- Acquire wisdom and gain understanding;
never forget or turn aside from my words. - The beginning of wisdom is: acquire wisdom,
and no matter what the cost, acquire understanding. - Listen, my son, and take my words to heart,
and the years of your life will be multiplied. - I have instructed you in the ways of wisdom
and led you along the paths of righteousness. - My son, concentrate attentively on my words;
pay heed to the instructions I pass on to you.
Do not let them slip from your mind;
keep them forever in your heart. - Guard your heart with all possible vigilance,
for from it flow the wellsprings of life. - Turn away from the mouth that deceives
and keep your distance from lips that mislead. - Let your eyes look straight ahead;
fix your gaze on what lies before you. - Ensure that the path you tread is level,
and then your ways will be sure. - Do not swerve either to the right or to the left;
keep your foot far from evil.
