The Value of Wisdom

My child, if you accept my words and treasure up my commandments within you,

making your ear attentive to wisdom and inclining your heart to understanding;

if you indeed cry out for insight, and raise your voice for understanding;

if you seek it like silver, and search for it as for hidden treasures—

then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God.

For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding;

he stores up sound wisdom for the upright; he is a shield to those who walk blamelessly,

guarding the paths of justice and preserving the way of his faithful ones.

Then you will understand righteousness and justice and equity, every good path;

for wisdom will come into your heart, and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul;

prudence will watch over you; and understanding will guard you.

It will save you from the way of evil, from those who speak perversely,

who forsake the paths of uprightness to walk in the ways of darkness,

who rejoice in doing evil and delight in the perverseness of evil;

those whose paths are crooked, and who are devious in their ways.

You will be saved from the loose woman, from the adulteress with her smooth words,

who forsakes the partner of her youth and forgets her sacred covenant;

for her way leads down to death, and her paths to the shades;

those who go to her never come back, nor do they regain the paths of life.

Therefore walk in the way of the good, and keep to the paths of the just.

For the upright will abide in the land, and the innocent will remain in it;

but the wicked will be cut off from the land, and the treacherous will be rooted out of it.

Admonition to Trust and Honor God

My child, do not forget my teaching, but let your heart keep my commandments;

for length of days and years of life and abundant welfare they will give you.

Do not let loyalty and faithfulness forsake you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart.

So you will find favor and good repute in the sight of God and of people.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not rely on your own insight.

In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.

Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord , and turn away from evil.

It will be a healing for your flesh and a refreshment for your body.

Honor the Lord with your substance and with the first fruits of all your produce;

then your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will be bursting with wine.

My child, do not despise the Lord 's discipline or be weary of his reproof,

for the Lord reproves the one he loves, as a father the son in whom he delights.
The True Wealth

Happy are those who find wisdom, and those who get understanding,

for her income is better than silver, and her revenue better than gold.

She is more precious than jewels, and nothing you desire can compare with her.

Long life is in her right hand; in her left hand are riches and honor.

Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.

She is a tree of life to those who lay hold of her; those who hold her fast are called happy.
God's Wisdom in Creation

The Lord by wisdom founded the earth; by understanding he established the heavens;

by his knowledge the deeps broke open, and the clouds drop down the dew.
The True Security

My child, do not let these escape from your sight: keep sound wisdom and prudence,

and they will be life for your soul and adornment for your neck.

Then you will walk on your way securely and your foot will not stumble.

If you sit down, you will not be afraid; when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet.

Do not be afraid of sudden panic, or of the storm that strikes the wicked;

for the Lord will be your confidence and will keep your foot from being caught.

Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in your power to do it.

Do not say to your neighbor, “Go, and come again, tomorrow I will give it”—when you have it with you.

Do not plan harm against your neighbor who lives trustingly beside you.

Do not quarrel with anyone without cause, when no harm has been done to you.

Do not envy the violent and do not choose any of their ways;

for the perverse are an abomination to the Lord , but the upright are in his confidence.

The Lord 's curse is on the house of the wicked, but he blesses the abode of the righteous.

Toward the scorners he is scornful, but to the humble he shows favor.

The wise will inherit honor, but stubborn fools, disgrace.

The wicked flee when no one pursues, but the righteous are as bold as a lion.

When a land rebels it has many rulers; but with an intelligent ruler there is lasting order.

A ruler who oppresses the poor is a beating rain that leaves no food.

Those who forsake the law praise the wicked, but those who keep the law struggle against them.

The evil do not understand justice, but those who seek the Lord understand it completely.

Better to be poor and walk in integrity than to be crooked in one's ways even though rich.

Those who keep the law are wise children, but companions of gluttons shame their parents.

One who augments wealth by exorbitant interest gathers it for another who is kind to the poor.

When one will not listen to the law, even one's prayers are an abomination.

Those who mislead the upright into evil ways will fall into pits of their own making, but the blameless will have a goodly inheritance.

The rich is wise in self-esteem, but an intelligent poor person sees through the pose.

When the righteous triumph, there is great glory, but when the wicked prevail, people go into hiding.

No one who conceals transgressions will prosper, but one who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy.

Happy is the one who is never without fear, but one who is hard-hearted will fall into calamity.

Like a roaring lion or a charging bear is a wicked ruler over a poor people.

A ruler who lacks understanding is a cruel oppressor; but one who hates unjust gain will enjoy a long life.

If someone is burdened with the blood of another, let that killer be a fugitive until death; let no one offer assistance.

One who walks in integrity will be safe, but whoever follows crooked ways will fall into the Pit.

Anyone who tills the land will have plenty of bread, but one who follows worthless pursuits will have plenty of poverty.

The faithful will abound with blessings, but one who is in a hurry to be rich will not go unpunished.

To show partiality is not good— yet for a piece of bread a person may do wrong.

The miser is in a hurry to get rich and does not know that loss is sure to come.

Whoever rebukes a person will afterward find more favor than one who flatters with the tongue.

Anyone who robs father or mother and says, “That is no crime,” is partner to a thug.

The greedy person stirs up strife, but whoever trusts in the Lord will be enriched.

Those who trust in their own wits are fools; but those who walk in wisdom come through safely.

Whoever gives to the poor will lack nothing, but one who turns a blind eye will get many a curse.

When the wicked prevail, people go into hiding; but when they perish, the righteous increase.
