 Listen, my child, take my sayings, and the years of your life shall be great. 11 In the way of wisdom I have instructed you; I have led you in the path of uprightness. 12 ⌊When you walk⌋,* your step will not be hampered, and if you run, you will not stumble. 13 Seize the instruction!

Luther1545(i) 1 Höret, meine Kinder, die Zucht eures Vaters; merkt auf, daß ihr lernet und klug werdet! 2 Denn ich gebe euch eine gute Lehre; verlasset mein Gesetz nicht! 3 Denn ich war meines Vaters Sohn, ein zarter und ein einiger vor meiner Mutter, 4 und er lehrete mich und sprach: Laß dein Herz meine Worte aufnehmen; halte meine Gebote, so wirst du leben. 5 Nimm an Weisheit, nimm an Verstand; vergiß nicht und weiche nicht von der Rede meines Mundes! 6 Verlaß sie nicht, so wird sie dich behalten; liebe sie, so wird sie dich behüten. 7 Denn der Weisheit Anfang ist, wenn man sie gerne höret und die Klugheit lieber hat denn alle Güter. 8 Achte sie hoch, so wird sie dich erhöhen und wird dich zu Ehren machen, wo du sie herzest. 9 Sie wird dein Haupt schön schmücken und wird dich zieren mit einer hübschen Krone. 10 So höre, mein Kind, und nimm an meine Rede, so werden deiner Jahre viel werden. 11 Ich will dich den Weg der Weisheit führen, ich will dich auf rechter Bahn leiten, 12 daß, wenn du gehest, dein Gang dir nicht sauer werde, und wenn du läufst, daß du dich nicht anstoßest. 13 Fasse die Zucht, laß nicht davon; bewahre sie, denn sie ist dein Leben. 14 Komm nicht auf der Gottlosen Pfad und tritt nicht auf den Weg der Bösen. 15 Laß ihn fahren und gehe nicht drinnen; weiche von ihm und gehe vorüber! 16 Denn sie schlafen nicht, sie haben denn übel getan; und sie ruhen nicht, sie haben denn Schaden getan. 17 Denn sie nähren sich von gottlosem Brot und trinken vom Wein des Frevels. 18 Aber der Gerechten Pfad glänzet wie ein Licht, das da fortgeht, und leuchtet bis auf den vollen Tag. 19 Der Gottlosen Weg aber ist wie Dunkel und wissen nicht, wo sie fallen werden. 20 Mein Sohn, merke auf mein Wort und neige dein Ohr zu meiner Rede! 21 Laß sie nicht von deinen Augen fahren; behalte sie in deinem Herzen! 22 Denn sie sind das Leben denen, die sie finden, und gesund ihrem ganzen Leibe. 23 Behüte dein Herz mit allem Fleiß; denn daraus gehet das Leben. 24 Tu von dir den verkehrten Mund und laß das Lästermaul ferne von dir sein. 25 Laß deine Augen stracks vor sich sehen und deine Augenlider richtig vor dir hinsehen. 26 Laß deinen Fuß gleich vor sich gehen, so gehest du gewiß. 27 Wanke weder zur Rechten noch zur Linken; wende deinen Fuß vom Bösen!

Luther1912(i) 1 Höret, meine Kinder, die Zucht eures Vaters; merket auf, daß ihr lernt und klug werdet! 2 Denn ich gebe euch eine gute Lehre; verlaßt mein Gesetz nicht. 3 Denn ich war meines Vaters Sohn, ein zarter und ein einziger vor meiner Mutter. 4 Und er lehrte mich und sprach: Laß dein Herz meine Worte aufnehmen; halte meine Gebote, so wirst du leben. 5 Nimm an Weisheit, nimm an Verstand; vergiß nicht und weiche nicht von der Rede meines Mundes. 6 Verlaß sie nicht, so wird sie dich bewahren; liebe sie, so wird sie dich behüten. 7 Denn der Weisheit Anfang ist, wenn man sie gerne hört und die Klugheit lieber hat als alle Güter. 8 Achte sie hoch, so wird sie dich erhöhen, und wird dich zu Ehren bringen, wo du sie herzest. 9 Sie wird dein Haupt schön schmücken und wird dich zieren mit einer prächtigen Krone. 10 So höre, mein Kind, und nimm an meine Rede, so werden deiner Jahre viel werden. 11 Ich will dich den Weg der Weisheit führen; ich will dich auf rechter Bahn leiten, 12 daß, wenn du gehst, dein Gang dir nicht sauer werde, und wenn du läufst, daß du nicht anstoßest. 13 Fasse die Zucht, laß nicht davon; bewahre sie, denn sie ist dein Leben. 14 Komm nicht auf der Gottlosen Pfad und tritt nicht auf den Weg der Bösen. 15 Laß ihn fahren und gehe nicht darin; weiche von ihm und gehe vorüber. 16 Denn sie schlafen nicht, sie haben denn Übel getan; und ruhen nicht, sie haben den Schaden getan. 17 Denn sie nähren sich von gottlosem Brot und trinken vom Wein des Frevels. 18 Aber der Gerechten Pfad glänzt wie das Licht, das immer heller leuchtet bis auf den vollen Tag. 19 Der Gottlosen Weg aber ist wie Dunkel; sie wissen nicht, wo sie fallen werden. 20 Mein Sohn, merke auf meine Worte und neige dein Ohr zu meiner Rede. 21 Laß sie nicht von deinen Augen fahren, behalte sie in deinem Herzen. 22 Denn sie sind das Leben denen, die sie finden, und gesund ihrem ganzen Leibe. 23 Behüte dein Herz mit allem Fleiß; denn daraus geht das Leben. 24 Tue von dir den verkehrten Mund und laß das Lästermaul ferne von dir sein. 25 Laß deine Augen stracks vor sich sehen und deine Augenlider richtig vor dir hin blicken. 26 Laß deinen Fuß gleich vor sich gehen, so gehst du gewiß. 27 Wanke weder zur Rechten noch zur Linken; wende deinen Fuß vom Bösen.

Giguet(i) 1 ¶ Écoutez, enfants, l’enseignement d’un père, et soyez attentifs à connaître la sagesse. 2 Car je vous fais un cadeau précieux; ne délaissez pont ma loi. 3 J’ai été un fils docile à mon père, et cher aux yeux de ma mère. 4 Ils m’ont instruit, disantQue nos discours soient fixés dans ton cœur; garde nos préceptes; ne les oublie pas. 5 Ne méprise pas les paroles de ma bouche. 6 Ne les abandonne point, et elles s’attacheront à toi; aime-les, et elles te garderont. 7 8 Entoure-les de palissades, et elles t’exalteront; honore-les, afin qu’elles t’embrassent; 9 afin qu’elles mettent sur ta tête une couronne de grâces, et te couvrent d’une couronne de délices. 10 Écoute, mon fils, et recueille mes paroles, et les années de ta vie se multiplieront, autant que se multiplieront les voies de ta vie. 11 Car je t’enseignerai les voies de la sagesse, et je te ferai cheminer dans les droits sentiers. 12 Si tu marches, rien n’entravera tes pas; si tu cours, tu ne sentiras point la fatigue. 13 Retiens mes instructions, ne les néglige point; mais garde-les en toi-même toute ta vie. 14 ¶ Ne va pas sur la voie des impies; ne porte point envie aux voies des pervers. 15 N’approche pas du lieu où ils dresseront leur camp; éloigne-toi d’eux; hâte-toi de passer outre. 16 Car ils ne s’endormiront pas qu’ils n’aient fait quelque mal; le sommeil leur est enlevé, et ils ne reposent pas. 17 Car ils se nourrissent du pain de l’impiété, et s’enivrent du vin des pécheurs. 18 Les voies des justes brillent comme la lumière; ils marchent, et ils sont illuminés jusqu’à ce que le jour se lève. 19 Mais les voies des impies sont impures; ils ne savent pas comment ils trébuchent. 20 ¶ Mon fils, sois attentif à ma voix, et prête l’oreille à mes paroles; 21 Et pour que les fontaines de vie ne te manquent pas, garde-les en ton cœur. 22 Car elles sont la vie de ceux qui les trouvent, et la santé de leur chair. 23 Veille de toute ton attention sur ton cœur; car de là sort le principe de la vie. 24 Chasse loin de toi toute langue perverse, et repousse les lèvres iniques. 25 26 27

