May integrity and godliness protect me, for I rely on you!

If an iron axhead is blunt and a workman does not sharpen its edge, he must exert a great deal of effort; so wisdom has the advantage of giving success.

Therefore be very careful how you live– not as unwise but as wise,

When you walk about, they will guide you; when you lie down, they will watch over you; when you wake up, they will talk to you.For the commandments are like a lamp, instruction is like a light, and rebukes of discipline are like the road leading to life,by keeping you from the evil woman, from the smooth tongue of the loose woman.

How can a young person maintain a pure life? By guarding it according to your instructions!With all my heart I seek you. Do not allow me to stray from your commands!In my heart I store up your words, so I might not sin against you.

However, a poor but wise man lived in the city, and he could have delivered the city by his wisdom, but no one listened to that poor man.So I concluded that wisdom is better than might, but a poor man’s wisdom is despised; no one ever listens to his advice.The words of the wise are heard in quiet, more than the shouting of a ruler is heard among fools.Wisdom is better than weapons of war, but one sinner can destroy much that is good.
