My son,°
forget°°
not°
my law;°
but let thine heart°
keep°°
my commandments:° |
|

for length of existence, and years of life, and peace, shall they add to thee. |

For°
length°
of days,°
and long°
life,°
and peace,°
shall they add°°
to thee. |

Let not mercy and truth forsake thee; but bind them about thy neck: |
|
3:3
Let not°
mercy°
and truth°
forsake°°
thee: bind°°
them about°
thy neck;°
write°°
them upon°
the table°
of thine heart:° |
|
3:4
so shalt thou find favour: and do thou provide things honest in the sight of the Lord, and of men. |
|
3:4
So shalt thou find°°
favour°
and good°
understanding°
in the sight°
of Elohim°
and man.° |
|
3:5 ¶
Trust in God with all thine heart; and be not exalted in thine own wisdom. |

unto°
thine own understanding.° |
|
3:6
In all thy ways acquaint thyself with her, that she may rightly direct thy paths. |

3:7 ¶
Be not wise in thine own conceit; but fear God, and depart from all evil. |
|

not°
wise°
in thine own eyes:°
fear°°°
Yahweh,°
and depart°°
from evil.°° |
|
3:8
Then shall there be health to thy body, and good keeping to thy bones. |
|
3:8
It shall be°
health°
to thy navel,°
and marrow°
to thy bones.° |
|
3:9
Honour the Lord with thy just labours, and give him the first of thy fruits of righteousness: |
|
3:9
Honour°°°
Yahweh°
with thy substance,°°
and with the firstfruits°°
of all°
thine increase:° |
|
3:10
that thy storehouses may be completely filled with corn, and that thy presses may burst forth with wine. |
|
3:10
So shall thy barns°
be filled°°
with plenty,°
and thy presses°
shall burst out°°
with new wine.° |
|
3:11 ¶
[My] son, despise not the chastening of the Lord; nor faint when thou art rebuked of him: |
|
3:11 ¶
My son,°
despise°°
not°
the chastening°
of Yahweh;°
neither°
be weary°°
of his correction:° |
|
3:12
for whom the Lord loves, he rebukes, and scourges every son whom he receives. |
|
3:12
For°°
whom°
Yahweh°
loveth°°
he correcteth;°°
even as a father°°
the son°
[in whom] he delighteth.°° |
|
3:13 ¶
Blessed is the man who has found wisdom, and the mortal who knows prudence. |

wisdom,°
and the man°
[that] getteth°°
understanding.° |
|
3:14
For it is better to traffic for her, than for treasures of gold and silver. |
|
3:14
For°
the merchandise°
of it [is] better°
than the merchandise°°
of silver,°
and the gain°
thereof than fine gold.°° |
|
3:15
And she is more valuable than precious stones: no evil thing shall resist her: she is well known to all that approach her, and no precious thing is equal to her in value. |
|
3:15
She°
[is] more precious°
than rubies:°°
and all°
the things thou canst desire°
are not°
to be compared°°
unto her. |
|
3:16
For length of existence and years of life are in her right hand; and in her left hand are wealth and glory: out of her mouth proceeds righteousness, and she carries law and mercy upon her tongue. |
|
3:16
Length°
of days°
[is] in her right hand;°
[and] in her left hand°
riches°
and honour.° |
|
3:17
Her ways are good ways, and all her paths are peaceful. |

She is a tree of life to all that lay hold upon her; and she is [a] secure [help] to all that stay themselves on her, as on the Lord. |
|
3:18
She°
[is] a tree°
of life°
to them that lay hold°°
upon her: and happy°°
[is every one] that retaineth°°
her. |
|
3:19
God by wisdom founded the earth, and by prudence he prepared the heavens. |
|
3:19
Yahweh°
by wisdom°
hath founded°°
the earth;°
by understanding°
hath he established°°
the heavens.° |
|
3:20
By understanding were the depths broken up, and the clouds dropped water. |
|
3:20
By his knowledge°
the depths°
are broken up,°°
and the clouds°
drop down°°
the dew.° |
|
3:21 ¶
[My] son, let [them] not pass from [thee], but keep my counsel and understanding: |
|
3:21 ¶
My son,°
let not°
them depart°°
from thine eyes:°°
keep°°
sound wisdom°
and discretion:° |
|
3:22
that thy soul may live, and that there may be grace round thy neck; and it shall be health to thy flesh, and safety to thy bones: |
|
3:22
So shall they be°
life°
unto thy soul,°
and grace°
to thy neck.° |
|
3:23
that thou mayest go confidently in peace in all thy ways, and that thy foot may not stumble. |
|
3:23
Then°
shalt thou walk°°°
in thy way°
safely,°
and thy foot°
shall not°
stumble.°° |
|
3:24
For if thou rest, thou shalt be undismayed; and if thou sleep, thou shalt slumber sweetly. |
|
3:24
When°
thou liest down,°°
thou shalt not°
be afraid:°°
yea, thou shalt lie down,°°
and thy sleep°
shall be sweet.°° |
|
3:25
And thou shalt not be afraid of alarm coming upon thee, neither of approaching attacks of ungodly men. |
|
3:25
Be not°
afraid°°
of sudden°
fear,°°
neither of the desolation°°
of the wicked,°
when°
it cometh.°° |
|
3:26
For the Lord shall be over all thy ways, and shall establish thy foot that thou be not moved. |
|
3:26
For°
Yahweh°
shall be°
thy confidence,°
and shall keep°°
thy foot°
from being taken.°° |
|
3:27 ¶
Forbear not to do good to the poor, whensoever thy hand may have [power] to help [him]. |
|
3:27 ¶
Withhold°°
not°
good°
from them to whom it is due,°°
when it is°
in the power°
of thine hand°
to do°°
[it]. |
|
3:28
Say not, Come back another time, to-morrow I will give; while thou art able to do [him] good: for thou knowest not what the next day will bring forth. |
|
3:28
Say°°
not°
unto thy neighbour,°
Go,°°°
and come again,°°
and to morrow°
I will give;°°
when thou hast°
it by°
thee. |
|
3:29
Devise not evil against thy friend, living near thee and trusting in thee. |
|
3:29
Devise°°
not°
evil°
against°
thy neighbour,°
seeing he°
dwelleth°°
securely°
by°
thee. |
|
3:30 ¶
Be not ready to quarrel with a man without a cause, lest he do thee some harm. |
|
3:30 ¶
Strive°°
not°
with°
a man°
without cause,°
if°
he have done°°
thee no°
harm.° |
|
3:31 ¶
Procure not the reproaches of bad men, neither do thou covet their ways. |
|
3:31 ¶
Envy°°
thou not°
the oppressor,°°
and choose°°
none°°
of his ways.° |
|
3:32
For every transgressor is unclean before the Lord; neither does he sit among the righteous. |
|
3:32
For°
the froward°°
[is] abomination°
to Yahweh:°
but his secret°
[is] with°
the righteous.° |
|
3:33 ¶
The curse of God is in the houses of the ungodly; but the habitations of the just are blessed. |
|
3:33 ¶
The curse°
of Yahweh°
[is] in the house°
of the wicked:°
but he blesseth°°
the habitation°
of the just.° |
|
3:34
The Lord resists the proud; but he gives grace to the humble. |
|
3:34
Surely°
he°
scorneth°°
the scorners:°°
but he giveth°°
grace°
unto the lowly.°°° |
|
3:35
The wise shall inherit glory; but the ungodly have exalted [their own] dishonour. |
|
3:35
The wise°
shall inherit°°
glory:°
but shame°
shall be the promotion°°
of fools.° |
