4 And he taught me and said to me, Let thine heart retain my words; Keep my commandments, and live.
5 Get wisdom, get understanding, and do not forget you or heckling the words of my mouth.
6 Do not forsake her and she will keep you; He loves her, and she protegerá.7 you Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting in acquiring understanding.
8 Exalt her, and she will exalt you; and, holding her you, she will honor you.
9 will give to your head an ornament of grace and a crown of glory deliver thee.
10 Listen, my son, and receive my words, and multiply the years of your life.
11 In the way of wisdom taught you, and paths of righteousness did you walk.
12 For they walk, do not embarrass your steps; and if you run not stumble.
13 Take fast hold of instruction, do not let go; guard her, for she is thy life.
14 Enter not into the path of the wicked or walk in the way of evil.
15 Avoid it; pass not by it; turn from it, and pass away.
16 For I sleep, if they do evil, and robbed of sleep if they do not tripping.
17 For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of violência.18 The path of the just is as the shining 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; to my incline thine ear.
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 health to all their body.
23 Over all that, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life.
24 Turn away from you the falsity of the mouth and away from thee perverseness of lips.
25 Let your eyes look straight ahead, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee.
26 Ponder the path of thy feet, and all thy ways be established!
27 Turn not to the right or to the left; remove thy foot from evil.
