| Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth. | Get wisdom; get insight: do not forget, nor turn away from the words of my mouth. |
| Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding. | The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom, and whatever else you get, get insight. |
| Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings; and the years of thy life shall be many. | Hear, my child, and accept my words, that the years of your life may be many. |
| I have taught thee in the way of wisdom; I have led thee in right paths. | I have taught you the way of wisdom; I have led you in the paths of uprightness. |
| My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. | My child, be attentive to my words; incline your ear to my sayings. Do not let them escape from your sight; keep them within your heart. |
| Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. | Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life. |
| Put away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee. | Put away from you crooked speech, and put devious talk far from you. |
| Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee. | Let your eyes look directly forward, and your gaze be straight before you. |
| Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established. | Keep straight the path of your feet, and all your ways will be sure. |
| Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: remove thy foot from evil. | Do not swerve to the right or to the left; turn your foot away from evil. |