Fils, écoutez l'instruction d'un père et soyez attentifs pour connaître l'intelligence; 2 car je vous donne une bonne doctrine: n'abandonnez pas mon enseignement. 3 Car j'ai été un fils pour mon père, tendre et unique auprès de ma mère. 4 Il m'a enseigné et m'a dit: Que ton coeur retienne mes paroles; garde mes commandements, et tu vivras. 5 Acquiers la sagesse, acquiers l'intelligence; ne l' oublie pas, et ne te détourne pas des paroles de ma bouche. 6 Ne l'abandonne pas, et elle te gardera; aime-la, et elle te conservera. 7 Le commencement de la sagesse, c'est: Acquiers la sagesse, et, au prix de toutes tes acquisitions, acquiers l'intelligence. 8 Exalte-la, et elle t'élèvera; elle t'honorera quand tu l'auras embrassée. 9 Elle mettra sur ta tête une guirlande de grâce, elle te donnera une couronne de gloire. 10 Écoute, mon fils, et reçois mes paroles, et les années de ta vie te seront multipliées. 11 Je t'enseignerai la voie de la sagesse, je te dirigerai dans les chemins de la droiture. 12 Quand tu marcheras, tes pas ne seront pas gênés, et si tu cours, tu ne broncheras pas. 13 Tiens ferme l'instruction, ne la lâche pas; garde-la, car elle est ta vie. 14
N'entre pas dans le sentier des méchants, et ne marche pas dans la voie des iniques. 15 Eloigne-t'en, n'y passe point; détourne-t'en, et passe outre. 16 Car ils ne dormiraient pas s'ils n'avaient fait du mal, et le sommeil leur serait ôté s'ils n'avaient fait trébucher quelqu'un; 17 car ils mangent le pain de méchanceté, et ils boivent le vin des violences. 18 Mais le sentier des justes est comme la lumière resplendissante qui va croissant jusqu'à ce que le plein jour soit établi. 19 Le chemin des méchants est comme l'obscurité; ils ne savent contre quoi ils trébucheront. 20
Mon fils, sois attentif à mes paroles, incline ton oreille à mes discours. 21 Qu'ils ne s'éloignent point de tes yeux; garde-les au dedans de ton coeur; 22 car ils sont la vie de ceux qui les trouvent, et la santé de toute leur chair. 23 Garde ton coeur plus que tout ce que l'on garde, car de lui sont les issues de la vie. 24 Ecarte de toi la fausseté de la bouche, et éloigne de toi la perversité des lèvres. 25 Que tes yeux regardent droit en avant, et que tes paupières se dirigent droit devant toi. 26 Pèse le chemin de tes pieds, et que toutes tes voies soient bien réglées. 27 N'incline ni à droite ni à gauche; éloigne ton pied du mal.
Martin(i) 1 Enfants, écoutez l'instruction du père, et soyez attentifs à connaître la prudence. 2 Car je vous donne une bonne doctrine, ne laissez donc point mon enseignement. 3 Quand j'ai été fils à mon père, tendre et unique auprès de ma mère. 4 Il m'a enseigné, et m'a dit : Que ton coeur retienne mes paroles; garde mes commandements, et tu vivras. 5 Acquiers la sagesse, acquiers la prudence; n'en oublie rien, et ne te détourne point des paroles de ma bouche. 6 Ne l'abandonne point, et elle te gardera; aime-la, et elle te conservera. 7 La principale chose, c'est la sagesse; acquiers la sagesse, et sur toutes tes acquisitions, acquiers la prudence. 8 Estime-la, et elle t'exaltera; elle te glorifiera, quand tu l'auras embrassée. 9 Elle posera des grâces enfilées ensemble sur ta tête, et elle te donnera une couronne d'ornement. 10 Ecoute, mon fils, et reçois mes paroles, et les années de ta vie te seront multipliées. 11 Je t'ai enseigné le chemin de la sagesse, et je t'ai fait marcher par les sentiers de la droiture. 12 Quand tu y marcheras, ta démarche ne sera point serrée; et si tu cours, tu ne broncheras point. 13 Embrasse l'instruction, ne la lâche point, garde-la; car c'est ta vie. 14 N'entre point au sentier des méchants, et ne pose point ton pied au chemin des hommes pervers. 15 Détourne-t'en, ne passe point par là, éloigne-t'en, et passe outre. 16 Car ils ne dormiraient pas, s'ils n'avaient fait quelque mal; et le sommeil leur serait ôté, s'ils n'avaient fait tomber quelqu'un. 17 Parce qu'ils mangent le pain de méchanceté, et qu'ils boivent le vin de la violence. 18 Mais le sentier des justes est comme la lumière resplendissante, qui augmente son éclat jusqu'à ce que le jour soit en sa perfection. 19 La voie des méchants est comme l'obscurité; ils ne savent point où ils tomberont. 20 Mon fils, sois attentif à mes paroles, incline ton oreille à mes discours. 21 Qu'ils ne s'écartent point de tes yeux; garde-les dans ton coeur. 22 Car ils sont la vie de ceux qui les trouvent, et la santé de tout le corps de chacun d'eux. 23 Garde ton coeur de tout ce dont il faut se garder; car de lui procèdent les sources de la vie. 24 Eloigne de toi la perversité de la bouche, et la dépravation des lèvres. 25 Que tes yeux regardent droit, et que tes paupières dirigent ton chemin devant toi. 26 Balance le chemin de tes pieds, et que toutes tes voies soient bien dressées. 27 Ne décline ni à droite ni à gauche; détourne ton pied du mal.
Segond(i) 1 Ecoutez, mes fils, l'instruction d'un père, Et soyez attentifs, pour connaître la sagesse; 2 Car je vous donne de bons conseils: Ne rejetez pas mon enseignement. 3 J'étais un fils pour mon père, Un fils tendre et unique auprès de ma mère. 4 Il m'instruisait alors, et il me disait: Que ton coeur retienne mes paroles; Observe mes préceptes, et tu vivras. 5 Acquiers la sagesse, acquiers l'intelligence; N'oublie pas les paroles de ma bouche, et ne t'en détourne pas. 6 Ne l'abandonne pas, et elle te gardera; Aime-la, et elle te protégera. 7 Voici le commencement de la sagesse: Acquiers la sagesse, Et avec tout ce que tu possèdes acquiers l'intelligence. 8 Exalte-la, et elle t'élèvera; Elle fera ta gloire, si tu l'embrasses; 9 Elle mettra sur ta tête une couronne de grâce, Elle t'ornera d'un magnifique diadème. 10 Ecoute, mon fils, et reçois mes paroles; Et les années de ta vie se multiplieront. 11 Je te montre la voie de la sagesse, Je te conduis dans les sentiers de la droiture. 12 Si tu marches, ton pas ne sera point gêné; Et si tu cours, tu ne chancelleras point. 13 Retiens l'instruction, ne t'en dessaisis pas; Garde-la, car elle est ta vie. 14 N'entre pas dans le sentier des méchants, Et ne marche pas dans la voie des hommes mauvais. 15 Evite-la, n'y passe point; Détourne-t'en, et passe outre. 16 Car ils ne dormiraient pas s'ils n'avaient fait le mal, Le sommeil leur serait ravi s'ils n'avaient fait tomber personne; 17 Car c'est le pain de la méchanceté qu'ils mangent, C'est le vin de la violence qu'ils boivent. 18 Le sentier des justes est comme la lumière resplendissante, Dont l'éclat va croissant jusqu'au milieu du jour. 19 La voie des méchants est comme les ténèbres; Ils n'aperçoivent pas ce qui les fera tomber. 20 Mon fils, sois attentif à mes paroles, Prête l'oreille à mes discours. 21 Qu'ils ne s'éloignent pas de tes yeux; Garde-les dans le fond de ton coeur; 22 Car c'est la vie pour ceux qui les trouvent, C'est la santé pour tout leur corps. 23 Garde ton coeur plus que toute autre chose, Car de lui viennent les sources de la vie. 24 Ecarte de ta bouche la fausseté, Eloigne de tes lèvres les détours. 25 Que tes yeux regardent en face, Et que tes paupières se dirigent devant toi. 26 Considère le chemin par où tu passes, Et que toutes tes voies soient bien réglées; 27 N'incline ni à droite ni à gauche, Et détourne ton pied du mal.

