| 1 | My sonne, forget not my lawe; but let thine heart keepe my commaundements: |
| 2 | For length of dayes, and long life, and peace shall they adde to thee. |
| 3 | Let not mercy and trueth forsake thee: bind them about thy necke, write them vpon the table of thine heart. |
| 4 | So shalt thou find fauour, and good vnderstanding in the sight of God, and man. |
| 5 | Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and leaue not vnto thine owne vnderstanding. |
| 6 | In all thy wayes acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy pathes. |
| 7 | Be not wise in thine owne eyes: feare the Lord, and depart from euill. |
| 8 | It shalbe health to thy nauill, and marrow to thy bones. |
| 9 | Honour the Lord with thy substance, and with the first fruits of all thine increase. |
| 10 | So shall thy barnes be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine. |
| 11 | My sonne, despise not the chastening of the Lord: neither be weary of his correction. |
| 12 | For whom the Lord loueth, he correcteth, euen as a father the sonne, in whom he delighteth. |
| 13 | Happy is the man that findeth wisedome, and the man that getteth vnderstanding. |
| 14 | For the merchandise of it is better then the merchandise of siluer, and the gaine thereof, then fine gold. |
| 15 | She is more precious then Rubies: and all the things thou canst desire, are not to be compared vnto her. |
| 16 | Length of dayes is in her right hand: and in her left hand, riches and honour. |
| 17 | Her wayes are wayes of plesantnesse: and all her pathes are peace. |
| 18 | She is a tree of life, to them that lay hold vpon her: and happy is euery one that retaineth her. |
| 19 | The Lord by wisedome hath founded the earth; by vnderstanding hath he established the heauens. |
| 20 | By his knowledge the depthes are broken vp; and the cloudes droppe downe the dew. |
| 21 | My sonne, let not them depart from thine eyes: keepe sound wisedome and discretion. |
| 22 | So shall they bee life vnto thy soule, and grace to thy necke. |
| 23 | Then shalt thou walke in thy way safely, & thy foot shall not stumble. |
| 24 | When thou lyest downe, thou shalt not be afraide: yea, thou shalt lye downe, and thy sleepe shalbe sweet. |
| 25 | Be not afraid of sudden feare, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it commeth. |
| 26 | For the Lord shalbe thy confidence, and shall keepe thy foote from being taken. |
| 27 | Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to doe it. |
| 28 | Say not vnto thy neighbour, Goe, and come againe, and to morrow I will giue, when thou hast it by thee. |
| 29 | Deuise not euil against thy neighbour, seeing hee dwelleth securely by thee. |
| 30 | Striue not with a man without cause, if hee haue done thee no harme. |
| 31 | Enuie thou not the oppressour, and choose none of his wayes. |
| 32 | For the froward is abomination to the Lord: but his secret is with the righteous. |
| 33 | The curse of the Lord is in the house of the wicked: but he blesseth the habitation of the iust. |
| 34 | Surely he scorneth the scorners: but he giueth grace vnto the lowly. |
| 35 | The wise shall inherite glory, but shame shalbe the promotion of fooles. |
