H8085
Hear,
H1121
my sons,
H4148
the instruction
H1
of a father,
H7181
And attend
H3045
to know
H998
understanding:
3
H1121
For I was a son
H1
unto my father,
H7390
Tender
H3173
and only
H6440
beloved in the sight
H517
of my mother.
4
H3384
And he taught
H559
me, and said
H3820
unto me: Let thy heart
H8551
retain
H1697
my words;
H8104
Keep
H4687
my commandments,
H2421
and live;
5
H7069
Get
H2451
wisdom,
H7069
get
H998
understanding;
H7911
Forget
H5186
not, neither decline
H561
from the words
H6310
of my mouth;
6
H5800
Forsake
H8104
her not, and she will preserve
H157
thee; Love
H5341
her, and she will keep thee.
7
H2451
Wisdom
H7225
is the principal thing;
H7069
Therefore get
H2451
wisdom;
H7075
Yea, with all thy getting
H998
get understanding.
8
H5549
Exalt
H7311
her, and she will promote
H3513
thee; She will bring thee to honor,
H2263
when thou dost embrace her.
9
H5414
She will give
H7218
to thy head
H3880
a chaplet
H2580
of grace;
H5850
A crown
H8597
of beauty
H4042
will she deliver to thee.
10
H8085
Hear,
H1121
O my son,
H3947
and receive
H561
my sayings;
H8141
And the years
H2416
of thy life
H7235
shall be many.
11
H3384
I have taught
H1870
thee in the way
H2451
of wisdom;
H1869
I have led
H4570
thee in paths
H3476
of uprightness.
12
H3212
When thou goest,
H6806
thy steps
H3334
shall not be straitened;
H7323
And if thou runnest,
H3782
thou shalt not stumble.
13
H2388
Take fast hold
H4148
of instruction;
H7503
Let her not go:
H5341
Keep
H2416
her; For she is thy life.
14
H935
Enter
H734
not into the path
H7563
of the wicked,
H833
And walk
H1870
not in the way
H7451
of evil men.
16
H3462
For they sleep
H7489
not, except they do evil;
H8142
And their sleep
H1497
is taken away,
H3782
unless they cause some to fall.
17
H3898
For they eat
H3899
the bread
H7562
of wickedness,
H8354
And drink
H3196
the wine
H2555
of violence.
18
H734
But the path
H6662
of the righteous
H5051
is as the dawning
H216
light,
H215
That shineth
H1980
more
H3559
and more unto the perfect
H3117
day.
19
H1870
The way
H7563
of the wicked
H653
is as darkness:
H3045
They know
H3782
not at what they stumble.
21
H3868
Let them not depart
H5869
from thine eyes;
H8104
Keep
H8432
them in the midst
H3824
of thy heart.
22
H2416
For they are life
H4672
unto those that find
H4832
them, And health
H1320
to all their flesh.
23
H5341
Keep
H3820
thy heart
H4929
with all diligence;
H8444
For out of it are the issues
H2416
of life.
24
H5493
Put away
H6143
from thee a wayward
H6310
mouth,
H3891
And perverse
H8193
lips
H7368
put far from thee.