SE(i) 1 Oíd, hijos, el castigo del padre; y estad atentos para que sepáis inteligencia. 2 Porque os doy buena enseñanza; no desamparéis mi ley. 3 Porque yo fui hijo de mi padre, delicado y único delante de mi madre. 4 Y él me enseñaba, y me decía: Sustente tu corazón mis razones, guarda mis mandamientos, y vivirás. 5 Adquiere sabiduría, adquiere inteligencia; no te olvides ni te apartes de las razones de mi boca; 6 no la dejes, y ella te guardará; ámala, y te conservará. 7 Sabiduría primero que todo; adquiere sabiduría; y ante toda tu posesión adquiere inteligencia. 8 Crece en ella, y ella te engrandecerá; ella te honrará, cuando tú la hubieres abrazado. 9 Dará a tu cabeza aumento de gracia; corona de hermosura te entregará. 10 Oye, hijo mío, y recibe mis razones; y se te multiplicarán años de vida. 11 Por el camino de la sabiduría te he encaminado, y por veredas derechas te he hecho andar. 12 Cuando anduvieres por ellas no se estrecharán tus pasos; y si corrieres, no tropezarás. 13 Ten el castigo, no lo dejes; guárdalo, porque eso es tu vida. 14 No entres por la vereda de los impíos, ni vayas por el camino de los malos. 15 Desampárala, no pases por ella; apártate de ella, y pasa. 16 Porque no duermen ellos, si no hicieren mal; y pierden su sueño, si no han hecho caer. 17 Porque comen pan de maldad, y beben vino de robos. 18 Mas la vereda de los justos es como la luz del lucero, que va en aumento hasta que el día es perfecto. 19 El camino de los impíos es como la oscuridad; no saben en qué tropiezan. 20 Hijo mío, está atento a mis palabras; inclina tu oído a mis razones. 21 No se aparten de tus ojos; guárdalas en medio de tu corazón. 22 Porque son vida a los que las hallan, y medicina a toda su carne. 23 Sobre toda cosa guardada, guarda tu corazón; porque de él mana la vida. 24 Aparta de ti la perversidad de la boca, y aleja de ti la iniquidad de labios. 25 Tus ojos miren lo recto, y tus párpados enderecen tu camino delante de ti. 26 Pesa la vereda de tus pies, y todos tus caminos sean ordenados. 27 No te desvíes a diestra, ni a siniestra; aparta tu pie del mal.

Albanian(i) 1 Dëgjoni, o bij, mësimet e një ati dhe tregoni kujdes që të mësoni të gjykoni, 2 sepse ju jap një doktrinë të mirë; mos braktisni ligjin tim. 3 Kur isha ende fëmijë pranë atit tim, njomëzak dhe i dashur në sytë e nënes sime, 4 ai më mësonte dhe më thoshte: "Zemra jote të kujtojë fjalët e mia; ruaji urdhërimet e mia dhe do të jetosh. 5 Fito dituri, fito gjykim; mos i harro fjalët e gojës sime dhe mos u largo prej tyre; 6 mos e braktis diturinë dhe ajo do të të mbrojë; duaje, sepse ajo do të të ndihmojë. 7 Dituria është gjëja më e rëndësishme; prandaj fito diturinë. Edhe sikur të humbasësh ato që ke, fito diturinë. 8 Përlëvdoje dhe ajo do të të lartësojë, ajo do të të japë lavdi, po qe se ti e përvehtëson. 9 Ajo do të të vërë mbi kokën tënde një stoli prej nuri, do të të rrethojë me një kurorë lavdie". 10 Dëgjo, biri im, pranoji fjalët e mia dhe vitet e jetës sate do të shumohen. 11 Të kam mësuar në rrugën e diturisë, të kam udhëhequr nëpër shtigjet e ndershmërisë. 12 Kur do të ecësh, hapat e tua nuk do të pengohen; kur do të vraposh, nuk do të pengohesh. 13 Rroke mirë këtë mësim, mos e lër që të shkojë kot; ruaje, sepse ai është jeta jote. 14 Mos hyr në shtegun e të pabesëve dhe mos ec në rrugën e njerëzve të këqij; 15 evitoje atë, mos kalo nëpër të; largoju prej saj dhe shko tutje. 16 Sepse ata nuk mund të flenë, po të mos kenë bërë të keqen; gjumi i tyre zhduket po të jetë se nuk kanë rrëzuar dikë; 17 ata hanë bukën e paudhësisë dhe pinë verën e dhunës. 18 Por shtegu i të drejtëve është si drita e agimit, që shkëlqen gjithnjë e më mirë deri sa të bëhet ditë e plotë. 19 Rruga e të pabesëve është si terri; ata nuk shohin atë që do t'i rrëzojë. 20 Biri im, trego kujdes për fjalët e mia, dëgjo thëniet e mia; 21 mos u largofshin kurrë nga sytë e tu, ruaji në qendër të zemrës sate; 22 sepse janë jetë për ata që i gjejnë, shërim për të gjithë trupin e tyre. 23 Ruaje zemrën tënde me shumë kujdes, sepse nga ajo dalin burimet jetës. 24 Hiq dorë nga e folura me hile dhe largo prej teje buzët e çoroditura. 25 Sytë e tu le të shohin drejt dhe qepallat e tua të synojnë drejt para teje. 26 Sheshoje shtegun e këmbëve të tua, dhe të gjitha rrugët e tua qofshin të caktuara mirë. 27 Mos u shmang as në të djathtë as në të majtë; tërhiqe këmbën tënde nga e keqja.

Не оставляйте заповеди моей. 3 Ибо и я был сын у отца моего, нежно любимый и единственный у матери моей, 4 и он учил меня и говорил мне: да удержит сердце твое слова мои; храни заповеди мои, и живи. 5 Приобретай мудрость, приобретай разум: не забывай этого и не уклоняйся от слов уст моих. 6 Не оставляй ее, и она будет охранять тебя; люби ее, и она будет оберегать тебя. 7 Главное – мудрость: приобретай мудрость, и всем имением твоим приобретай разум. 8 Высоко цени ее, и она возвысит тебя; она прославит тебя, если ты прилепишься к ней; 9 возложит на голову твою прекрасный венок, доставит тебе великолепный венец. 10 Слушай, сын мой, и прими слова мои, – и умножатся тебе лета жизни. 11 Я указываю тебе путь мудрости, веду тебя по стезям прямым. 12 Когда пойдешь, не будет стеснен ход твой, и когдапобежишь, не споткнешься. 13 Крепко держись наставления, не оставляй, храни его, потому что оно – жизнь твоя. 14 Не вступай на стезю нечестивых и не ходи по пути злых; 15 оставь его, не ходи по нему, уклонись от него и пройди мимо; 16 потому что они не заснут, если не сделают зла; пропадает сон у них, если они не доведут кого до падения; 17 ибо они едят хлеб беззакония и пьют вино хищения. 18 Стезя праведных – как светило лучезарное, которое более и более светлеет до полного дня. 19 Путь же беззаконных – как тьма; они не знают, обо что споткнутся. 20 Сын мой! словам моим внимай, и к речам моим приклони ухо твое; 21 да не отходят они от глаз твоих; храни их внутри сердца твоего: 22 потому что они жизнь для того, кто нашел их, и здравие для всего тела его. 23 Больше всего хранимого храни сердце твое, потому что из него источники жизни. 24 Отвергни от себя лживость уст, и лукавство языка удали от себя. 25 Глаза твои пусть прямо смотрят, и ресницы твои да направлены будут прямо пред тобою. 26 Обдумай стезю для ноги твоей, и все пути твои да будут тверды. 27 Не уклоняйся ни направо, ни налево; удали ногу твою от зла,

