1 My child, if you take my words to heart, if you set store by my commandments, | 1 My son, if you would accept my words, and conceal my commandments within you, |
2 tuning your ear to wisdom, tuning your heart to understanding, | 2 so that your ears may listen to wisdom, then bend your heart in order to know prudence. |
3 yes, if your plea is for clear perception, if you cry out for understanding, | 3 For if you would call upon wisdom and bend your heart to prudence, |
4 if you look for it as though for silver, search for it as though for buried treasure, | 4 if you will seek her like money, and dig for her as if for treasure, |
5 then you wil understand what the fear of Yahweh is, and discover the knowledge of God. | 5 then you will understand the fear of the Lord, and you will discover the knowledge of God. |
6 For Yahweh himself is giver of wisdom, from his mouth issue knowledge and understanding. | 6 For the Lord bestows wisdom, and out of his mouth, prudence and knowledge. |
7 He reserves his advice for the honest, a shield to those whose ways are sound; | 7 He will preserve the salvation of the righteous, and he will protect those who walk in simplicity: |
8 he stands guard over the paths of equity, he keeps watch over the way of those faithful to him. | 8 serving the paths of justice, and guarding the ways of sanctity. |
9 Then you wil understand uprightness, equity and fair dealing, the paths that lead to happiness. | 9 Then you shall understand justice and judgment, and equity, and every good path. |
10 When wisdom comes into your heart and knowledge fil s your soul with delight, | 10 If wisdom is to enter into your heart, and if knowledge is to become pleasing to your soul, |
11 then prudence wil be there to watch over you, and understanding wil be your guardian | 11 then counsel must guard you, and prudence must serve you, |
12 to keep you from the way that is evil, from those whose speech is deceitful, | 12 so that you may be rescued from the evil way, and from the man who speaks perversities, |
13 from those who leave the paths of honesty to walk the roads of darkness: | 13 from those who leave the straight path to walk in dark ways, |
14 those who find their joy in doing wrong, and their delight in deceitfulness, | 14 who rejoice when they have done evil, and who exult in the most wicked things. |
15 whose tracks are twisted, and the paths that they tread crooked. | 15 Their ways are perverse, and their steps are infamous. |
16 To keep you, too, from the woman who belongs to another, from the stranger, with her wheedlingwords; | 16 So may you be rescued from the foreign woman, and from the outsider, who softens her speech, |
17 she has left the partner of her younger days, she has forgotten the covenant of her God; | 17 and who leaves behind the Guide of her youth, |
18 her house is tilting towards Death, down to the Shades go her paths. | 18 and who has forgotten the covenant of her God. For her household inclines toward death, and her paths toward Hell. |
19 Of those who go to her not one returns, they never regain the paths of life. | 19 All those who enter to her will not return again, nor will they take hold of the paths of life. |
20 Thus you wil tread the way of good people, persisting in the paths of the upright. | 20 So may you walk in the good way, and keep to the difficult paths of the just. |
21 For the land will be for the honest to live in, the innocent will have it for their home; | 21 For those who are upright shall live upon the earth, and the simple shall continue upon it. |
22 while the wicked wil be cut off from the land, and the faithless rooted out of it. | 22 Yet truly, the impious shall perish from the earth, and those who act unjustly shall be taken away from it. |
