111My sonH1121, do not rejectH3988 the 2disciplineH4148 of the LordH3068 Or loatheH6973 His reproofH8433,12For 3whomH834 the LordH3068 lovesH157 He reprovesH3198, Even 4as a fatherH1 corrects the sonH1121 in whom he delightsH7521.

135How blessedH835 is the manH120 who findsH4672 wisdomH2451 And the manH120 who gainsH6329 understandingH8394.14For her 6profitH5504 is betterH2896 thanH4480 the profitH5504 of silverH3701 And her gainH8393 better thanH4480 fine goldH2742.15She is 7moreH4480 preciousH3368 thanH4480 8jewelsH6443; And nothingH3605H3808 you desireH2656 comparesH7737 with her.16910LongH753 lifeH3117 is in her rightH3225 handH3225; In her leftH8040 handH8040 are 11richesH6239 and honorH3519.17Her 12waysH1870 are pleasantH5278 waysH1870 And allH3605 her pathsH5410 are 13peaceH7965.18She is a 14treeH6086 of lifeH2425 to those who takeH2388 holdH2388 of her, And happyH833 are all who holdH8551 her fastH8551.19The LordH3068 15by wisdomH2451 foundedH3245 the earthH776, By understandingH8394 He 16establishedH3559 the heavensH8064.20By His knowledgeH1847 the 17deepsH8415 were brokenH1234 up And the 18skiesH7834 dripH7491 with dewH2919.21My sonH1121, 19let them not 20vanishH3868 from your sightH5869; KeepH5341 soundH8454 wisdomH8454 and discretionH4209,22So they will be 21lifeH2425 to your soulH5315 And 22adornmentH2580 to your neckH1621.23ThenH227 you will 23walkH1980 in your wayH1870 securelyH983 And your footH7272 will not 24stumbleH5062.24WhenH518 you 25lieH7901 downH7901, you will not be afraidH6342; When you lieH7901 downH7901, your sleepH8142 will be sweetH6149.2526Do not be afraidH3372 of suddenH6597 fearH6343 NorH408 of the 2728onslaughtH7724 of the wickedH7563 whenH3588 it comesH935;26For the LordH3068 will be 29your confidenceH3689 And will 30keepH8104 your footH7272 from being caughtH3921.

2731Do not withholdH4513 goodH2896 from 32those to whom it is dueH1167, When it is in your powerH3027 to doH6213 it.2833Do not sayH559 to your neighborH7453, “GoH1980, and comeH7725 backH7725, And tomorrowH4279 I will giveH5414 it,” When you haveH3426 it with you.2934Do not deviseH2790 harmH7463 againstH5921 your neighborH7453, While he livesH3427 securelyH983 besideH854 you.3035Do not contendH7378 with a manH120 withoutH2600 causeH2600, IfH518 he has doneH1580 you noH3808 harmH7463.3136Do not envyH7065 a manH376 of violenceH2555 And do not chooseH977 anyH3605 of his waysH1870.32For the 37deviousH3868 are an abominationH8441 to the LordH3068; But 38He is 39intimateH5475 with the uprightH3477.33The 40curseH3994 of the LordH3068 is on the houseH1004 of the wickedH7563, But He 41blessesH1288 the dwellingH5116 of the righteousH6662.34ThoughH518 42He scoffsH3917 at the scoffersH3917, Yet 43He givesH5414 graceH2580 to the afflictedH6035.3544The wiseH2450 will inheritH5157 honorH3519, But foolsH3684 45displayH7311 dishonorH7036.