Bulgarian(i) 1 Послушайте, деца, бащина поука и внимавайте, за да знаете разум, 2 понеже ви давам добро учение — не оставяйте наставлението ми. 3 Защото и аз бях син на баща си, гален и единствен на майка си, 4 и той ме наставляваше и ми казваше: Нека сърцето ти държи думите ми! Пази заповедите ми и живей! 5 Придобий мъдрост, придобий разум! Не забравяй и не се отклонявай от думите на устата ми. 6 Не я оставяй и тя ще те пази; обичай я и ще те закриля. 7 Началото е мъдрост; придобивай мъдрост и с всичко придобито придобивай разум. 8 Издигай я, и ще те възвиси; ще ти донесе почит, когато я прегърнеш. 9 Ще положи на главата ти благодатен венец; ще ти даде славна корона. 10 Слушай, сине мой, и приеми думите ми, и ще ти се умножат години на живот. 11 Наставлявах те в пътя на мъдростта, водих те по прави пътища. 12 Когато ходиш, стъпките ти няма да бъдат стеснени и когато тичаш, няма да се спънеш. 13 Хвани се здраво за поуката, не я изпускай, пази я, защото тя е животът ти. 14 Не влизай в пътеката на безбожните и не ходи в пътя на злите; 15 отбягвай го, не минавай по него, отвърни се от него и продължи. 16 Защото те не заспиват, ако не сторят зло, и сън не ги хваща, ако не спънат някого, 17 понеже ядат хляба на нечестието и пият виното на насилието. 18 Но пътеката на праведните е като светлата зора, която свети все по-ярко, докато стане съвършен ден. 19 Пътят на безбожните е като мрак — те не знаят от какво се спъват. 20 Сине мой, внимавай в думите ми, приклони ухото си към моите слова. 21 Да не се отдалечат от очите ти, пази ги вътре в сърцето си, 22 защото те са живот за тези, които ги намират, и изцеление за цялото им тяло. 23 Повече от всичко, което пазиш, пази сърцето си, защото от него са изворите на живота. 24 Отмахни от себе си нечестни уста и отдалечи от себе си лъжливи устни. 25 Нека очите ти гледат напред и нека погледите ти бъдат насочени право пред теб. 26 Внимавай в пътя на краката си и всичките ти пътища нека бъдат уредени. 27 Не се отклонявай нито надясно, нито наляво; отклони крака си от зло.
Croatian(i) 1 Slušajte, djeco, pouku očevu i pazite kako biste spoznali mudrost, 2 jer dobar vam nauk dajem: ne prezrite moga naputka. 3 I ja sam bio sin u svoga oca i nježan jedinac u svoje matere; 4 i mene je on učio i govorio mi: "Zadrži moje riječi u svojem srcu, poštuj moje zapovijedi i živjet ćeš. 5 Steci mudrost, steci razbor, ne smeći ih s uma i ne odstupi od riječi mojih usta. 6 Ne ostavljaj je i čuvat će te; ljubi je i obranit će te. 7 Početak je mudrosti: steci sebi mudrost i svim svojim imanjem steci razboritost. 8 Veličaj je i uzvisit će te; donijet će ti čast kad je prigrliš. 9 Stavit će ti ljupki vijenac na glavu, i obdarit će te krasnom krunom." 10 Poslušaj, sine moj, primi moje riječi i umnožit će se godine tvojeg života. 11 Poučih te putu mudrosti, navratih te na prave staze; 12 neće ti se zapletati koraci kad staneš hoditi; potrčiš li, nećeš posrnuti. 13 Čvrsto se drži pouke, ne puštaj je, čuvaj je, jer ona ti je život. 14 Ne idi stazom opakih i ne stupaj putem zlikovaca. 15 Ostavi ga, ne hodi njime; kloni ga se i zaobiđi ga. 16 Jer oni ne spavaju ako ne učine zla, i san im ne dolazi ako koga ne obore. 17 Jer jedu kruh opačine i piju vino nasilja. 18 A pravednička je staza kao svjetlost svanuća, koja je sve jasnija do potpunog dana. 19 A put je opakih kao mrkli mrak: ne znaju o što će se spotaknuti. 20 Sine moj, pazi na moje riječi, prigni uho svoje mojim besjedama. 21 Ne gubi ih nikad iz očiju, pohrani ih usred srca svoga. 22 Jer su život onima koji ih nalaze i ozdravljenje svemu tijelu njihovu. 23 A svrh svega, čuvaj svoje srce, jer iz njega izvire život. 24 Drži daleko od sebe lažna usta i udalji od sebe usne prijevarne. 25 Nek' tvoje oči gledaju u lice i neka ti je pogled uvijek prav. 26 Pazi na stazu kojom kročiš i neka ti svi putovi budu pouzdani. 27 Ne skreći ni desno ni lijevo, drži svoj korak daleko oda zla.
BKR(i) 1 Poslouchejte, synové, učení otcova, a pozorujte, abyste poznali rozumnost. 2 Nebo naučení dobré dávám vám, neopouštějtež zákona mého. 3 Když jsem byl syn u otce svého mladičký, a jediný při matce své, 4 On vyučoval mne a říkal mi: Ať se chopí výmluvností mých srdce tvé, ostříhej přikázaní mých, a živ budeš. 5 Nabuď moudrosti, nabuď rozumnosti; nezapomínej, ani se uchyluj od řečí úst mých. 6 Neopouštějž jí, a bude tě ostříhati; miluj ji, a zachová tě. 7 Předně moudrosti, moudrosti nabývej, a za všecko jmění své zjednej rozumnost. 8 Vyvyšuj ji, a zvýšíť tě; poctí tě, když ji přijmeš. 9 Přidá hlavě tvé příjemnosti, korunou krásnou obdaří tě. 10 Slyš, synu můj, a přijmi řeči mé, a tak rozmnoží se léta života tvého. 11 Cestě moudrosti učím tě, vedu tě stezkami přímými. 12 Když choditi budeš, nebude ssoužen krok tvůj, a poběhneš-li, neustrčíš se. 13 Chopiž se učení, nepouštěj, ostříhej ho, nebo ono jest život tvůj. 14 Na stezku bezbožných nevcházej, a nekráčej cestou zlostníků. 15 Opusť ji, nechoď po ní, uchyl se od ní, a pomiň jí. 16 Neboť nespí, leč zlost provedou; anobrž zahánín bývá sen jejich, dokudž ku pádu nepřivodí, 17 Proto že jedí chléb bezbožnosti, a víno loupeží pijí. 18 Ale stezka spravedlivých jako světlo jasné, kteréž rozmáhá se, a svítí až do pravého dne. 19 Cesta pak bezbožných jako mrákota; nevědí, na čem se ustrčiti mohou. 20 Synu můj, slov mých pozoruj, k řečem mým nakloň ucha svého. 21 Nechať neodcházejí od očí tvých, ostříhej jich u prostřed srdce svého. 22 Nebo životem jsou těm, kteříž je nalézají, i všemu tělu jejich lékařstvím. 23 Přede vším, čehož se stříci sluší, ostříhej srdce svého, nebo z něho pochází život. 24 Odlož od sebe převrácenost úst, a zlost rtů vzdal od sebe. 25 Oči tvé ať k dobrým věcem patří, a víčka tvá ať přímě hledí před tebou. 26 Zvaž stezku noh svých, a všecky cesty tvé ať jsou spraveny. 27 Neuchyluj se na pravo ani na levo, odvrať nohu svou od zlého.

  5 H7069 要得 H2451 智慧 H7069 ，要得 H998 聪明 H7911 ，不可忘记 H5186 ，也不可偏离 H6310 我口中 H561 的言语。
  6 H5800 不可离弃 H8104 智慧，智慧就护卫你 H157 ；要爱他 H5341 ，他就保守你。
  7 H2451 智慧 H7225 为首 H7069 ；所以，要得 H2451 智慧 H7075 。在你一切所得 H7069 之内必得 H998 聪明.（或译：用你一切所得的去换聪明）。
  8 H5549 高举 H7311 智慧，他就使你高陞 H2263 ；怀抱 H3513 智慧，他就使你尊荣。
  9 H3880 H2580 他必将华冠 H5414 加在 H7218 你头上 H8597 ，把荣 H5850 冕 H4042 交给你。
  10 H1121 我儿 H8085 ，你要听 H3947 受 H561 我的言语 H7235 ，就必延 H8141 年 H2416 益寿。
  11 H3384 我已指教你 H2451 走智慧 H1870 的道 H1869 ，引导你 H3476 行正直 H4570 的路。
  12 H3212 你行走 H6806 ，脚步 H3334 必不至狭窄 H7323 ；你奔跑 H3782 ，也不至跌倒。
  13 H2388 要持定 H4148 训诲 H7503 ，不可放松 H5341 ；必当谨守 H2416 ，因为他是你的生命。

  15 H6544 要躲避 H5674 ，不可经过 H7847 ；要转身 H5674 而去。
  16 H7489 这等人若不行恶 H3462 ，不得睡觉 H3782 H3782 ；不使人跌倒 H8142 ，睡卧 H1497 不安；
  17 H3898 因为他们以奸恶吃 H3899 饼 H2555 ，以强暴 H8354 喝 H3196 酒。
  18 H6662 但义人 H734 的路 H5051 好象黎明的 H216 光 H1980 ，越照 H215 越明 H3559 H3117 ，直到日午。
  19 H7563 恶人 H1870 的道 H653 好象幽暗 H3045 ，自己不知 H3782 因甚么跌倒。
  20 H1121 我儿 H7181 ，要留心 H1697 听我的言词 H5186 ，侧 H241 耳 H561 听我的话语，

  22 H4672 因为得着他的 H2416 ，就得了生命 H4832 ，又得了医 H1320 全体的良葯。
  23 H5341 你要保守 H3820 你心 H4929 ，胜过保守一切（或译：你要切切 H2416 保守你心），因为一生 H8444 的果效是由心发出。
  24 H5493 你要除掉 H6143 邪僻的 H6310 口 H7368 ，弃绝 H3891 乖谬的 H8193 嘴。
  25 H5869 你的眼目 H5227 要向前正 H5027 看 H6079 ；你的眼睛（原文是皮 H3474 ）当向前直观。
  26 H6424 要修平 H7272 你脚 H4570 下的路 H3559 ，坚定 H1870 你一切的道。
  27 H5186 不可偏向 H8040 左 H3225 右 H7272 ；要使你的脚 H5493 离开 H7451 邪恶。

