Dual Panel1My son<1121>, do not forget<7911> my teaching<8451>, But let your heart<3820> keep<5341> my commandments<4687>;
2For length<753> of days<3117> and years<8141> of life<2425> And peace<7965> they will add<3254> to you.
3Do not let kindness<2617> and truth<571> leave<5800> you; Bind<7194> them around<5921> your neck<1621>, Write<3789> them on the tablet<3871> of your heart<3820>.
4So you will find<4672> favor<2580> and good<2896> repute<7922> In the sight<5869> of God<430> and man<120>.
5Trust<982> in the LORD<3068> with all<3605> your heart<3820> And do not lean<8172> on your own understanding<998>.
6In all<3605> your ways<1870> acknowledge<3045> Him, And He will make<3474> your paths<734> straight<3474>.
7Do not be wise<2450> in your own eyes<5869>; Fear<3372> the LORD<3068> and turn<5493> away<5493> from evil<7451>.
8It will be healing<7500> to your body<8270> And refreshment<8250> to your bones<6106>.
9Honor<3513> the LORD<3068> from your wealth<1952> And from the first<7225> of all<3605> your produce<8393>;
10So your barns<618> will be filled<4390> with plenty<7647> And your vats<3342> will overflow<6555> with new<8492> wine<8492>.
11My son<1121>, do not reject<3988> the discipline<4148> of the LORD<3068> Or loathe<6973> His reproof<8433>,
12For whom<834> the LORD<3068> loves<157> He reproves<3198>, Even as a father<1> corrects the son<1121> in whom he delights<7521>.
13How blessed<835> is the man<120> who finds<4672> wisdom<2451> And the man<120> who gains<6329> understanding<8394>.
14For her profit<5504> is better<2896> than<4480> the profit<5504> of silver<3701> And her gain<8393> better than<4480> fine gold<2742>.
15She is more<4480> precious<3368> than<4480> jewels<6443>; And nothing<3605><3808> you desire<2656> compares<7737> with her.
16Long<753> life<3117> is in her right<3225> hand<3225>; In her left<8040> hand<8040> are riches<6239> and honor<3519>.
17Her ways<1870> are pleasant<5278> ways<1870> And all<3605> her paths<5410> are peace<7965>.
18She is a tree<6086> of life<2425> to those who take<2388> hold<2388> of her, And happy<833> are all who hold<8551> her fast<8551>.
19The LORD<3068> by wisdom<2451> founded<3245> the earth<776>, By understanding<8394> He established<3559> the heavens<8064>.
20By His knowledge<1847> the deeps<8415> were broken<1234> up And the skies<7834> drip<7491> with dew<2919>.
21My son<1121>, let them not vanish<3868> from your sight<5869>; Keep<5341> sound<8454> wisdom<8454> and discretion<4209>,
22So they will be life<2425> to your soul<5315> And adornment<2580> to your neck<1621>.
23Then<227> you will walk<1980> in your way<1870> securely<983> And your foot<7272> will not stumble<5062>.
24When<518> you lie<7901> down<7901>, you will not be afraid<6342>; When you lie<7901> down<7901>, your sleep<8142> will be sweet<6149>.
25Do not be afraid<3372> of sudden<6597> fear<6343> Nor<408> of the onslaught<7724> of the wicked<7563> when<3588> it comes<935>;
26For the LORD<3068> will be your confidence<3689> And will keep<8104> your foot<7272> from being caught<3921>.
27Do not withhold<4513> good<2896> from those to whom it is due<1167>, When it is in your power<3027> to do<6213> it.
28Do not say<559> to your neighbor<7453>, "Go<1980>, and come<7725> back<7725>, And tomorrow<4279> I will give<5414> it," When you have<3426> it with you.
29Do not devise<2790> harm<7463> against<5921> your neighbor<7453>, While he lives<3427> securely<983> beside<854> you.
30Do not contend<7378> with a man<120> without<2600> cause<2600>, If<518> he has done<1580> you no<3808> harm<7463>.
31Do not envy<7065> a man<376> of violence<2555> And do not choose<977> any<3605> of his ways<1870>.
32For the devious<3868> are an abomination<8441> to the LORD<3068>; But He is intimate<5475> with the upright<3477>.
33The curse<3994> of the LORD<3068> is on the house<1004> of the wicked<7563>, But He blesses<1288> the dwelling<5116> of the righteous<6662>.
34Though<518> He scoffs<3917> at the scoffers<3917>, Yet He gives<5414> grace<2580> to the afflicted<6035>.
35The wise<2450> will inherit<5157> honor<3519>, But fools<3684> display<7311> dishonor<7036>.
