* Listen my sons to what your father teaches you . Pay attention and gain understanding . * I give you good instruction . Do not abandon my Law ! * I was my father ’s son , tender and the only son to my mother . * Father taught me . He said : »Remember my words in your heart . Obey my commandments and live . * »Achieve wisdom and understanding ! Do not forget or ignore what I say . * »Do not abandon wisdom , and she will protect you . Love her , and she will keep you safe . * »Wisdom is the most important thing . So gain wisdom ! And by all means arrive at understanding . * »Love wisdom and she will exalt you . Embrace wisdom and she will honor you . * »She will present you with a crown of glory .« * Listen to me , my son . Accept what I tell you and live a long life . * I taught you wisdom and the right way to live . * Walk with wisdom and nothing will stand in your way . Run with wisdom and you will not stumble . * Take firm hold of instruction and do not let go . Obey her for she is your life . * Do not enter the path of the wicked . Do not walk in the way of evil men . * Avoid it ! Do not pass by it . Turn away from it , and pass on ! * They do not sleep unless they have done evil . Their sleep is taken away unless they make someone fall . * They eat the bread of wickedness and drink the wine of violence . * The path of the righteous is like the shining light of dawn that shines brighter and brighter until the more perfect day . * The way of the wicked is like darkness . They do not know what makes them stumble . * My son , pay attention to my words . Incline your ear to my sayings . * Do not let them leave your sight . Hold them in the midst of your heart ! * For they are life to those who find them , and health to all their flesh . * Guard your heart with all diligence for out of it come the source of life . * Put away from you a deceitful mouth . Get rid of devious speech . * Let your eyes look straight ahead . Let you own eyes gaze straight in front of you . * Ponder the path of your feet . Let all your ways be established . * Do not turn to the right or to the left . Remove your foot from evil .