Finnish(i) 1 Kuulkaat, lapseni, isänne kuritusta, ja ottakaa vaari, oppiaksenne ja viisaammaksi tullaksenne. 2 Sillä minä annan teille hyvän opetuksen; älkööt hyljätkö minun lakiani. 3 Sillä minä olin isäni poika, hoikka ja ainoa äidilläni. 4 Ja hän opetti minua, ja sanoi minulle; anna sydämes ottaa minun sanani vastaan: pidä minun käskyni, niin sinä elää saat. 5 Osta viisaus, osat ymmärrys: älä unohda, älä myös poikkee minun puheestani. 6 Älä häntä hylkää, niin hän sinut kätkee: rakasta häntä, niin hän sinua varjelee. 7 Sillä viisauden alku on, ostaa viisautta, ja kaikella saadullas ostaa taitoa. 8 Pidä häntä korkiassa kunniassa, niin hän sinua korottaa, ja saattaa kunniaan, jos sinä häntä rakastat. 9 Hän sinun pääs jalosti kaunistaa, ja kunnioittaa sinua ihanalla kruunulla. 10 Kuule siis, poikani, ja ota minun puheeni, niin ikäs vuotta on monta. 11 Minä johdatan sinua viisauden tielle, ja saatan sinua käymään oikialla retkellä, 12 Niin että koskas vaellat, ei sinun käymises ole ahdas; ja koskas juokset, niin et sinä loukkaa sinuas. 13 Pidä kuritus, älä hylkää häntä: kätke häntä; sillä hän on sinun elämäs. 14 Älä mene jumalattomain askelille, ja älä astu pahain tielle; 15 Jätä se pois, ja älä käy siinä; karta sitä, ja mene ohitse. 16 Sillä ei he makaa, jollei he ole pahoin tehneet, eikä lepää, jollei he ole vahinkoa tehneet. 17 Sillä he syövät jumalattomuuden leipää, ja juovat vääryyden viinaa. 18 Mutta vanhurskasten retki paistaa niinkuin valkeus, käy edes, ja valistaa hamaan isoon päivään asti. 19 Mutta jumalattomain tie on niinkuin pimeys; ja ei he tiedä, kussa he lankeevat. 20 Poikani, ota vaari sanoistani, ja kallista korvas puheisiini. 21 Älä niiden anna tulla pois silmistäs: pidä ne sydämessäs. 22 Sillä ne ovat niiden elämä, jotka niitä ovat löytäneet, ja ovat terveelliset koko heidän ruumiillensa. 23 Varjele sydämes kaikella ahkeruudella: sillä siitä elämä tulee. 24 Pane pois paha suu, ja väärät huulet anna olla sinustas kaukana. 25 Katsokoon silmäs oikein eteensä, ja sinun silmäs laudat olkoot oikiat edessäs. 26 Koettele jalkais askeleet, niin kaikki sinun ties vahvistuvat. 27 Älä poikkee oikialle eli vasemmalle puolelle: tempaa jalkas pois pahuudesta.
FinnishPR(i) 1 Kuulkaa, lapset, isän kuritusta ja kuunnelkaa oppiaksenne ymmärrystä. 2 Sillä minä annan teille hyvän neuvon, älkää hyljätkö minun opetustani. 3 Olinhan minäkin isäni poika, hento ja äitini ainokainen. 4 Ja isä minua opetti ja sanoi minulle: "Pitäköön sydämesi minun sanoistani kiinni, noudata minun käskyjäni, niin sinä saat elää. 5 Hanki viisautta, hanki ymmärrystä, älä sitä unhota, älä väisty pois minun suuni sanoista. 6 Älä sitä hylkää, niin se varjelee sinua; rakasta sitä, niin se sinua suojaa. 7 Viisauden alku on: hanki viisautta, ja kaikella muulla hankkimallasi hanki ymmärrystä. 8 Anna sille korkea arvo, niin se sinut korottaa, se kunnioittaa sinua, jos sen syliisi suljet; 9 se panee päähäsi ihanan seppeleen ja lahjoittaa sinulle kauniin kruunun." 10 Kuule, poikani, ja ota sanani varteen, niin elämäsi vuodet enentyvät. 11 Minä neuvon sinut viisauden tielle, ohjaan sinut oikeille teille. 12 Käydessäsi eivät askeleesi ahtaalle joudu; juostessasi et kompastu. 13 Tartu kiinni kuritukseen äläkä hellitä; säilytä se, sillä se on sinun elämäsi. 14 Älä lähde jumalattomien polulle, älä astu pahojen tielle. 15 Anna sen olla, älä mene sille, poikkea pois ja mene ohitse. 16 Sillä eivät he saa nukkua, elleivät pahaa tee; se riistää heiltä unen, elleivät ole ketään kaataneet. 17 Niin he syövät leipänään jumalattomuutta, juovat viininään väkivallan tekoja. 18 Mutta vanhurskasten polku on kuin aamurusko, joka kirkastuu kirkastumistaan sydänpäivään saakka. 19 Jumalattomain tie on kuin pimeys: eivät he tiedä, mihin kompastuvat. 20 Poikani, kuuntele minun puhettani, kallista korvasi minun sanoilleni. 21 Älkööt ne väistykö silmistäsi, kätke ne sydämesi sisimpään; 22 sillä ne ovat elämä sille, joka ne löytää, ja lääke koko hänen ruumiillensa. 23 Yli kaiken varottavan varjele sydämesi, sillä sieltä elämä lähtee. 24 Poista itsestäsi suun kavaluus, ja karkoita luotasi huulten vääryys. 25 Katsokoot sinun silmäsi suoraan, eteenpäin olkoon katseesi luotu. 26 Tasoita polku jaloillesi, ja kaikki sinun tiesi olkoot vakaat. 27 Älä poikkea oikeaan, älä vasempaan, väistä jalkasi pahasta.

Louvri zòrèy nou pou nou ka gen konprann. 2 Pa janm bliye anyen nan sa m'ap moutre nou la a: Se bon konsèy m'ap ban nou. 3 Lè mwen te timoun piti lakay papa m', lè sa a mwen te sèl pitit manman mwen. 4 Papa m' t'ap moutre m' anpil bagay. Li te konn di m': Kenbe pawòl mwen nan kè ou. Fè sa m'ap di ou fè, konsa w'a viv. 5 Chache gen konesans ak bon konprann. Pa janm bliye sa m'ap di ou la a. Pa vire do ba yo. 6 Pa lage konesans ou.

Nenpòt kisa ou ka genyen, bay li pou ou vin gen konprann. 8 renmen konesans, l'ap fè ou mache tèt wo. Kenbe l', pa lage l'. L'a fè yo respekte ou. 9 Se va yon bèl bagay pou ou, tankou yon kouwòn sou tèt ou. Se va yon lwanj pou ou kote ou pase. 10 Koute sa m'ap di ou, pitit mwen. Pa bliye sa m'ap moutre ou la a, konsa w'a viv lontan. 11 Mwen moutre ou jan pou ou viv ak bon konprann.

Pa kite l' chape anba men ou, se tout lavi ou. 14 Pa fè menm chemen ak mechan yo. Pa swiv egzanp moun ki deprave yo. 15 Pa fè sa, pa pran chemen sa yo menm. Refize fè tankou yo, fè chemen pa ou. 16 Mechan yo p'ap dòmi toutotan yo pa fè sa ki mal. Dòmi pa ka pran yo si yo pa rive fè sa yo vle fè a. 17 Se nan fè mechanste yo jwenn manje pou yo manje. Se nan fè moun mal yo jwenn diven pou yo bwè. 18 Chemen moun k'ap mache dwat yo tankou solèy k'ap leve. Chak lè, l'ap vin pi klere jouk li fin jou nèt. 19 Chemen moun mechan yo fè nwa kou lannwit. Yo pa ka wè sou kisa y'ap bite. 20 Pitit mwen, louvri lespri ou pou ou konprann byen sa m'ap di ou la a.

