- Acquire wisdom! Acquire understanding!
Do not forget nor turn away from the words of my mouth. - The beginning of wisdom is: Acquire wisdom;
And with all your possessions, acquire understanding. - Listen, my son, and accept my sayings,
And the years of your life will be many. - I have instructed you in the way of wisdom;
I have led you in upright paths. - My son, pay attention to my words;
Incline your ear to my sayings.
They are not to escape from your sight;
Keep them in the midst of your heart. - Watch over your heart with all diligence,
For from it flow the springs of life. - Rid yourself of a deceitful mouth
And keep devious speech far from you. - Let your eyes look directly ahead
And let your gaze be fixed straight in front of you. - Watch the path of your feet,
And all your ways will be established. - Do not turn to the right or to the left;
Turn your foot from evil.
