And attend to know understanding:

Forsake ye not my law.

Tender and only beloved in the sight of my mother.

Let thy heart retain my words;

Keep my commandments, and live;

Forget not, neither decline from the words of my mouth;

Love her, and she will keep thee.

Yea, with all thy getting get understanding.

She will bring thee to honor, when thou dost embrace her.

A crown of beauty will she deliver to thee.

And the years of thy life shall be many.

I have led thee in paths of uprightness.

And if thou runnest, thou shalt not stumble.

Keep her; for she is thy life.

And walk not in the way of evil men.

Turn from it, and pass on.

And their sleep is taken away, unless they cause some to fall.

And drink the wine of violence.

That shineth more and more unto the perfect day.

They know not at what they stumble.

Incline thine ear unto my sayings.

Keep them in the midst of thy heart.

And health to all their flesh.

For out of it are the issues of life.

And perverse lips put far from thee.

And let thine eyelids look straight before thee.

And let all thy ways be established.

Remove thy foot from evil.