Kenbe je ou fikse sou chemen ki dwat devan ou lan. 26 Chache konnen byen sa w'ap fè. Konsa, tou sa w'ap fè ap mache byen pou ou. 27 Pa vire ni adwat ni agoch. Pa lage kò ou nan fè sa ki mal.
Hungarian(i) 1 Halljátok meg, fiaim, atyátok erkölcsi tanítását, és figyelmezzetek az értelemnek megtudására. 2 Mert jó tanulságot adok néktek; az én tudományomat el ne hagyjátok. 3 Mert én atyámnak fia voltam, gyenge és egyetlenegy az én anyám elõtt. 4 Tehát tanított engem, és mondá nékem: tartsa meg az én beszédemet a te elméd, hogy megtartván az én parancsolatimat, élj; 5 Szerezz bölcseséget, szerezz eszességet; ne felejtkezzél el, se el ne hajolj az én számnak beszéditõl. 6 Ne hagyd el azt, és megtart téged; szeresd azt, és megõriz téged. 7 A bölcseség kezdete [ez:] szerezz bölcseséget, és minden keresményedbõl szerezz értelmet. 8 Magasztald fel azt, és felmagasztal téged; tiszteltté tesz téged, ha hozzád öleled azt. 9 Ád a te fejednek kedvességnek koszorúját; igen szép ékes koronát ád néked. 10 Hallgasd, fiam, és vedd be az én beszédimet; így sokasulnak meg néked a te életednek esztendei. 11 Bölcseségnek útára tanítottalak téged, vezettelek téged az igazságnak ösvényin. 12 Mikor jársz, semmi nem szorítja meg a te járásodat; és ha futsz, nem ütközöl meg. 13 Ragaszkodjál az erkölcsi tanításhoz, ne hagyd el; õrizd meg azt, mert az a te életed. 14 A hitetleneknek útjára ne menj, se ne járj a gonoszok ösvényén. 15 Hagyd el, át ne menj rajta; térj el tõle, és menj tovább. 16 Mert nem alhatnak azok, ha gonoszt nem cselekesznek: és kimegy szemükbõl az álom, ha [mást] romlásra nem juttatnak. 17 Mert az istentelenségnek étkét eszik, és az erõszaktételnek borát iszszák. 18 Az igazak ösvénye pedig olyan, mint a hajnal világossága, mely [minél tovább] halad, [annál] világosabb lesz, a teljes délig. 19 Az istentelenek útja pedig olyan, mint a homály, nem tudják miben ütköznek meg. 20 Fiam, az én szavaimra figyelmezz, az én beszédimre hajtsad füledet. 21 Ne távozzanak el a te szemeidtõl, tartsd meg ezeket a te elmédben. 22 Mert életök ezek azoknak, a kik megnyerik, és egész testöknek egészség. 23 Minden féltett dolognál jobban õrizd meg szívedet, mert abból indul ki [minden] élet. 24 Vesd el tõled a száj hamisságát, és az ajkak álnokságát távoztasd el magadtól. 25 A te szemeid elõre nézzenek, és szemöldökid egyenest magad elé irányuljanak. 26 Egyengesd el lábaid ösvényit, s minden te útaid állhatatosak legyenek. 27 Ne térj jobbra, se balra, fordítsd el a te lábadat a gonosztól.
Indonesian(i) 1 Hai anak-anak, dengarkanlah nasihat ayahmu! Perhatikanlah itu, maka engkau akan menjadi arif. 2 Yang kuajarkan kepadamu ini baik, sebab itu janganlah kau meremehkannya. 3 Ketika aku masih kecil, anak tunggal orang tuaku, 4 aku diajar oleh ayahku. Ia berkata, "Ingatlah akan nasihat-nasihatku, janganlah sekali-kali kau melupakannya. Jalankanlah petunjuk-petunjukku, supaya hidupmu bahagia. 5 Jadilah bijaksana dan cerdas! Ingatlah selalu akan nasihat-nasihatku dan janganlah membuangnya." 6 Hargailah hikmat, maka hikmat akan melindungimu; cintailah dia maka ia akan menjaga engkau agar tetap aman. 7 Hal terpenting yang harus pertama-tama kaulakukan ialah berusaha menjadi bijaksana. Apa pun yang kaukejar, yang terutama ialah berusahalah untuk mendapat pengertian. 8 Junjunglah hikmat, maka engkau akan ditinggikan olehnya. Rangkullah dia, maka ia akan mendatangkan kehormatan kepadamu. 9 Ia akan memberikan kepadamu karangan bunga yang elok untuk menjadi mahkotamu. 10 Dengarkan aku, anakku! Perhatikanlah baik-baik nasihat-nasihatku, maka umurmu akan panjang. 11 Aku sudah mengajarkan hikmat kepadamu dan menunjukkan cara hidup yang benar. 12 Kalau engkau hidup demikian, maka engkau tidak akan terhalang pada waktu berjalan, dan tak akan tersandung pada waktu berlari. 13 Ingatlah selalu akan ajaran yang sudah kauterima daripadaku. Jagalah itu baik-baik, sebab dengan ajaran itu hidupmu akan berhasil. 14 Jangan menuruti cara hidup orang jahat, dan jangan meniru perbuatan mereka. 15 Janganlah menaruh perhatianmu kepada mereka. Jauhilah mereka dan jalanlah terus! 16 Orang jahat tidak dapat tidur sebelum melakukan yang tidak baik. Mereka tidak mengantuk sebelum mencelakakan orang lain. 17 Kejahatan dan kekejaman adalah seperti makanan dan minuman bagi mereka. 18 Jalan orang jahat gelap seperti kelamnya malam. Mereka tersandung dan jatuh tanpa mengetahuinya. Sebaliknya, jalan yang dilalui orang baik adalah seperti terbitnya matahari; makin lama makin terang, sampai akhirnya menjadi terang benderang. 19 (4:18) 20 Perhatikanlah kata-kataku, anakku! Dengarkan nasihat-nasihatku. 21 Janganlah membuangnya, melainkan simpanlah selalu di dalam hatimu. 22 Orang yang memahaminya akan hidup dan menjadi sehat. 23 Jagalah hatimu baik-baik, sebab hatimu menentukan jalan hidupmu. 24 Janganlah sekali-kali mengucapkan sesuatu yang tidak benar. Jauhkanlah ucapan-ucapan dusta dan kata-kata yang dimaksud untuk menyesatkan orang. 25 Hendaklah wajahmu memancarkan kejujuran hatimu; tak perlu engkau berlaku seolah-olah ada udang di balik batu. 26 Pikirlah baik-baik sebelum berbuat, maka engkau akan berhasil dalam segala usahamu. 27 Jauhilah yang jahat, dan hiduplah dengan jujur. Janganlah sekali-kali menyimpang dari jalan yang benar.
Italian(i) 1 FIGLIUOLI, ascoltate l’ammaestramento del padre; E siate attenti, per conoscer la prudenza. 2 Perciocchè io vi ho data buona dottrina, Non lasciate la mia legge. 3 Perciocchè io ancora sono stato figliuol di mio padre, Tenero, ed unico appresso mia madre. 4 Ed esso mi ammaestrava, e mi diceva: Il tuo cuore ritenga le mie parole; Osserva i miei comandamenti, e tu viverai. 5 Acquista sapienza, acquista prudenza; Non dimenticare i detti della mia bocca, e non rivolgertene indietro. 6 Non abbandonar la sapienza, ed ella ti preserverà; Amala, ed ella ti guarderà. 7 La sapienza è la principal cosa; acquista la sapienza; Ed al prezzo di tutti i tuoi beni, acquista la prudenza. 8 Esaltala, ed ella ti innalzerà; Ella ti glorificherà, quando tu l’avrai abbracciata. 9 Ella ti metterà in sul capo un fregio di grazia; E ti darà una corona d’ornamento. 10 Ascolta, figliuol mio, e ricevi i miei detti; Ed anni di vita ti saranno moltiplicati. 11 Io ti ho ammaestrato nella via della sapienza; Io ti ho inviato ne’ sentieri della dirittura. 12 Quando tu camminerai, i tuoi passi non saran ristretti; E se tu corri, tu non incapperai. 13 Attienti all’ammaestramento, non lasciarlo; Guardalo, perciocchè esso è la tua vita. 14 Non entrare nel sentiero degli empi; E non camminar per la via de’ malvagi. 15 Schifala, non passar per essa; Stornatene, e passa oltre. 16 Perciocchè essi non possono dormire, se non hanno fatto qualche male; E il sonno s’invola loro, se non hanno fatto cader qualcuno. 17 Conciossiachè mangino il pane dell’empietà, E bevano il vino delle violenze. 18 Ma il sentiero de’ giusti è come la luce che spunta, La quale va vie più risplendendo, finchè sia chiaro giorno. 19 La via degli empi è come una caligine; Essi non sanno in che incappano. 20 Figliuol mio, attendi alle mie parole; Inchina l’orecchio tuo a’ miei detti. 21 Non dipartansi quelli giammai dagli occhi tuoi; Guardali in mezzo del tuo cuore; 22 Perciocchè son vita a quelli che li trovano, E sanità a tutta la lor carne. 23 Sopra ogni guardia, guarda il tuo cuore; Perciocchè da esso procede la vita. 24 Rimuovi da te la perversità della bocca, Ed allontana da te la perversità delle labbra. 25 Gli occhi tuoi riguardino diritto davanti a te, E le tue palpebre dirizzino la lor mira dinanzi a te. 26 Considera attentamente il sentiero de’ tuoi piedi, E sieno addirizzate tutte le tue vie. 27 Non dichinar nè a destra, nè a sinistra; Rimuovi il tuo piè dal male.
ItalianRiveduta(i) 1 Figliuoli, ascoltate l’istruzione di un padre, e state attenti a imparare il discernimento; 2 perché io vi do una buona dottrina; non abbandonate il mio insegnamento. 3 Quand’ero ancora fanciullo presso mio padre, tenero ed unico presso mia madre, 4 egli mi ammaestrava e mi diceva: "Il tuo cuore ritenga le mie parole; osserva i miei comandamenti, e vivrai. 5 Acquista sapienza, acquista intelligenza; non dimenticare le parole della mia bocca, e non te ne sviare; 6 non abbandonare la sapienza, ed essa ti custodirà; amala, ed essa ti proteggerà. 7 Il principio della sapienza è: Acquista la sapienza. Sì, a costo di quanto possiedi, acquista l’intelligenza. 8 Esaltala, ed essa t’innalzerà; essa ti coprirà di gloria, quando l’avrai abbracciata. 9 Essa ti metterà sul capo una corona di grazia, ti farà dono d’un magnifico diadema". 10 Ascolta, figliuol mio, ricevi le mie parole, e anni di vita ti saranno moltiplicati. 11 Io ti mostro la via della sapienza, t’avvio per i sentieri della rettitudine. 12 Se cammini, i tuoi passi non saran raccorciati; e se corri, non inciamperai. 13 Afferra saldamente l’istruzione, non la lasciar andare; serbala, perch’essa è la tua vita. 14 Non entrare nel sentiero degli empi, e non t’inoltrare per la via de’ malvagi; 15 schivala, non passare per essa; allontanatene, e va’ oltre. 16 Poiché essi non posson dormire se non han fatto del male, e il sonno è loro tolto se non han fatto cader qualcuno. 17 Essi mangiano il pane dell’empietà, e bevono il vino della violenza; 18 ma il sentiero dei giusti è come la luce che spunta e va vie più risplendendo, finché sia giorno perfetto. 19 La via degli empi è come il buio; essi non scorgono ciò che li farà cadere. 20 Figliuol mio, sta’ attento alle mie parole, inclina l’orecchio ai miei detti; 21 non si dipartano mai dai tuoi occhi, serbali nel fondo del cuore; 22 poiché sono vita per quelli che li trovano, e salute per tutto il loro corpo. 23 Custodisci il tuo cuore più d’ogni altra cosa, poiché da esso procedono le sorgenti della vita. 24 Rimuovi da te la perversità della bocca, e allontana da te la falsità delle labbra. 25 Gli occhi tuoi guardino bene in faccia, e le tue palpebre si dirigano dritto davanti a te. 26 Appiana il sentiero dei tuoi piedi, e tutte le tue vie siano ben preparate. 27 Non piegare né a destra né a sinistra, ritira il tuo piede dal male.

