1 My son H1121 NMS-1MS , forget H7911 VQY2MS not H408 NPAR my law H8451 CFS-1MS ; but let thine heart H3820 CMS-2MS keep H5341 VQY3MS my commandments H4687 W-CFP-1MS :
2 For H3588 CONJ length H753 CMS of days H3117 NMP , and long H8141 W-NMS life H2416 NMP , and peace H7965 W-NMS , shall they add H3254 VHY3MP to thee .
3 Let not H408 ADV mercy H2617 NMS and truth H571 forsake H5800 thee : bind H7194 them about H5921 PREP thy neck H1621 ; write H3789 them upon H5921 PREP the table H3871 of thine heart H3820 CMS-2MS :
4 So shalt thou find H4672 favor H2580 NMS and good H2896 AMS understanding H7922 in the sight H5869 B-CMP of God H430 EDP and man H120 .
5 Trust H982 in H413 PREP the LORD H3068 EDS with all H3605 B-CMS thine heart H3820 CMS-2MS ; and lean H8172 not H408 NPAR unto H413 PREP thine own understanding H998 .
6 In all H3605 B-CMS thy ways H1870 CMP-2MS acknowledge H3045 him , and he H1931 W-PPRO-3MS shall direct H3474 thy paths H734 .
7 Be H1961 VQI3FS not H408 NPAR wise H2450 AMS in thine own eyes H5869 : fear H3372 the LORD H3068 EDS , and depart H5493 W-VQFA from evil H7451 M-AMS .
8 It shall be H1961 VQI3FS health H7500 to thy navel H8270 , and marrow H8250 to thy bones H6106 .
9 Honor H3513 the LORD H3068 EDS with thy substance H1952 , and with the firstfruits H7225 of all H3605 NMS thine increase H8393 :
10 So shall thy barns H618 be filled H4390 with plenty H7647 , and thy presses H3342 shall burst out H6555 with new wine H8492 .
11 My son H1121 NMS-1MS , despise H3988 not H408 NPAR the chastening H4148 CMS of the LORD H3068 EDS ; neither H408 ADV be weary H6973 of his correction H8433 :
12 For CONJ whom H834 RPRO the LORD H3068 EDS loveth H157 he correcteth H3198 VHY3MS ; even as a father H1 the son H1121 NMS in whom he delighteth H7521 .
13 Happy H835 CMP is the man H120 NMS that findeth H4672 VQPMS wisdom H2451 NFS , and the man H120 W-NMS that getteth H6329 understanding H8394 NFS .
14 For H3588 CONJ the merchandise H5504 of it is better H2896 AMS than the merchandise H5505 of silver H3701 NMS , and the gain H8393 thereof than fine gold H2742 .
15 She H1931 PPRO-3FS is more precious H3368 than rubies H6443 : and all H3605 W-CMS the things thou canst desire H2656 are not H3808 NADV to be compared H7737 unto her .
16 Length H753 CMS of days H3117 NMP is in her right hand H3225 ; and in her left hand H8040 riches H6239 and honor H3519 .
17 Her ways H1870 are ways H1870 of pleasantness H5278 , and all H3605 W-CMS her paths H5410 are peace H7965 .
18 She H1931 PPRO-3FS is a tree H6086 NMS of life H2416 NMP to them that lay hold H2388 upon her : and happy H833 is every one that retaineth H8551 her .
19 The LORD H3068 by wisdom H2451 B-NFS hath founded H3245 the earth H776 NFS ; by understanding H8394 hath he established H3559 the heavens H8064 NMP .
20 By his knowledge H1847 the depths H8415 are broken up H1234 , and the clouds H7834 drop down H7491 VQY3MP the dew H2919 NMS .
21 My son H1121 NMS-1MS , let not H408 NPAR them depart H3868 from thine eyes H5869 : keep H5341 sound wisdom H8454 and discretion H4209 W-NFS :
22 So shall they be H1961 life H2416 NMP unto thy soul H5315 , and grace H2580 to thy neck H1621 L-CFP-2MS .
23 Then H227 ADV shalt thou walk H1980 VQY2MS in thy way H1870 CMS-2MS safely H983 L-NMS , and thy foot H7272 shall not H3808 NADV stumble H5062 .
24 When H518 PART thou liest down H7901 , thou shalt not H3808 ADV be afraid H6342 : yea , thou shalt lie down H7901 , and thy sleep H8142 shall be sweet H6149 .
25 Be not H408 NPAR afraid H3372 of sudden H6597 ADV fear H6343 M-CMS , neither of the desolation H7722 of the wicked H7563 AMP , when H3588 CONJ it cometh H935 .
26 For H3588 CONJ the LORD H3068 EDS shall be H1961 VQY3MS thy confidence H3689 , and shall keep H8104 thy foot H7272 CFS-2MS from being taken H3921 .
27 Withhold H4513 not H408 NPAR good H2896 AMS from them to whom it is due H1167 , when it is H1961 in the power H410 L-NMS of thine hand H3027 to do H6213 it .
28 Say H559 not H408 NPAR unto thy neighbor H7453 , Go H1980 VQI2MS , and come again H7725 , and tomorrow H4279 I will give H5414 VQY1MS ; when thou hast H3426 it by H854 PART-2FS thee .
29 Devise H2790 not H408 NPAR evil H7451 against H5921 PREP thy neighbor H7453 , seeing he H1931 W-PPRO-3MS dwelleth H3427 VQPMS securely H983 L-NMS by H854 PART-2FS thee .
30 Strive H7378 not H408 NPAR with H5973 PREP a man H120 NMS without cause H2600 ADV , if H518 PART he have done H1580 thee no H3808 NADV harm H7451 AFS .
31 Envy H7065 thou not H408 NPAR the oppressor H2555 AMS , and choose H977 none H408 ADV of his ways H1870 .
32 For H3588 CONJ the froward H3868 is abomination H8441 to the LORD H3068 EDS : but his secret H5475 is with H854 the righteous H3477 AMP .
33 The curse H3994 of the LORD H3068 EDS is in the house H1004 B-CMS of the wicked H7563 AMS : but he blesseth H1288 the habitation H5116 of the just H6662 AMP .
34 Surely H518 PART he H1931 PPRO-3MS scorneth H3887 the scorners H3887 : but he giveth H5414 VQY3MS grace H2580 unto the lowly H6035 .
35 The wise H2450 AMP shall inherit H5157 glory H3519 : but shame H7036 shall be the promotion H7311 of fools H3684 W-NMP .
