10HearH8085, my sonH1121, and 1acceptH3947 my sayingsH561 And the 2yearsH8141 of your lifeH2425 will be manyH7235.11I have 3directedH3384 you in the wayH1870 of wisdomH2451; I have ledH1869 you in uprightH3476 pathsH4570.12When you walkH1980, your 4stepsH6806 will not be impededH6887; And ifH518 you runH7323, you 5will not stumbleH3782.136TakeH2388 holdH2388 of instructionH4148; do not letH7503 goH7503. GuardH5341 her, for she is your 7lifeH2425.148Do not enterH935 the pathH734 of the wickedH7563 And do not proceedH833 in the wayH1870 of evilH7451 menH7451.15AvoidH6544 it, do not passH5674 by it; TurnH7847 awayH7847 from it and passH5674 on.16For they 9cannotH3808 sleepH3462 unlessH518H3808 they doH7489 evilH7489; And 10they are robbedH1497 of sleepH8142 unlessH518H3808 they make someone stumbleH3782.17For they 11eatH3898 the breadH3899 of wickednessH7562 And drinkH8354 the wineH3196 of violenceH2555.18But the 12pathH734 of the righteousH6662 is like the 13lightH216 of dawnH5051, That 14shinesH215 brighterH1980 and brighterH1980 untilH5704 the 15fullH3559 dayH3117.19The 16wayH1870 of the wickedH7563 is like darknessH653; They do not knowH3045 over whatH4100 they 1718stumbleH3782.
