¹ Chanting of David. O Jehovah, who shall sojourn in thy tent? who shall dwell in thy holy mountain? ² He going blameless, and working justice, and speaking truth in his heart. ³ Slandering not with his tongue, not doing evil to his neighbor, lifting up no reproach against his neighbor. ⁴ In his eyes a reprobate being despised; and those fearing Jehovah, he will honor. Swearing to the friend, and he will not change. ⁵ Not giving his silver for interest, and gave not presents against the innocent. He doing these things shall not be moved forever.

¹ Proverbs of Solomon, son of David, king of Israel; ² To know wisdom and instruction; to discern the words of understanding; ³ To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice and judgment, and uprightness; ⁴ To give craftiness to the simple, and to the youth, knowledge and meditation. ⁵ The wise one will hear and he will add learning: and he understanding, shall obtain guidance: ⁶ To understand a proverb, and an enigma: the words of the wise and their parables. ⁷ The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of knowledge: the foolish despised wisdom and instruction. ⁸ My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and thou shalt not reject the law of thy mother: ⁹ For they a garland of grace to thy head, and necklaces for thy throat ¹⁰ My son, if they sinning shall entice thee, thou shalt not go in. ¹¹ If they shall say, Go with us, we will lie in wait for blood, we will hide for the innocent gratuitously; ¹² We will swallow them down living, as hades, and whole, as they going down to the pit: ¹³ We shall find precious riches, we will fill our houses with spoil: ¹⁴ Wilt thou cast thy lot in the midst of us; one purse shall be to all: ¹⁵ My son, thou shalt not go in the way with them; withhold thy foot from their beaten paths: ¹⁶ For their feet will run to evil, and they will hasten to pour out blood: ¹⁷ For gratuitously the net was spread in the eyes of all possessing a wing. ¹⁸ And they will lie in wait for their blood; they will hide for their souls. ¹⁹ So the ways of every one plundering plunder; he will take the soul of those possessing it. ²⁰ Wisdom will cry without; in the broad places she will give her voice: ²¹ She will call in the head of sound, in the entrances of the gates: in the city she will say her words: ²² How long, ye simple, will ye love simplicity? and mockers delight to mock for them, and the foolish hate knowledge? ²³ Ye shall turn back at my reproofs: behold, I will pour forth my spirit to you, I will make known my words to you. ²⁴ Because I called and ye will refuse; I stretched forth my hands, and none attending; ²⁵ And ye will reject all my counsels, and ye desired not my reproofs: ²⁶ Also I will laugh at your ruin: I will deride in the coming of your terror; ²⁷ In your terror coming as a destroying tempest, and your ruin shall come as a whirlwind; in the coming upon you of straits and distress. ²⁸ Then they shall call upon me, and I will not answer; they shall seek me, and shall not find me; ²⁹ For that they hated knowledge, and chose not the fear of Jehovah: ³⁰ They desired not for my counsels: and derided all my reproofs. ³¹ And they shall eat from the fruit of their way, and be filled with their purposes ³² For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the error of the foolish shall destroy them. ³³ And he hearing to me shall dwell in confidence, and being quiet from fear of evil.
