1 My son H1121 NMS-1MS , if H518 PART thou wilt receive H3947 VQY2MS my words H561 CMP-1MS , and hide H6845 VQY2MS my commandments H4687 W-CFP-1MS with H854 PART-2FS thee ;
2 So that thou incline H7181 L-VHFC thine ear H241 CFS-2MS unto wisdom H2451 LD-NFS , and apply H5186 VHY2MS thine heart H3820 CMS-2MS to understanding H8394 LD-NFS ;
3 Yea H3588 CONJ , if H518 PART thou criest H7121 VQY3FS after knowledge H998 LD-NFS , and liftest up H5414 VQY2MS thy voice H6963 CMS-2MS for understanding H8394 LD-NFS-3FS ;
4 If H518 PART thou seekest H1245 VPY2MS-3FS her as silver H3701 KD-NMS , and searchest H2664 VQY2MS-3FS for her as for hid treasures H4301 WKD-NMP ;
5 Then H227 ADV shalt thou understand H995 VQY2MS the fear H3374 CFS of the LORD H3068 EDS , and find H4672 VQY2MS the knowledge H1847 W-VQFC of God H430 EDP .
6 For H3588 CONJ the LORD H3068 EDS giveth H5414 VHFA wisdom H2451 NFS : out of his mouth H6310 M-CMS-3MS cometh knowledge H1847 NFS and understanding H8394 W-NFS .

8 He keepeth H5341 L-VQFC the paths H734 CFP of judgment H4941 NMS , and preserveth H8104 VQY3MS the way H1870 W-NMS of his saints H2623 W-NMS .
9 Then H227 ADV shalt thou understand H995 VQY2MS righteousness H6664 NMS , and judgment H4941 W-NMS , and equity H4339 W-NMP ; yea , every H3605 NMS good H2896 AMS path H4570 CMS .
10 When H3588 CONJ wisdom H2451 NFS entereth H935 VQY3FS into thine heart H3820 B-CMS-2MS , and knowledge H1847 W-VQFC is pleasant H5276 VQY3MS unto thy soul H5315 L-CFS-2MS ;
11 Discretion H4209 NFS shall preserve H8104 VQY2MS thee , understanding H8394 NFS shall keep H5341 VQY3FS thee :
12 To deliver H5337 thee from the way H1870 of the evil H7451 AMS man , from the man H376 M-NMS that speaketh H1696 VPPMS froward things H8419 ;
13 Who leave H5800 the paths H734 CFP of uprightness H3476 NMS , to walk H1980 L-VQFC in the ways H1870 of darkness H2822 NMS ;
14 Who rejoice H8056 to do H6213 L-VQFC evil H7451 AMS , and delight in H1523 the frowardness H8419 of the wicked H7451 AMS ;
15 Whose H834 RPRO ways H734 are crooked H6141 , and they froward H3868 in their paths H4570 :
16 To deliver H5337 thee from the strange woman H802 , even from the stranger H5237 which flattereth H2505 with her words H561 CMP-3FS ;
17 Which forsaketh H5800 the guide H441 of her youth H5271 , and forgetteth H7911 the covenant H1285 NFS of her God H430 .
18 For H3588 CONJ her house H1004 inclineth H7743 unto H413 PREP death H4194 NMS , and her paths H4570 unto H413 PREP the dead H7496 .
19 None H3808 NADV that go unto H935 her return again H7725 , neither H3808 ADV take they hold H5381 VHY3MP of the paths H734 CFP of life H2416 NMP .
20 That H4616 L-CONJ thou mayest walk H1980 VQY2MS in the way H1870 B-NMS of good H2896 men , and keep H8104 VQY2MS the paths H734 of the righteous H6662 AMP .
21 For H3588 CONJ the upright H3477 AMP shall dwell in H7931 the land H776 NFS , and the perfect H8549 W-AMP shall remain H3498 in it .
22 But the wicked H7563 shall be cut off H3772 from the earth H776 M-NFS , and the transgressors H898 shall be rooted H5255 out of H4480 PREP-3FS it .
