1 - Hear, my children, the instruction of a father, And give attention to know understanding;
2 - For I give you good doctrine: Do not forsake my law.
3 - When I was my father's son, Tender and the only one in the sight of my mother,
4 - He also taught me, and said to me: "Let your heart retain my words; Keep my commands, and live.
5 - Get wisdom! Get understanding! Do not forget, nor turn away 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 the principal thing; Therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding.
8 - Exalt her, and she will promote you; She will bring you honor, when you embrace her.
9 - She will place on your head an ornament of grace; A crown of glory she will deliver to you."
10 - Hear, my son, and receive my sayings, And the years of your life will be many.
11 - I have taught you in the way of wisdom; I have led you in right paths.
12 - When you walk, your steps will not be hindered, And when you run, you will not stumble.

14 - Do not enter the path of the wicked, And do not walk in the way of evil.
15 - Avoid it, do not travel on it; Turn away from it and pass on.
16 - For they do not sleep unless they have done evil; And 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 just is like the shining sun, That shines ever brighter unto the perfect day.
