31My son, forget not my law; But let thy heart keep my commandments:+2For length of days, and years of life, And peace, will they add to thee.+3Let not kindness and truth forsake thee: Bind them about thy neck; Write them upon the tablet of thy heart:+4So shalt thou find favor and good understanding In the sight of God and man.+5Trust in Jehovah with all thy heart, And lean not upon thine own understanding:+6In all thy ways acknowledge him, And he will direct thy paths.+7Be not wise in thine own eyes; Fear Jehovah, and depart from evil:+8It will be health to thy navel, And marrow to thy bones.+9Honor Jehovah with thy substance, And with the first-fruits of all thine increase:+10So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, And thy vats shall overflow with new wine.+11My son, despise not the chastening of Jehovah; Neither be weary of his reproof:+12For whom Jehovah loveth he reproveth, Even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.+
The Blessings of Wisdom
13Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, And the man that getteth understanding.+14For the gaining of it is better than the gaining of silver, And the profit thereof than fine gold.+15She is more precious than rubies: And none of the things thou canst desire are to be compared unto her.+16Length of days is in her right hand; In her left hand are riches and honor.+17Her ways are ways of pleasantness, And all her paths are peace.+18She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: And happy is every one that retaineth her.+19Jehovah by wisdom founded the earth; By understanding he established the heavens.+20By his knowledge the depths were broken up, And the skies drop down the dew.+21My son, let them not depart from thine eyes; Keep sound wisdom and discretion:+22So shall they be life unto thy soul, And grace to thy neck.+23Then shalt thou walk in thy way securely, And thy foot shall not stumble.+24When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: Yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.+25Be not afraid of sudden fear, Neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh:+26For Jehovah will be thy confidence, And will keep thy foot from being taken.+27Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, When it is in the power of thy hand to do it.+28Say not unto thy neighbor, Go, and come again, And to-morrow I will give; When thou hast it by thee.+29Devise not evil against thy neighbor, Seeing he dwelleth securely by thee.+30Strive not with a man without cause, If he have done thee no harm.+31Envy thou not the man of violence, And choose none of his ways.+32For the perverse is an abomination to Jehovah; But his friendship is with the upright.+33The curse of Jehovah is in the house of the wicked; But he blesseth the habitation of the righteous.+34Surely he scoffeth at the scoffers; But he giveth grace unto the lowly.+35The wise shall inherit glory; But shame shall be the promotion of fools.+
