My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee.

Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:

Hear Me now therefore, O ye children, and depart not from the words of My mouth.

I have taught thee in the way of wisdom; I have led thee in right paths.

My son, forget not My law; but let thine heart keep My commandments:

So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding;

My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother:

If Thou, Lord, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?

The Lord is righteous: He hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.

Blessed is every one that feareth the Lord; that walketh in His ways.