Lithuanian(i) 1 Vaikai, klausykite tėvo pamokymo. Būkite atidūs, kad įgytumėte supratimo. 2 Aš duodu jums gerą mokymą, neapleiskite mano įstatymo. 3 Aš buvau tėvo sūnus, mylimas ir vienintelis savo motinos akyse. 4 Jis mokė mane ir sakė: “Išlaikyk širdyje mano žodžius, laikykis mano įsakymų ir būsi gyvas. 5 Įsigyk išminties, įsigyk supratimo. Neužmiršk mano burnos žodžių ir nenukrypk nuo jų. 6 Neapleisk išminties, ir ji globos tave; mylėk ją, ir ji saugos tave. 7 Svarbiausia yra išmintis; įsigyk išmintį ir už visą savo turtą įsigyk supratimą. 8 Vertink ją, ir ji išaukštins tave. Apglėbk ją, ir ji suteiks tau garbę. 9 Ji vainikuos tavo galvą malone, duos tau šlovės karūną. 10 Klausyk, mano sūnau, ir priimk mano žodžius, kad ilgai gyventum. 11 Aš nurodau tau išminties kelią, vedu tiesiais takais. 12 Kai jais eisi, tavo žingsniai nebus varžomi ir bėgdamas nesuklupsi. 13 Tvirtai laikykis pamokymo ir neapleisk jo; saugok jį, nes tai yra tavo gyvybė. 14 Neik nedorėlių taku ir nevaikščiok piktųjų keliu. 15 Venk jo ir nevaikščiok juo, pasitrauk nuo jo ir praeik pro šalį. 16 Jie neužmiega, nepadarę pikto ir miegas iš jų atimamas, kol kam nors nepakenkia. 17 Jie valgo nedorybės duoną ir geria smurto vyną. 18 Teisiųjų takas yra kaip skaisti šviesa, kuri šviečia vis ryškiau iki tobulos dienos. 19 Nedorėlių kelias yra kaip tamsa, jie nežino, kur jie suklups. 20 Mano sūnau, atkreipk dėmesį į mano žodžius, palenk ausį mano pamokymams. 21 Teneatsitraukia jie nuo tavo akių, saugok juos širdies gilumoje. 22 Jie yra gyvybė tiems, kurie juos randa, ir sveikata visam jų kūnui. 23 Saugok su visu stropumu savo širdį, nes iš jos teka gyvenimo versmė. 24 Atstumk nuo savęs nedorą burną, ir iškrypusios lūpos tebūna toli nuo tavęs. 25 Tegul tavo akys žiūri tiesiai ir akių vokai tebūna nukreipti tiesiai prieš tave. 26 Apgalvok taką savo kojai, ir tegu tavo keliai būna įtvirtinti. 27 Nepasuk nei dešinėn, nei kairėn. Patrauk savo koją nuo pikto”.
PBG(i) 1 Słuchajcie synowie! ćwiczenia ojcowskiego, a pilnujcie, abyście umieli roztropność; 2 Albowiem wam naukę dobrą daję; zakonu mego nie opuszczajcie. 3 Gdybym był młodziuchnym synem u ojca mego, i jedynakiem u matki mojej, 4 On mię uczył, powiadając mi: Niech się chwyci powieści moich serce twoje, strzeż przytkazań moich, a będziesz żył. 5 Nabywaj mądrości, nabywaj roztropności; nie zapominaj, ani się uchylaj od powieści ust moich. 6 Nie opuszczaj jej, a będzie cię strzegła; rozmiłuj się jej, a zachowa cię. 7 Początkiem wszystkiego jest mądrość, nabywajże mądrości, a za wzystkę majętność twoję nabywaj roztropności. 8 Wywyższaj ją, a wywyższy cię, rozsławi cię, gdy ją przyjmiesz. 9 Przyda głowie twojej wdzięczności, koroną ozdoby obdarzy cię. 10 Słuchaj, synu mój! a przyjmij powieści moje, a rozmnożąć lata żywota. 11 Drogi mądrości nauczam cię; po ścieszkach prostych wiodę cię; 12 Któremi gdy pójdziesz, nie będzie ściśniony chód twój; a jeźli pobieżysz, nie potkniesz sií. 13 Przyjmij őwiczenie, nie puszczaj się go, strzeż go; albowiem ono jest żywotem twoim. 14 Ścieszką niepobożnych nie chodź, a nie udawaj się drogą złośliwych. 15 Opuść ją, nie chodź po niej; uchyl się od niej, a omiń ją. 16 Boć oni nie zasną, aż co złego zbroją; ani się uspokoją, aż kogo do upadku przywiodą; 17 Albowiem jedzą chleb niezbożności, a wino drapiestwa piją, 18 Ale ścieszka sprawiedliwych jako światłość jasna, która im dalej tem bardziej świeci, aż do dnia doskonałego. 19 Droga zaś niepobożnych jest jako ciemność; nie wiedzą, o co sií otrącić mogą. 20 Synu mój! słów moich pilnuj; ku powieściom moim nakłoń ucha twojego. 21 Niech nie odchodzą od oczów twoich, zachowaj je w pośród serca twego. 22 Albowiem żywotem są tym, którzy je znajdują, a wszystkiemu ciału ich lekarstwem. 23 Nad wszystko, czego ludzie strzegą, strzeż serca twego; bo z niego żywot pochodzi. 24 Oddal od siebie przewrotność ust, a złośliwe wargi oddal od siebie. 25 Oczy twoje niechaj na dobre rzeczy patrzą, a powieki twoje niech drogę przed tobą prostują. 26 Umiarkuj ścieżkę nóg twoich, aby wszystkie drogi twoje pewne były. 27 Nie uchylaj się na prawo ani na lewo; owszem, odwróć nogę twoję od złego.
Portuguese(i) 1 Ouvi, filhos, a instrução do pai, e estai atentos para conhecerdes o entendimento. 2 Pois eu vos dou boa doutrina; não abandoneis o meu ensino. 3 Quando eu era filho aos pés de meu, pai, tenro e único em estima diante de minha mãe, 4 ele me ensinava, e me dizia: Retenha o teu coração as minhas palavras; guarda os meus mandamentos, e vive. 5 Adquire a sabedoria, adquire o entendimento; não te esqueças nem te desvies das palavras da minha boca. 6 Não a abandones, e ela te guardará; ama-a, e ela te preservará. 7 A sabedoria é a coisa principal; adquire, pois, a sabedoria; sim, com tudo o que possuis adquire o entendimento. 8 Estima-a, e ela te exaltará; se a abraçares, ela te honrará. 9 Ela dará à tua cabeça uma grinalda de graça; e uma coroa de glória te entregará. 10 Ouve, filho meu, e aceita as minhas palavras, para que se multipliquem os anos da tua vida. 11 Eu te ensinei o caminho da sabedoria; guiei-te pelas veredas da retidão. 12 Quando andares, não se embaraçarão os teus passos; e se correres, não tropeçarás. 13 Apega-te à instrução e não a largues; guarda-a, porque ela é a tua vida. 14 Não entres na vereda dos ímpios, nem andes pelo caminho dos maus. 15 Evita-o, não passes por ele; desvia-te dele e passa de largo. 