- Put away from yourself a perverse mouth.
Put corrupt lips far from you. - Let your eyes look straight ahead.
Fix your gaze directly before you. - Make the path of your feet level.
Let all of your ways be established. - Don’t turn to the right hand nor to the left.
Remove your foot from evil. - My son, keep your father’s commandment,
and don’t forsake your mother’s teaching. - Or can one walk on hot coals,
and his feet not be scorched? - The fear of Yahweh is to hate evil.
I hate pride, arrogance, the evil way, and the perverse mouth. - For whoever finds me finds life,
and will obtain favor from Yahweh. - The fear of Yahweh is the beginning of wisdom.
The knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. - A wise son makes a glad father;
but a foolish son brings grief to his mother. - Treasures of wickedness profit nothing,
but righteousness delivers from death. - Blessings are on the head of the righteous,
but violence covers the mouth of the wicked. - The memory of the righteous is blessed,
but the name of the wicked will rot. - The wise in heart accept commandments,
but a chattering fool will fall. - He who walks blamelessly walks surely,
but he who perverts his ways will be found out. - Hatred stirs up strife,
but love covers all wrongs. - He is in the way of life who heeds correction,
but he who forsakes reproof leads others astray. - He who hides hatred has lying lips.
He who utters a slander is a fool. - In the multitude of words there is no lack of disobedience,
but he who restrains his lips does wisely. - The tongue of the righteous is like choice silver.
The heart of the wicked is of little worth. - Yahweh’s blessing brings wealth,
and he adds no trouble to it. - The prospect of the righteous is joy,
but the hope of the wicked will perish. - The way of Yahweh is a stronghold to the upright,
but it is a destruction to the workers of iniquity. - The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable,
but the mouth of the wicked is perverse. - When pride comes, then comes shame,
but with humility comes wisdom.
