Keep My commandments, and live; and My law as the apple of thine eye.

Bind them (Commandments) continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck.

My son, attend unto my wisdom, and bow thine ear to my understanding:

Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding.

Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil.

For the Lord giveth wisdom: out of His mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.

To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity;

Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised.

Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? Who hath gathered the wind in his fists? Who hath bound the waters in a garment? Who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son’s name, if thou canst tell?

Whoso loveth wisdom rejoiceth his father: but he that keepeth company with harlots spendeth his substance.
