Dual Panel1My child <01121>, do not <0408> forget <07911> my teaching <08451>, but let your heart <03820> keep <05341> my commandments <04687>,
2for <03588> they will provide a long <0753> and full life <02416> <08141> <03117>, and they will add <03254> well-being <07965> to you.
3Do not <0408> let truth <0571> and mercy <02617> leave <05800> you; bind <07194> them around <05921> your neck <01621>, write <03789> them on <05921> the tablet <03871> of your heart <03820>.
4Then you will find <04672> favor <02580> and good <02896> understanding <07922>, in the sight <05869> of God <0430> and people <0120>.
5Trust <0982> in the Lord <03068> with all <03605> your heart <03820>, and do not <0408> rely <08172> on your own understanding <0998>.
6Acknowledge <03045> him in all <03605> your ways <01870>, and he <01931> will make <03474> your paths <0734> straight <03474>.
7Do not <0408> be <01961> wise <02450> in your own estimation <05869>; fear <03372> the Lord <03069> and turn away <05493> from evil <07451>.
8This will bring <01961> healing <07500> to your body <08270>, and refreshment <08250> to your inner self <06106>.
9Honor <03513> the Lord <03068> from your wealth <01952> and from the first fruits <07225> of all <03605> your crops <08393>;
10then your barns <0618> will be filled <04390> completely <07647>, and your vats <03342> will overflow <06555> with new wine <08492>.
11My child <01121>, do not <0408> despise <03988> discipline <04148> from the Lord <03068>, and do not <0408> loathe <06973> his rebuke <08433>.
12For <03588> the Lord <03068> disciplines <03198> those <0834> he loves <0157>, just as a father <01> disciplines the son <01121> in whom he delights <07521>.
13Blessed <0835> is the one <0120> who finds <04672> wisdom <02451>, and the one <0120> who obtains <06329> understanding <08394>.
14For <03588> her benefit <05504> is more <02896> profitable <05505> than silver <03701>, and her gain <08393> is better than gold <02742>.
15She <01931> is more precious <03368> than rubies <06443>, and none <03808> <03605> of the things you desire <02656> can compare <07737> with her.
16Long <0753> life <03117> is in her right hand <03225>; in her left hand <08040> are riches <06239> and honor <03519>.
17Her ways <01870> are very pleasant <05278>, and all <03605> her paths <05410> are peaceful <07965>.
18She is like a tree <06086> of life <02416> to those who obtain <02388> her, and everyone who grasps hold <08551> of her will be blessed <0833>.
19By wisdom <02451> the Lord <03068> laid the foundation <03245> of the earth <0776>; he established <03559> the heavens <08064> by understanding <08394>.
20By his knowledge <01847> the primordial sea <08415> was broken <01234> open, and the clouds <07834> drip down <07491> dew <02919>.
21My child <01121>, do not <0408> let <03868> them escape <03868> from your sight <05869>; safeguard <05341> sound wisdom <08454> and discretion <04209>.
22So they will give <01961> life <02416> to you <05315>, and grace <02580> to adorn your neck <01621>.
23Then <0227> you will walk <01980> on your way <01870> with security <0983>, and you will not <03808> stumble <05062>.
24When <0518> you lie down <07901> you will not <03808> be filled with fear <06342>; when you lie down <07901> your sleep <08142> will be pleasant <06149>.
25You will not <0408> be afraid <03372> of sudden <06597> disaster <06343>, or when <03588> destruction <07722> overtakes <0935> the wicked <07563>;
26for <03588> the Lord <03068> will be <01961> the source of your confidence <03689>, and he will guard <08104> your foot <07272> from being caught <03921> in a trap.
27Do not <0408> withhold <04513> good <02896> from those who need <01167> it, when <01961> you have the ability <03027> to help <06213>.
28Do not <0408> say <0559> to your neighbor <07453>, “Go <01980>! Return <07725> tomorrow <04279> and I will give <05414> it,” when you have <03426> it with <0854> you at the time.
29Do not <0408> plot <02790> evil <07451> against <05921> your neighbor <07453> when he <01931> dwells <03427> by <0854> you unsuspectingly <0983>.
30Do not <0408> accuse <07378> anyone <0120> without legitimate cause <02600>, if <0518> he has not <03808> treated <01580> you wrongly <07451>.
31Do not <0408> envy <07065> a violent <02555> man <0376>, and do not <0408> choose <0977> to imitate any <03605> of his ways <01870>;
32for <03588> one who goes astray <03868> is an abomination <08441> to the Lord <03068>, but he reveals his intimate counsel <05475> to the upright <03477>.
33The Lord’s <03068> curse <03994> is on the household <01004> of the wicked <07563>, but he blesses <01288> the home <05116> of the righteous <06662>.
34Although <0518> he <01931> is scornful <03887> to arrogant scoffers <03887>, yet he shows <05414> favor <02580> to the humble <06041>.
35The wise <02450> inherit <05157> honor <03519>, but he holds <07311> fools <03684> up <07311> to public contempt <07036>.
