2 For|strong="H3588" I|strong="H3588" give|strong="H5414" you|strong="H5414" good|strong="H2896" doctrine|strong="H3948";
3 For|strong="H3588" I|strong="H3588" was|strong="H1961" a|strong="H3068" son|strong="H1121" unto|strong="H6440" my|strong="H1961" father|strong="H1121",
4 And|strong="H1697" he|strong="H1697" taught|strong="H3384" me|strong="H8104", and|strong="H1697" said|strong="H1697" unto|strong="H1697" me|strong="H8104":
5 Get|strong="H7069" wisdom|strong="H2451", get|strong="H7069" understanding;
6 Forsake|strong="H5800" her|strong="H5800" not, and|strong="H8104" she will|strong="H5341" preserve|strong="H5341" thee|strong="H5800";
7 Wisdom|strong="H2451" is the|strong="H3605" principal thing|strong="H3605"; therefore get|strong="H7069" wisdom|strong="H2451";
8 Exalt|strong="H7311" her|strong="H3513", and|strong="H7311" she|strong="H3588" will|strong="H3588" promote|strong="H7311" thee;
9 She will|strong="H5414" give|strong="H5414" to|strong="H5414" thy|strong="H5414" head|strong="H7218" a|strong="H3068" chaplet of|strong="H7218" grace|strong="H2580";
10 Hear|strong="H8085", O|strong="H3068" my|strong="H8085" son|strong="H1121", and|strong="H1121" receive|strong="H3947" my|strong="H8085" sayings;
11 I|strong="H1870" have taught|strong="H3384" thee|strong="H1870" in|strong="H1870" the|strong="H1870" way|strong="H1870" of|strong="H1870" wisdom|strong="H2451";
12 When thou|strong="H3212" goest|strong="H3212", thy steps|strong="H6806" shall|strong="H3808" not|strong="H3808" be|strong="H3808" straitened|strong="H3334";
13 Take|strong="H2388" fast|strong="H2388" hold|strong="H2388" of|strong="H2416" instruction|strong="H4148"; let|strong="H7503" her|strong="H1931" not|strong="H3588" go|strong="H7503":
14 Enter not|strong="H1870" into the|strong="H1870" path|strong="H1870" of|strong="H1870" the|strong="H1870" wicked|strong="H7563",
15 Avoid|strong="H6544" it|strong="H5921", pass|strong="H5674" not|strong="H5674" by|strong="H5921" it|strong="H5921";
16 For|strong="H3588" they|strong="H3588" sleep|strong="H8142" not|strong="H3808", except|strong="H3588" they|strong="H3588" do|strong="H7489" evil|strong="H7489";
17 For|strong="H3588" they|strong="H3588" eat|strong="H3898" the|strong="H3588" bread|strong="H3899" of|strong="H3899" wickedness|strong="H7562",
18 But|strong="H6662" the|strong="H3117" path of|strong="H3117" the|strong="H3117" righteous|strong="H6662" is|strong="H3117" as|strong="H5704" the|strong="H3117" dawning light|strong="H5051",
19 The|strong="H3045" way|strong="H1870" of|strong="H1870" the|strong="H3045" wicked|strong="H7563" is|strong="H4100" as darkness:
20 My|strong="H5186" son|strong="H1121", attend|strong="H7181" to|strong="H1121" my|strong="H5186" words|strong="H1697";

22 For|strong="H3588" they|strong="H1992" are|strong="H1992" life|strong="H2416" unto|strong="H1320" those|strong="H1992" that|strong="H3588" find|strong="H4672" them|strong="H1992",
23 Keep|strong="H5341" thy|strong="H5341" heart|strong="H3820" with|strong="H3820" all|strong="H3605" diligence|strong="H4929";
24 Put|strong="H5493" away|strong="H5493" from|strong="H4480" thee a|strong="H3068" wayward mouth|strong="H6310",
25 Let|strong="H6079" thine|strong="H5048" eyes|strong="H5869" look|strong="H5027" right|strong="H3474" on|strong="H5027",
26 Make|strong="H3559" level|strong="H6424" the|strong="H3605" path|strong="H1870" of|strong="H1870" thy|strong="H3559" feet|strong="H7272",
27 Turn|strong="H5493" not|strong="H5186" to|strong="H5493" the|strong="H5493" right|strong="H3225" hand|strong="H3225" nor|strong="H7451" to|strong="H5493" the|strong="H5493" left|strong="H8040":