16 Pois não dormem, se não fizerem o mal, e foge deles o sono se não fizerem tropeçar alguém. 17 Porque comem o pão da impiedade, e bebem o vinho da violência. 18 Mas a vereda dos justos é como a luz da aurora que vai brilhando mais e mais até ser dia perfeito. 19 O caminho dos ímpios é como a escuridão: não sabem eles em que tropeçam. 20 Filho meu, atenta para as minhas palavras; inclina o teu ouvido às minhas instruções. 21 Não se apartem elas de diante dos teus olhos; guarda-as dentro do teu coração. 22 Porque são vida para os que as encontram, e saúde para todo o seu corpo. 23 Guarda com toda a diligência o teu coração, porque dele procedem as fontes da vida. 24 Desvia de ti a malignidade da boca, e alonga de ti a perversidade dos lábios. 25 Dirijam-se os teus olhos para a frente, e olhem as tuas pálpebras directamente diante de ti. 26 Pondera a vereda de teus pés, e serão seguros todos os teus caminhos. 27 Não declines nem para a direita nem para a esquerda; retira o teu pé do mal.
Romanian(i) 1 Ascultaţi, fiilor, învăţătura unui tată, şi luaţi aminte, ca să pricepeţi; 2 căci eu vă dau sfaturi bune: nu lepădaţi învăţătura mea. 3 Căci cînd eram încă fiu la tatăl meu, şi fiu gingaş şi singur la mama mea, 4 el mă învăţa atunci, şi-mi zicea:,,Păstrează bine în inima ta cuvintele mele, păzeşte învăţăturile mele, şi vei trăi! 5 Dobîndeşte înţelepciune, dobîndeşte pricepere; nu uita cuvintele gurii mele, şi nu te abate dela ele. 6 N'o părăsi, şi ea te va păzi; iubeşte -o, şi te va ocroti! 7 Iată începutul înţelepciunii: dobîndeşte înţelepciunea, şi cu tot ce ai, dobîndeşte priceperea. 8 Înalţă -o, şi ea te va înălţa; ea va fi slava ta, dacă o vei îmbrăţişa. 9 Ea îţi va pune pe cap o cunună plăcută, te va împodobi cu o strălucită cunună împărătească. 10 Ascultă, fiule, primeşte cuvintele mele, şi anii vieţii tale se vor înmulţi. 11 Eu îţi arăt calea înţelepciunii, te povăţuiesc pe cărările neprihănirii. 12 Cînd vei umbla, pasul nu-ţi va fi stînjenit; şi cînd vei alerga, nu te vei poticni. 13 Ţine învăţătura, n'o lăsa din mînă; păstrează -o, căci ea este viaţa ta. 14 Nu intra pe cărarea celor răi, şi nu umbla pe calea celor nelegiuiţi! 15 Fereşte-te de ea, nu trece pe ea; ocoleşte -o, şi treci înainte! 16 Căci ei nu dorm, dacă n'au făcut răul, le piere somnul dacă nu fac pe cineva să cadă; 17 căci ei mănîncă pîne nelegiuită, şi beau vin stors cu sila. 18 Dar cărarea celor neprihăniţi este ca lumina strălucitoare, a cărei strălucire merge mereu crescînd pînă la miezul zilei. 19 Calea celor răi este ca întunerecul gros: ei nu văd de ce se vor poticni. 20 Fiule, ia aminte la cuvintele mele, pleacă-ţi urechea la vorbele mele! 21 Să nu se depărteze cuvintele acestea de ochii tăi, păstrează-le în fundul inimii tale! 22 Căci ele sînt viaţă pentru cei ce le găsesc, şi sănătate pentru tot trupul lor. 23 Păzeşte-ţi inima mai mult de cît orice, căci din ea ies izvoarele vieţii. 24 Izgoneşte neadevărul din gura ta; şi depărtează viclenia de pe buzele tale! 25 Ochii tăi să privească drept, şi pleoapele tale să caute drept înaintea ta. 26 Cărarea pe care mergi să fie netedă, şi toate căile tale să fie hotărîte: 27 nu te abate nici la dreapta nici la stînga, şi fereşte-te de rău.
Ukrainian(i) 1 Послухайте, діти, напучення батькового, і прислухайтеся, щоб навчитися розуму, 2 бо даю я вам добру науку: закона мого не кидайте, 3 бо сином у батька свого я був, пещений й єдиний у неньки своєї. 4 І навчав він мене, і мені говорив: Нехай держиться серце твоє моїх слів, стережи мої заповіді та й живи! 5 Здобудь мудрість, здобудь собі розум, не забудь, і не цурайся слів моїх уст, 6 не кидай її й вона буде тебе стерегти! Кохай ти її й вона буде тебе пильнувати! 7 Початок премудрости мудрість здобудь, а за ввесь свій маєток здобудь собі розуму! 8 Тримай її високо і підійме тебе, ушанує тебе, як її ти пригорнеш: 9 вона дасть голові твоїй гарний вінок, пишну корону тобі подарує! 10 Послухай, мій сину, й бери ти слова мої, і помножаться роки твойого життя, 11 дороги премудрости вчу я тебе, стежками прямими проваджу тебе: 12 коли підеш, то крок твій не буде тісний, а коли побіжиш не спіткнешся! 13 Міцно тримайся напучування, не лишай, його стережи, воно бо життя твоє! 14 На стежку безбожних не йди, і не ходи на дорогу лихих, 15 покинь ти її, не йди нею, усунься від неї й мини, 16 бо вони не заснуть, якщо злого не вчинять, відійметься сон їм, як не зроблять кому, щоб спіткнувся!... 17 Бо вони хліб безбожжя їдять, і вино грабежу попивають. 18 А путь праведних ніби те світло ясне, що світить все більше та більш аж до повного дня! 19 Дорога ж безбожних як темність: не знають, об що спотикнуться... 20 Мій сину, прислухуйся до моїх слів, до речей моїх ухо своє нахили! 21 Нехай не відійдуть вони від очей твоїх, бережи їх в середині серця свого! 22 Бо життя вони тим, хто їх знайде, а для тіла усього його лікування. 23 Над усе, що лише стережеться, серце своє стережи, бо з нього походить життя. 24 Відкинь ти від себе лукавство уст, віддали ти від себе крутійство губ. 25 Нехай дивляться очі твої уперед, а повіки твої нехай перед тобою простують. 26 Стежку ніг своїх вирівняй, і стануть міцні всі дороги твої: 27 не вступайся ні вправо, ні вліво, усунь свою ногу від зла!
